Szanowni Państwo, 

Estimados reclamantes, 
 
Nuestro equipo trabaja arduamente para evaluar los reclamos y tomar decisiones sobre la elegibilidad. Es probable que algunos de ustedes ya hayan recibido una carta en donde se les confirma que cumplen con los requisitos para recibir una compensación. Otras personas recibirán esta carta en las próximas semanas.  
 

Dear Claimants,

Our team is working hard to review claims and make eligibility determinations. Some of you have already received letters telling you that you are eligible for compensation. Many others will receive those letters in the coming weeks.

As we conduct these reviews, we have noticed that many submitted claims are missing critical information and the supporting documentation needed for us to make a decision.
