Introducing PANEEM – Digital Certification Tool

The Claims Conference is introducing an online tool for digital certification, called PANEEM. This tool is designed to make the process of identity verification easier and faster for all of our claimants. Please only use PANEEM if you received a letter or email requesting that you verify your identity through PANEEM.

Visit the PANEEM site at https://paneem.claimscon.org; or search for PANEEM on the application store (iOS and Android).

For questions about PANEEM, please view the Frequently Asked Questions.
