Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- Missing the opt-out deadline means you waive the right to pursue independent legal action related to these claims
- If you did not receive a notice and do not contact the administrator, you may be missed even if you are eligible
- Payment will not be issued until after final court approval and any appeals are resolved — timing is not guaranteed
- The net settlement fund is the total fund minus attorneys' fees, litigation costs, the service award, and administration expenses, so individual payments will be less than the gross fund amount
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.
