| 25 | insurance proceeds, if any, will be determined by the person's |
| 26 | insurer within 30 days after notification to the insurer by |
| 27 | means of forwarding the claim, which notification shall occur at |
| 28 | the same time the claimant is notified of this settlement |
| 29 | option, which the claimant can accept or reject. A written |
