Money in the fund comes from assessments against licensed contractors, fees on laborers who recover from the Fund, and on certain other lien claimants. It is used to pay the claims of subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers, if the owner or lessee of residential property can demonstrate that he or she paid a general contractor for the contracted services.
