Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The deadline is July 15, 2026 — missing it means no payment, even if you qualify.
- The Final Approval Hearing was June 15, 2026; if the court hasn't approved the deal yet when you file, payment could be delayed — but file anyway before the deadline.
- Only use the official site (alabamafeesettlement.com) or the official form link; do not trust look-alike sites or unsolicited emails claiming to help you file.
- Filing does not guarantee payment — the administrator will verify eligibility against State Farm's records.
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.
