  4. IAM Governing Members’ Meeting IAM Receivable Protection Program (RPP) • How does the RPP work? • IAM insures the commercial invoices of all IAM members. • If an IAM member goes out of business, a claim can be submitted for compensation. • If all conditions are met, the claimant will receive reimbursement. • At current participation levels, IAM can pay up to $4,000 USD per claim. • If more members sign up, we can increase the amount of money that we pay out per claim. • Have You Heard of the Invoice Dispute Resolution Process though?

  5. IAM Governing Members’ Meeting Invoice Dispute Resolution Process • Use IAM to Recover Money! • IAM will intervene on outstanding invoice(s) whether they are Commercial or Military. • This includes US Department of Defense work. • Members who participate in the RPP can request IAM intervention on any outstanding invoices provided they are at least 90 days old. • If a company does not pay, they are placed on the IAM Alleged Debtor List • Alleged Debtor List is only available to RPP Participating Companies and is distributed monthly. antoinettec@jlbshipping.com
