How hard is this claim to file?

If State Farm shorted you on purchasing fees (sales tax, ad valorem taxes, or tag/license/school fees) when they totaled your Alabama vehicle between November 7, 2018 and February 10, 2026, you need to submit a claim form by July 15, 2026 to get your $20.50 payment — skipping it means you get nothing even though you're bound by the settlement.

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.

Where to act

You'll need the Claim ID from your notice

The official claim form asks for the Claim ID (or Notice ID) the settlement mailed or emailed to the people it identified. Didn't get one? Here's how to get it:

  1. Check your email (including spam) and any mail from around when the settlement was announced — the Claim ID is usually printed right on the notice.
  2. Still can't find it? Contact the settlement administrator (Kroll Settlement Administration LLC), tell them you believe you're a class member (for example, a customer or patient in the covered period), and ask them to look you up and send your Claim ID.
