BP disaster claims deadline is June 8

The deadline to file a claim for economic loss resulting from the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster is June 8.

Since opening on June 4, 2012, the Court Supervised Settlement Program has paid nearly $5 billion to more than 62,000 Gulf Coast area businesses and residents.

Businesses in Southwest Florida that haven't filed a claim could be eligible for economic loss compensation, even though the oil rig explosion and resulting spill never marred area beaches.
