Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- Online claims require the unique ID and PIN from your settlement notice — without these you cannot file online.
- Extraordinary loss claims require proof that you exhausted all other available insurance or reimbursement options before claiming from this settlement.
- The settlement is not yet final; payments will only be issued after the court grants final approval.
- You must choose between filing a claim and opting out — opting out preserves your right to sue separately but means you receive nothing from this settlement.
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.
