In some instances, Federal law requires sureties to publicly advertise for receipt of claims for a period of 60 days following publication by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ("FMCSA") of cancellation of a bond of brokers registered under Chapter 139 that experience financial failure or insolvency pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Sect. 13906(b)(6). For claims to be considered under a BMC-84 bond under this statutory section, a bond claim notice must be received by Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company within 60 days following the date of FMCSA's publication of the notice of bond cancellation. Claims received after the 60 day period will not be accepted. A listing of bonds cancelled in accordance with 49 U.S.C. Sect. 13906(b)(6) can be found by clicking button below.
