Gulf oil spill fund gets flood of last-minute claims
None
The administrator of a $20 billion fund set up to pay for damages from the Gulf oil spill said Wednesday he received a flood of last-minute emergency claims before a key deadline ended.
Kenneth Feinberg said about 450,000 emergency claims were filed by Tuesday's deadline. Of those, about 30,000 were filed Monday or later. "That is about four times what I thought there would be," he said. (AP)
