The Claims Commissioner’s Office is offering this search function so that members of the public can see the descriptions of documents filed in pending and closed claims. For example, you will be able to see how long the claim has been pending, whether the State of Connecticut has filed a position statement on the claim; and whether the claim has been scheduled for an evidentiary hearing, and the dates that certain documents have been entered into our claim file, etc.

In the search box, you can type in, for example, the name of the first name/last name of the claimant, or you can type in the claim number (if known).

You will then be directed to a list of one or more claims. You can click on the + (plus sign) in the leftmost column for a certain claim, and then you will then see the list of documents that have been filed in that claim.

IMPORTANT: Please note that you will NOT be able to click on and see the text of a certain document; and you will not be able to download or print a certain document. This is because many of the documents contain personal/sensitive/medical information and should not be disclosed.

Below is an explanation of some of the types of filed documents that you will see listed:

    New Claim: this is the original claim that the claimant filed with the Claims Commissioner’s Office

    Position Statement or Position Statement – Motion to Dismiss: this is the State’s position statement regarding the claimant’s claim against the State.

    Email correspondence: these are emails or letters that the claimant or the State has filed for the claim.

    Oral Argument Letter: this shows that the Claims Commissioner’s Office has scheduled oral argument on a filed Motion.

    Evidentiary Hearing: this shows that the Claims Commissioner’s Office has scheduled an evidentiary hearing on the claim.

    Notice of Jurisdictional Defect: this is the State’s argument that the Claims Commissioner’s Office does not have jurisdiction to hear the claim.

If you are interested in receiving a copy of a certain document or documents in a certain claim; then please email us at claims.commissioner@ct.gov or mail a letter request to us at: The Claims Commissioner’s Office, 450 Columbus Blvd., Suite 203, Hartford, CT 06103. Please do not leave a phone message – we will only be able to respond to written requests.

We will review the requested document(s) to ensure that it does not contain any personal/sensitive/medical information and then we can send you a copy.
