(a) This section applies:
(1) to claims against the balance of the fund; and
(2) in cases in which a student or an enrollee of a postsecondary
proprietary educational institution is protected by both a surety
bond and the balance of the fund, only after a claim against the
surety bond exceeds the amount of the surety bond.
(b) A student or an enrollee of a postsecondary proprietary
educational institution who believes that the student or enrollee has
suffered loss or damage resulting from any of the occurrences
described in section 15(c) of this chapter may request the department
to file a claim with the department against the balance of the fund. If
there is a surety bond in an amount sufficient to cover a claim or part
of a claim under this section, a claim against the balance of the fund
must be construed to be a claim against the surety bond first to the
extent that the amount of the surety bond exists and the balance of the
claim may be filed against the balance of the fund.
(c) A claim under this section is limited to a refund of the claimant's
applicable tuition and fees.
(d) All claims must be filed not later than five (5) years after the
occurrence that results in the loss or damage to the claimant.
(e) Upon the filing of a claim under this section, the department
shall review the records submitted by the appropriate postsecondary
proprietary educational institution described under section 22 of this
chapter and shall investigate the claim and attempt to resolve the claim
as described in section 34(d) of this chapter.
(f) Upon a determination by the department that a claimant shall be
reimbursed under the fund, the department shall prioritize the
reimbursements under the following guidelines:
(1) A student's educational loan balances.
(2) Federal grant repayment obligations of the student.
(3) Other expenses paid directly by the student.
