(2) the dates of the employment, taking, or usage;

(3) the person or entity ordering the employment, taking, or usage;

(4) such additional information as the petitioner deems relevant to a full consideration of the claim; and

(5) any additional information that the board may require.

b. The board may establish such forms, documents, and procedures as may be necessary to expedite the processing of claims, and all claimants shall utilize and follow the forms, documents, and procedures, if so established. Subsequent to the filing of an initial petition, the board may request such additional information as it deems necessary from any claimant and may require the claimant, and any other person with knowledge of facts and circumstances relevant to the claim, to appear before the board for a hearing. No petition shall be filed with the board more than 180 days from the last date the services or property were employed, taken or used, except that this deadline may be extended by the board as is necessary to further the purposes of this act.

c. The board's determination concerning a claimant's petition for reimbursement shall be transmitted to the claimant in writing. The claimant may appeal the decision to the Superior Court subject to the Rules of Court regarding the review of State agency actions.
