Create New Claim

Step-by-Step Instructions

Notes: This training PowerPoint presentation was created in the fall of 2019. The content of each slide is subject to change over time; therefore, when you are in LGIS, some of the screens may look slightly different, but the functions remain the same unless otherwise noted.

For optimum viewing and functionality of LGIS use Google Chrome

1. On the main project screen, click on the New Claim button.

Note: Claims do not have to be completed and submitted in one session; you may save the claim and log out.

Note: If you attempt to create a new Claim without the mandatory contact information, you will receive an error message with instructions to complete the Claim Contact information details.

The project’s Contacts section is where you will enter and edit contact information for Claims, Budget Forecast Reports (BFRs) and Periodic Progress Reports (PPRs). Multiple people can be given access to projects in LGIS (through BCeID), however only one claim contact person is recorded.

      A. On the main project screen, click on the Contacts header bar to expand the section.
      B. Click on Edit.
      C. Complete the Claim Contact information then click Save. You are now ready to complete the claim.
