Section 27-9-3-33 - Filing proof of claims(a) Proof of all claims must be filed with the liquidator in the form required by section 34 of this chapter on or before the last day for filing specified in the notice required by section 10 of this chapter, 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 requires it.(b) The liquidator may permit a claimant making a late filing to share in distributions, whether past or future, as if he were not late, to the extent that any late payment will not prejudice the orderly administration of the liquidation, when: (1) the existence of the claim was not known to the claimant but that after learning of it he filed his claim as promptly as is reasonably possible;(2) a transfer to a creditor was avoided under sections 14 through 16 of this chapter, or was voluntarily surrendered under section 27 of this chapter and that the filing satisfies the conditions of section 27 of this chapter; and(3) the valuation under section 39 of this chapter, of security held by a secured creditor shows a deficiency, which is filed within thirty (30) days after the valuation.(c) 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 or expenses after the last day for filing where the payments were made and expenses incurred as provided by law.(d) The liquidator may consider any claim filed late that is not covered by subsection (b), and permit it to receive distributions that 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 claim as is then being paid to claimants of any lower priority. This shall continue until his claim has been paid in full.As added by Acts1979 , P.L. 255, SEC.1.
