Serials claiming - is there a claim cycle?

[Cindy Reid <creid at socialaw dot com>]

Hello,

I have a question about claiming late serials.  Is there a certain 
amount of time that has to pass between Claim 1 and Claim 2 (similar to 
the claim cycles in acquisitions - manual Page # 103037) or are they 
counted by frequency of claims? (for example if we run serials claims 
every six weeks, the Claim number is incremented by running serials 
claims.)  It has been noted that if claiming is run on concurrent days 
(if there was a problem with the results of the first day) the same 
titles are not claimed on the second day (if that makes any sense) so we 
are trying to figure out if there is a certain minimum amount of time 
that passes between each claim.

Thanks!
