WhoStepDeadlineRule
Insurer Write back to confirm it received the claim
Payment inside the period also satisfies the rule. The text we read does not say working or calendar days, so the calculator counts calendar days.		 15 days 210 NAC 60 §006.01
Insurer Begin investigating the claim
The count starts when the insurer gets notice of the claim.		 15 days 210 NAC 60 §007
Insurer Say whether it accepts or denies the claim
The period runs from receipt of properly executed proofs of loss. An insurer needing longer must say so inside the 15 days (§008.02), then write every 30 days.		 15 days 210 NAC 60 §008.01

Not legal advice. The insurer carries every clock here; none of them tells you when to file. Check your Nebraska policy for notice and suit periods, because we found no statewide figure. Complaints in Nebraska start with the Nebraska Department of Insurance.
