Roofing company claimed bankruptcy after depositing my payment

Location: North Carolina

Title explains most of it. We had a roofing company come by after a big storm earlier this year and did an assessment. They quoted us $12,000 (roughly) for a full repair. Went through our insurance, received the initial payment to get the ball rolling, and then a month after we had given the check to the roofing company, they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Based on advice from chat GPT, we filed a claim 6 with the NC courts.
Anyone in the NC area knows the big hurricane that just rolled through. We’re waiting on word from our property manager to see how the house is. However, we do not have the funds to replace the roof fully on our own if there’s additional damage. Is there a way to get our money back from the first roofing company sooner rather than later?? Any advice would be appreciated.
