# Claim and Payout

Claims can be submitted on-chain, and pool managers will be notified. To conduct a payout, the pool manager must submit a proposal that includes the payment amount and default policy, as well as the payment amount's receiving address.

The proposal will be verified and voted on by the committee members after it is submitted by the pool manager. If the proposal is accepted, the payment amount will be deducted from the collateral and transmitted to the receiving address automatically. If the proposal is denied, there will be no reduction from the collateral.
