6. If the contractor pays you full replacement cost for the damaged item, the contractor has the right to recover that item from you as salvage. The contractor may also be entitled to recover an item as salvage when the Government pays you for a lost or damaged item. Please do not dispose of that item until instructed by the contractor or the Government. Contact the contractor for a firm date for pick-up.
7. Failure to file a claim with the contractor within the first nine (9) months does not prevent you from filing a claim with the Government. However, you would not be entitled to full replacement protection. YOU HAVE TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY TO FILE A CLAIM WITH THE GOVERNMENT.
8. If you have private insurance, you must file with the insurance company within the time required by the insurance company before the military claims office can adjudicate a claim.
