How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- The only official settlement website is www.EqualPaySettlement.com — do not respond to unsolicited emails or texts claiming to be from this settlement.
- If you opted out during the notice period, you will receive no payment and cannot reverse that decision now that the court has granted final approval.
- Payment amounts are calculated from HPE's payroll records; if those records are incomplete or wrong for your tenure, use the Enhancement Request process — do not assume the estimate in the notice is final.
- Taxes are withheld before you receive the payment, so your take-home will be less than the gross figure shown in your personal notice.
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.
