Information and Claim Form
requires $25 filing fee!
What kind of claims can be filed? Claims can be filed for losses you believe were caused by the action, or
inaction, of any state agency. Claims may include:
•
•
Damage to real or personal property
Refund of a tax, fee, or penalty
•
•
Reimbursement for state employee property
Contract disputes
loss, benefits, salary, or travel expenses
Claims for damages caused by a local government agency must be filed directly with the local agency that is
involved. Do not file your claim with the state. If your claim is with an institution in the University of California
(UC) system, contact the UC Regents directly. Call the Government Claims Program at 1-800-955-0045 to find
out more.
Who can file a claim?
Anyone who believes a state agency caused him or her to suffer monetary loss can file a claim.
What are the time limits for filing a claim?
Claims relating to the death or injury of a person, or damage to personal property or growing crops, must be
filed no later than six months after the date of the incident. Other claims must be filed no later than one year
after the date of the incident. You can request permission to file a late claim. Some claims have no filing
deadline. You may want to consult an attorney if you are not sure how the time limits apply to your claim.
Is your claim against the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)?
If your claim is against Caltrans and the damages are $5,000 or less, you can file your claim directly with
