842.24—Filing a claim.
(a) How and when to file a claim.
A claim is filed when a federal military agency receives from a claimant or duly authorized agent a properly completed AF Form 180, DD Form 1842 or other written and signed demand for a specified sum of money.
(b) Amending a claim.
A claimant may amend a claim at any time prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations by submitting a signed amendment. The settlement authority adjudicates and settles or forwards the amended claim as appropriate.
(c) Separate claims.
The claimant files a separate claim for each incident which caused a loss. For transportation claims, this means a separate claim for each shipment.
