  • (BP) - Gulf Coast Claims Facility Website

    The Gulf Coast Claims Facility Website

    The Gulf Coast Claims Facility ("GCCF") is the official way for Individuals and Businesses to file claims for costs and damages incurred as a result of the oil discharges due to the Deepwater Horizon Incident on April 20, 2010 ("the Spill"). The GCCF is administered by Kenneth R. Feinberg ("the Claims Administrator"), a neutral fund administrator responsible for all decisions relating to the administration and processing of claims by the GCCF.

    All claims filed before August 23, 2010 have been transferred to the GCCF for ongoing review and determination.
    This website provides information about how to file a claim, how to check the current status of a claim, and answers to questions about the process. If you are interested in making a claim you should review this website, call our toll-free helpline at 1-800-916-4893 (for TTY assistance call 1-866-682-1758), or email us at info@gccf-claims.com.
