Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The claim deadline is August 16, 2026 — that is before the final approval hearing, so file first, attend nothing.
- If you want to opt out of the settlement or file an objection, that deadline is July 20, 2026 — an earlier, separate cutoff.
- The only official settlement website is duhssettlement.com. Any lookalike site collecting your information is a scam.
- Payment amount varies — it depends on how many valid claims are filed total, so the per-person amount cannot be predicted now.
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.

- 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.
- Still can't find it? Contact the settlement administrator (Epiq), 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.
Not ready to file today? Track it free — we'll remind you 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before Aug 16, 2026, and keep your claim details in one place.
