Yes... It is merely a cursory note indicating that your claim has been
received and processed.

I know some for whom it took several extra days to get a response.

I just went to the website and submitted a claim.  I filled out the word
document and made notes on the lines about what I was shopping for when I
went to the website and had difficulty navigating the website.  I'm keeping
this copy as a record of my claim submission.  I then filled out the online
form and submitted it electronically.  After submitting the form, I received
a message that a claims administrator will contact me within 3 business
days.

Has anyone who has submitted a claim been contacted by a claims
administrator yet?
