Firearm validation for individuals

Validation process

Before your payment is issued, your claim will be validated to ensure that:

• firearms turned in match what was submitted in your claim, including quantities, makes, models and serial numbers (if applicable)
• firearms are "complete" and assembled to be eligible for compensation; and
• all deactivation and shipment (if applicable) records submitted as part of your claim are accurate

Once all validations are complete:

• your claim will be processed for payment. See the compensation process for more information; and
• turned in firearms will be destroyed

Any items turned in to the program that are not included on the list of firearms for individuals will not be returned and will be destroyed without compensation.
