The Jewelers Board of Trade no longer requires members to directly notify debtors of a claim placed with JBT, via a notice-for-payment form. Instead, a claim-submission form will be sent to JBT, which will directly inform the debtor that the claim has been placed and that payment should be made.

In addition, members that place a claim with JBT now have direct access to claim status through the JBT Web site, jewelersboard.com.
