Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- — Full street address of each residential property you purchased (Your closing documents, deed, or HUD/settlement statement)
- — The date your purchase transaction closed (Closing disclosure, HUD-1 settlement statement, or deed recording date)
- — The total price you paid for the home as shown on your closing documents (Closing disclosure or HUD-1 settlement statement)
- — The total broker/agent commission paid on your transaction (Closing disclosure or HUD-1 settlement statement under seller or buyer costs)
- — The portion of the commission paid specifically to your buyer's agent or broker (Closing disclosure or HUD-1, look for the buyer's agent commission line item)
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- You must file a SEPARATE claim form for each home purchased — one form does not cover multiple properties
- If you do nothing, you forfeit your settlement benefits and lose the right to sue the defendants separately
- To opt out and preserve your right to sue, you must request exclusion before the opt-out deadline, not the claim deadline
- Proof of payment is required — claims without supporting documentation will not be approved
- Payment amounts are pro rata and will not be known until the administrator processes all valid claims
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.
