Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- If any single member of a household opts out, the entire household is ineligible for payment — coordinate with all co-residents before deciding to opt out.
- Each unique leased unit counts as one household regardless of how many qualifying tenants lived there — only one payment is issued per unit.
- Checks must be cashed within 120 days of issuance; uncashed checks result in the funds being donated rather than paid to you.
- The settlement is only preliminarily approved; final approval requires a court hearing and resolution of any appeals before payments are mailed.
- Payments are mailed to the address on file — failure to update a changed address means your check may not reach 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.
