How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- There is no open claims portal for this settlement — if anyone asks you to fill out a form online or pay a fee to collect, that is a scam.
- The class is capped at 34 identified individuals; if you are not among them, this settlement does not apply to you.
- Payment cannot go out until after the Final Approval Hearing — do not expect funds before that process concludes.
- Attorney fees, a service award to the named plaintiff, and administration costs are paid out of the gross fund separately from individual payments.
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.
