  • the name of the agency or entity whose actions gave rise to the claim or judgment,
  • the plaintiff or claimant,
  • the counsel for the plaintiff or claimant,
  • the amount paid,
  • a description of the facts that gave rise to the claim, and
  • the name of the agency that submitted the claim.
