The Deepwater Horizon claimant assistant centers, including the one on Veterans Boulevard in Metairie, will close Friday as the program moves into a different phase, administrator Patrick Juneau said today.
The centers were established to help with the intake of claims during the program’s first three years.
“Since the deadline to file claims was June 8, the program is now entering into a different phrase,” Juneau said. “We are now putting our resources into the review of claims. We knew as the program continued, we would come to the day when the claimant assistance centers are no longer needed for the intake of claims.”
Juneau said the toll-free help line is still operational. If claimants have questions about their claims, they can call toll-free, (866) 992-6174. For TTY assistance, call (888) 584-7624.
Claimants can also email their questions to questions@dhecc.com.
