Marathon Victims Pushed to Meet One Fund Boston June 15 Deadline

Administrator Kenneth Feinberg is urging people to submit completed claims and offered help filling out the forms.

One Fund Boston administrator Kenneth Feinberg is urging Boston Marathon bombing victims to get claims in before the June 15 deadine.

“You would be amazed at how people in grief, with all sorts of uncertainty about their lives, don’t file. File at the last minute. File claim forms written in crayon,” Feinberg told the Boston Herald.

Funds are scheduled to start being distributed on June 30, with the three families who lost a loved one to receive around $1 million.

Downloadable claim forms are available through the One Fund Boston website. Victims can read and download a Frequently Asked Questions section about One Fund Boston for filing claims.
