What you need. Proof requirements aren't specified in the public details — visit the official claims site to see exactly what documentation, if any, you'll need to submit.

How hard is this claim to file?

If you worked for Rancho Del Mar, Inc. under an H-2A visa contract in 2015, 2016, 2017, or 2018, you're likely already identified as a class member — but you'll want to visit the claim page to confirm your payment and verify your information is current.

Watch out for

  • Payments come in three installments, not one lump sum — don't assume you've received everything after the first check.
  • H-2A visa workers may be entitled to additional flat amounts ($800 for unreimbursed travel and $650 for alleged job-fee bribes) on top of the workweek-based payment, but you must have worked at least four weeks to qualify for the bribe reimbursement amount.
  • The settlement website is primarily in Spanish — if you need English materials, contact the settlement administrator directly.
  • If you worked for both Rancho Del Mar and C.J.J. Farming in the same season, your weekly share is multiplied — confirm the details on your individual allocation notice.
  • No claim deadline is shown in the captured documents — check litigiordm.com for current dates before assuming there's no action needed.

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.
