Watch out for
- The claim deadline has passed — this settlement is listed as closed; check whether a late-claim exception applies by contacting the administrator
- If you owe a tax or child support debt to the District, your refund may be withheld or reduced
- OAG reserves the right to request additional information and documentation to confirm eligibility
- Your real estate agent must have received a financial incentive for referring the specific title company you used — not all buyers of title insurance from these companies automatically qualify
