2 quick questions

Hi,

1. What is the use of claims? I was sure that after La Resistance claimed land switches to core after annexation, but looks like it is not so. Do claims have any use?
2. Tied to number 1: do focuses which give us claims have any value?

Claims make annexing a state cheaper during the Peace Conference and generate less World Tension.

Looks like some abandoned feature...

And I heard somewhere that it affect diplomacy. If you make war with claim then it is good. But war without claim is bad for diplomacy. For example you may start to see powers guarantee your neighbors.

Does "claim" still has any thing to do with the latest DLC's occupation feature?

Yes. Claimed states gain compliance quicker (thus also increasing maximum compliance). It also affects resistance, but I don't exactly remember how - I think it lowers the target by 5% and makes it decay quicker.

Going to war over a claimed state also takes less time. Justifying on a country to take a state can be 200+ days. Justifying to take a claimed state can be as little as 10, depending on circumstances.

After few checks:
1. Claiming land has ABSOLUTELY no impact on compliance. I checked and this is definitely not a case (also wiki supports that). The problem is that compliance is tracked in arbitrary regions (Serbia, Croatia, whole Turkey), whereas claims are province based.
Wiki states that having claim reduces resistance by 5% - but I was not able to verify that.
2. Justifying on claimed land gives you 50% discount on time and PP and some (around 1% ) discount on World Tension. Your mileage might wary, as doing focus to get claims will generate WT, and costs time +PP.

So claims are of limited use, going back to modding.

First of all, claims are not province-based. Claims are state-based. Don't get confused with HOI3.

Second, I don't know what sort of checks you did, but...

It sure looks like claims do something to me.
