Oconee Regional Health Systems’ Joint Plan of Liquidation became effective on April 9, 2018, moving the case from confirmation into plan administration and liquidation trust execution. The Liquidating Trustee, Clifford Zucker, filed the effective-date notice stating that the plan confirmed on March 23, 2018 was now operative.
The notice also starts a May 9, 2018 deadline for professional fee applications, administrative expense requests, and rejection damages claims. Missing that date means the claim or fee request is forever barred from distributions under the plan or from assertion against the debtors, estates, or Liquidating Trustee. For professionals and claimholders, the immediate issue is not just that the plan is effective; it is that the post-confirmation claims cleanup clock is now running.
