Electronic Proof of Claim and Related Documents (ePOC)

All claims, including Chapter 13 claims, shall be filed directly with the Court (and not with the Trustee's office), unless there is an assigned Claims Agent.  Link to Claims Agent Information

All claims in any case where there is no claims agent assigned are accepted electronically through the Court's website (ePOC), through CM/ECF, or by mail.  The Court strongly encourages the use of ePOC.


A login/password is not required to submit an Electronic Proof of Claim (ePOC).  ePOC can be used for all chapters.

The name and complete address of the creditor must appear on the claim form. If an attorney is filing the claim on behalf of a creditor, the attorney should also enter his/her name and address. The name and title, if any, of the person authorized to file the claim is required on the claim form.

Penalty for filing fraudulent claim: Fine of up to $500,000 or Imprisonment for up to 5 years, or both. 11 U.S.C. §§ 152 and 3571.
