Miller Act Claims

Provider: Mason Contractors Association of America
Discipline: Ethics & Business Practices
Credits: 1.00

To the contractor, the most important aspect of any construction project is ensuring they are paid. On private projects, state statutes provide contractors the right to file a mechanics’ and materialmen’s lien against the property, serving as security for any amounts the contractor is owed. On government projects, however, contractors rarely have a right to file a lien against the project.

Nevertheless, the Miller Act requires general contractors to post a payment bond on projects owned or financed by the United States. Certain subcontractors and material suppliers may file a claim against the payment bond to receive payment for any amounts that are not paid by the general contractor. This webinar will identify which parties may file a claim and outline the steps that must be followed in order to preserve and file a valid claim against a Miller Act payment bond.
