Filing a claim with the Kaiser Aluminum trust: what to do
- Get a written diagnosis from a doctor, and include the exam or pathology report behind it.
- Collect documents showing the person worked with or around company products, like employment, construction, or sales records.
- For the Kaiser Aluminum trust, Verus LLC handles claims; a law firm files most of them online. Attach those records when filing the claim on the trust's own form.
- File at the same time with each other trust in the work history, as no single trust pays the full amount.
