- If you are represented by an attorney, direct all inquiries to your attorney. Do not create a portal account, as this will not link to your existing claim.
- If you submitted a claim before March 26, 2024, you will receive a notification when your claim has been uploaded to the portal either via email, if an email address was provided, or via the U.S. Postal Service — no action is required for you to create a claim in the portal.
- If you have not previously submitted a claim and would like to do so, please visit the Claims Management Portal to create an account and begin your claim submission.
- If you submitted a claim directly via email, or through the US Postal Service or another delivery carrier, and provided an email address in your claim form, you will receive an email with login information for the portal once your claim information has been migrated into the portal. This email will come from NoReply-OJAGCampLejeune@navyjag.onmicrosoft.us. Thank you for your continued patience as we migrate, review, and process Camp Lejeune Justice Act claims.
- If you did not provide an email address on your original claim form, you will receive a letter via the US Postal Service (at the mailing address provided in your claim form) with instructions on how to set up an account.
