How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- The FTC never requires people to pay money or provide account information to get a refund — anyone asking you to do that is running a scam.
- PayPal payments expire after 30 days and checks expire after 90 days (as indicated on the check), so act quickly once payment arrives.
- Only reach out through the official FTC page (ftc.gov/enforcement/refunds/advocare-refunds) or the refund administrator phone number — do not respond to unsolicited contacts claiming to be from this program.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
