US Middle District of Florida – Bankruptcy Court Announcement

/in , /by

Pursuant to guidelines imposed by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, effective immediately, a signed IRS Form W-9 must be on file before the release of funds held by the Court. Accordingly, the Court will routinely deny any Motion for Release of Unclaimed Funds filed without a completed W-9 form for the claimant.  Procedures on the Court’s website were updated to reflect this requirement. A link to IRS form W-9 is available on the Court’s website under the Motions for Release of Unclaimed Funds procedures. You may also locate the current IRS form W-9 by clicking here.

Also as a result of this change, viewing of Motions for Unclaimed Funds in CM/ECF will be restricted to protect the Claimant’s social security information contained on the IRS form W-9.

When you kill one American, you attack us all.  This was  the worst act of  terrorism since 911.   We need to support the victims and their families. Our hearts go out to  everyone at Pulse and their loved ones.
