However, any further time granted shall not extend beyond December 31 of the year following the year in which the claim was required to be filed. Claims filed as a result of this subsection shall be filed with the director of health and human services or the director of revenue, as applicable, who shall provide for the reimbursement of the claim to the claimant.
