What is a payment claim under security of payment laws?

General information from Lawmateanz

Each state has security of payment laws so contractors get paid promptly.

If you receive a payment claim, you usually must respond with a payment schedule within strict timeframes, often 10 business days.

If you don't, you may have to pay the full amount.

Disputes can go to adjudication.
