Out of the 103,013 claims filed from the Gulf oil disaster through July 10, BP has paid out 48,795. That’s less than 50%. So far, $163 million has been paid for filings in six states. The company says it fully intends to pay for all “legitimate” claims but has had to delay some filings due to improper documentation. It says one of the issues is verifying workers who were paid in cash and, in lieu of them having W-2s or pay stubs, a letter from a seafood processor would be acceptable. BP is warning workers to be wary of anyone who attempts to charge them for filing a claim and to report those scammers to the state attorney general’s office.
