§ 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.
