Holders of gift cards purchased from the former retailer RadioShack can now file claims seeking to recover the unused balance on their cards, the state Office of Consumer Protection announced Thursday.

These consumers can visit www.oldradioshackgiftcards.com to read about the claims process and obtain a claim form that can be submitted electronically or by mail.

The claims process is part of a settlement agreement approved in the U.S. Bankruptcy court in Wilmington, Delaware, and supported by 24 states, including Hawaii, and the District of Columbia.

All claims will be reviewed according to the court approved plan and settlement, which established the RSH Liquidating Trust and authorized it to review and approve claims in accordance with the court’s orders.

Under the Court’s order, the trust will treat as a priority claim and pay 100 percent of the balance on the cards to consumers holding gift cards that were purchased from RadioShack, the RadioShack website or any of its authorized sellers.

The deadline for filing claims is Dec. 2, 2016.
