Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The total settlement is $2.81 million. Your reimbursement is 30–75% of what you actually paid and documented — not a fixed dollar amount everyone receives.
- The rate you get (30% vs. 75%) likely turns on the type and scope of repair. Check the claim form instructions to see which tier fits your situation.
- A free repair may be on the table instead of cash. The settlement website should clarify which option is available to you.
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.
