How are subsistence losses calculated by the GCCF?
Subsistence claims are processed by specialized teams working out of the local site offices in each of the states. These teams employ field interviews and verifications and refer to available consumption studies when evaluating claims. The measure of the loss is generally based on average 2010 pre-spill retail and/or wholesale values for the lost catch. Lost catch used for Personal/Family Consumption is valued at average pre-Spill 2010 retail values. Lost catch used for Bartering/Community Distribution is valued at average pre-Spill 2010 wholesale values.
