How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks

- — The PIN printed on the settlement notice mailed to you. (Your settlement notice letter received by mail.)
- — Choose between digital payment or a paper check mailed to your address. (Selected during claim submission.)
- — Indicate if you are claiming reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses directly linked to the data breach, up to the documented losses cap. (Your own financial records, receipts, and statements.)
- — Indicate if you prefer the alternative pro rata cash payment instead of the documented losses reimbursement. (Selected on the claim form.)

Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- You must provide the unique ID and PIN from your settlement notice — claims cannot be processed without this information.
- Documented loss reimbursements require supporting documentation; unsupported expenses will not be reimbursed.
- The pro rata alternative cash payment and clinical photograph payment amounts are not fixed — they depend on the total number of claims filed and will be determined by the settlement administrator.
- Filing a documented losses claim and an alternative pro rata cash payment claim are mutually exclusive — choose the path that best suits your situation.
- Payments are issued only after claim processing is complete and the court grants final approval of the 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.
