§ 315. Claims procedures. Claims shall be subject to the administrative procedures prescribed for claims filed with the chairman for disability benefits payable under section two hundred seven.

The chairman may require a claimant under this article to file the same proofs required under other articles of this chapter or other proofs for determination of rights under this article, and may require the employer or any former employer of the claimant and the local director to file reports and to furnish such information as may be reasonably necessary for such determination. If any such report or information is not filed or furnished, the chairman may make determination on the basis of available information, including the claimant's statement.
