Introduction
Welcome to the
Armenian Insurance Settlement Fund
(“AISF”) Web Site.
This is the official site for
news and information regarding the settlement of the class
action, Martin Marootian et al., on behalf of themselves
and all others similarly situated Plaintiffs v. New York
Life Insurance Company, Defendant, Case No. C99012073
CAS (MCx), in the United States District Court, Central
District of California.
The Settlement was approved
on July 20, 2004 by Judge Christina A. Snyder of the United
States District Court in Los Angeles, California.
The Settlement
Board
is currently in the process of evaluating all Notice of
Claims received prior to the deadline of March 16, 2005. A
letter, which describes the current evaluation process and
plans for distribution, has been sent to all claimants, both
timely and late, who submitted Notice of Claim forms.
In order to fully process all claims,
those who have submitted notices on time have been requested
to complete the
AISF
Questionnaire in order
to provide the
Board
with additional supporting information. If you are in need
of an additional questionnaire, you may download it from
this site and mail it to the Armenian Insurance Settlement
Fund office no later than a post-marked date of November
7, 2005. Please note that the questionnaire is only for
claimants who received a letter from the
Board
requesting such information. If you submit a questionnaire
without having been requested to do so, it will not be
considered as a properly received claim.
We urge claimants to submit any
additional supporting documentation at this time. To
complete your submission, you must comply with the
settlement agreement’s supporting documentation requirements
which are described in the letter sent to all claimants who
properly filed on time. Please click on the
“Request
for Additional Supporting Documentation Letter”
to read the requirements before submitting any new
information or documentation. If you do not have any
additional information or documentation to submit, please
write to the Armenian Insurance Settlement Fund
Board
and indicate that you will not be submitting anything else
to your file. Please write your name and name of insured on
the letter.
All documents and complete
questionnaires must be sent to the Armenian Insurance
Settlement Fund
Board
Office at: 900 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 614, Los Angeles,
California, 90017, and post-marked no later than November
