MEMORANDUM ____________________________________________________
TO: Fund Trustees and Claim Coordinators Representing Member School
Districts
FROM: Louis J. Greco, Esquire Fund Solicitor
RE: Procedures for Handling Tort Claims for ACCASBO/BCIP/GCSSD Joint Insurance Funds
DATE: July 18, 2012
________________________________________________________________________
The Board of Trustees of the Atlantic and Cape May Counties Association of School Business Officials Joint Insurance Fund (ACCASBOJIF), Burlington County Insurance Pool Joint Insurance Fund (BCIPJIF) and Gloucester, Cumberland, Salem School Districts (GCSSDJIF) have established certain uniform procedures for the member Boards of Education to handle claims filed against them. It is the purpose of this memorandum to review the applicable procedures for the handling of tort claims so that all claims are handled promptly and efficiently.
Attached to this memorandum is a thirteen page “Notice of Tort Claim” form. This form will be used any time a claimant (third party) asserts the school district caused his/her damages. The Notice of Tort Claim form must be adopted by your Board of Education via a resolution adopting it as the Board’s official form. A sample resolution is attached. Personalized forms containing your Board of Education’s address will be mailed under separate cover.
Under the law (the Tort Claims Act), we are entitled to require the disclosure of information related to the claim, including information that will enable us to evaluate both liability and damages. The failure of a claimant to provide the requested information on our form in a timely manner can protect the Board of Education against the claim by resulting in the dismissal of the claim. The use of the official form may not win every case for us, but it will give us an additional basis for defending litigation if the claimants have not filed the claim properly and if they have not provided the information by the official form once they have been notified about the form.
In most instances, the first contact you will have will be a letter from an attorney asserting a claim against the Board of Education or against a Board of Education employee. When you receive information from a third party you should do the following:
• Whenever a Notice of Tort Claim or a letter asserting a claim against the Board of Education or against a Board of Education employee is received by the Board of Education, it should be date stamped to show the date on which it was received. [Please note: whenever there is a difference of more than a few days between the postmark on the envelope conveying the initial notice to you and the date that is shown on the Notice or the cover letter, it would be useful to keep the envelope and to provide us with a photocopy of it. We have found several occasions where a Notice is dated on one date and received several weeks later. In that instance, it is very useful to have the envelope showing the date mailed, so that a claimant cannot back date a Notice to comply with statutory deadlines.]
• A copy of the notice should be sent to both Qual-Lynx, the Claims Administrator for the Fund and to me as the Solicitor for the Fund using the tort transmittal form attached to this memorandum.
• At the time you transmit the notice to our offices, kindly provide each of us with whatever information you may have on the incident giving rise to the claim, i.e., internal accident reports, police reports, copies of documents, internal contact person, etc., as that will enable us to get a handle on the claim quickly.
• When the initial contact is received, you should notify the claimant or the attorney for the claimant, by certified mail, return receipt requested, that the claim must be filed on a specific form adopted by the Board of Education for that purpose. A sample format for a responsive letter is attached for your use. A copy of the officially adopted Tort Claim Form should be enclosed with the response letter.
• Once the return receipt is returned, you should retain it in your records, in case we need it at some future time to prove that the claimant was given notice.
There should be no exceptions to this procedure. Just because you may believe that there is no basis for the claim, because it happened outside of the normal school activities, or for any other reason, does not mean that the procedure should not be followed. The Board of Education or an employee of the Board of Education may still be named in the resulting litigation filed by the claimant and it is then too late to [1] gather the necessary information that might have protected the Board of Education or the employee early in the claim process or [2] raise defenses based on the failure of the claimant to comply with the New Jersey Tort Claims Act.
When the completed Notice of Tort Claim form has been returned to you, it should be date stamped to show the date that it was received and copies should be sent to Qual-Lynx and to me so that our information will be as complete as possible regarding the claim.
When a Summons and Complaint is received or when a Notice of Motion is received, or any document that appears to involve a court proceeding, most likely in the New Jersey Superior Court or the United States District Court, that document should be transmitted immediately to Qual-Lynx and to me, as it may require immediate action and the assignment of defense counsel. The receipt of court documents justifies using the telefax to immediately get the documents to Qual-Lynx and to me.
Appropriate telefax numbers are:
Louis J. Greco, Esquire (609)-625-2340 Qual-Lynx Associates (609)-926-9270
When a Summons and Complaint is received, that is not the time to send out the form letter on the Notice of Tort Claim procedures. Even if the Summons and Complaint is your first notice of the claim, do not send out the form letter on the Notice of Tort Claim procedures. Rather, fax the Summons and Complaint to Qual-Lynx and to me, as outlined above. You should keep a log of claims received for convenient reference to assist you in verifying that the claim was received and that the response was properly handled.
If you have any questions regarding the handling of claims, please do not hesitate to ask.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the federal agency that
oversees the Medicare program. Many Medicare beneficiaries have other insurance in addition to their Medicare benefits. Sometimes, Medicare is supposed to pay after the other insurance. However, if certain other insurance delays payment, Medicare may make a “conditional payment” so as not to inconvenience the beneficiary, and recover after the other insurance pays.
Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (MMSEA), a new federal law that became effective January 1, 2009, requires that liability insurers (including self-insurers), no-fault insurers, and workers’ compensation plans report specific information about Medicare beneficiaries who have other insurance coverage. This reporting is to assist CMS and other insurance plans to properly coordinate payment of benefits among plans so that your claims are paid promptly and correctly.
We are asking you to the answer the questions below so that we may comply with this law.
