How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- Consent to Join — Sleeper Berth Only Collective — Your personal details and your consent to join the collective, entered through the Claim Form. (The Claim Form login is at https://www.crstsettlement.com/montoya-v-crst-consent-form-login/)
Watch out for
- The filing deadline was September 27, 2024. Miss it and you lose your right to any payment from this settlement.
- Half your payment counts as wages. Taxes will be withheld on that half and you'll get a W-2. The other half covers interest, penalties, and liquidated damages and comes with a 1099 instead. Talk to a tax advisor if you're not sure what that means for your situation.
- If you previously opted into the Federal Wage Claims Collective, the sleeper berth release applies to you even if you never submitted a Claim Form this time around.
- Unclaimed money doesn't go back to CRST. It gets redistributed to everyone who did file.
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.
