Section 500.8135 - Proof of claims; filing; circumstances permitting late filing; receipt of distributions by late filing claimants(1) Proof of all claims shall be filed with the liquidator in the form required by section 8136 on or before the last day for filing specified in the notice required under section 8122, except that proof of claims for cash surrender values or other investment values in life insurance and annuities need not be filed unless the liquidator expressly so requires.(2) The liquidator may permit a claimant making a late filing to share in distributions, whether past or future, as if he or she were not late, to the extent that the payment will not prejudice the orderly administration of the liquidation, under the following circumstances: (a) The existence of the claim was not known to the claimant and that he or she filed his or her claim as promptly thereafter as reasonably possible after learning of it.(b) A transfer to a creditor was avoided under sections 8126 to 8128, or was voluntarily surrendered under section 8129, and that the filing satisfies the conditions of section 8129.(c) The valuation under section 8141 of security held by a secured creditor shows a deficiency, which is filed within 30 days after the valuation.(3) The liquidator shall permit late filing claims to share in distributions, whether past or future, as if they were not late, if those claims are claims of a guaranty association or foreign guaranty association for reimbursement of covered claims paid, expenses incurred, or both, after the last day for filing and if the payments were made and expenses incurred as provided by law.(4) The liquidator may consider a claim filed late which is not covered by subsection (2) and permit it to receive distributions which are subsequently declared on any claims of the same or lower priority if the payment does not prejudice the orderly administration of the liquidation. The late filing claimant shall receive, at each distribution, the same percentage of the amount allowed on his or her claim as is then being paid to claimants of any lower priority. This shall continue until his or her claim has been paid in full.Add. 1989, Act 302, Imd. Eff. 1/3/1990 .
