Branford Manor
If you rented at Branford Manor between November 23, 2019 and November 22, 2022, this settlement was for you. The filing deadline passed on December 15, 2025, and base payments were already sent out on December 23, 2024 to those who submitted valid claims.
Base Payments of $2,000 to $6,000 for adults and $1,000 to $3,000 for minors, by years of residency
Base payments ranged from $1,000 to $6,000 depending on how long you lived there and whether you were an adult or a minor. Adults with three full years got $6,000; two to three years got $4,000; under two years got $2,000. Minors got $3,000, $2,000, or $1,000 on the same scale. Tenants who suffered serious illness, injury, or property damage could also file for Enhanced Payments from a separate pool of nearly $4 million, with amounts set by a panel of court-appointed Special Masters.

What the form asks
- Claim Form #1 — Base Payment Claim — Your personal information and your residency at Branford Manor during November 23, 2019 to November 22, 2022. The landlord's rental records were the basis for calculating your years of residency. (Related Management Companies held the authorized tenancy records used to determine residency length — you didn't need to provide these separately.)
- Claim Form #2 — Enhanced Payment Claim (optional, per family member claiming injuries) — A separate form for each family member claiming serious illness, injury, or property damage at Branford Manor between November 23, 2019 and November 22, 2022. (Your own medical records or documentation of property damage from that period.)
Documents you'll need
- Proof of authorized residency at Branford Manor during the Class Period (required)
- Probate Court appointment documentation (for claims on behalf of deceased or incompetent Class Members)
Watch out for
- The December 15, 2025 deadline has passed. Late claims are almost certainly not accepted.
- Payments to kids under 18 may go through Probate Court supervision.
- If you received public benefits or were incarcerated, you may owe liens out of your payment.
- Enhanced Payments weren't guaranteed. A panel of three Special Masters reviewed each claim and set the amount based on severity — with a pool shared across all qualifying claimants.
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.
