Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- Your check goes to the address on file — if you have moved since living in the park, update it through the settlement website before checks are issued.
- The settlement is only preliminarily approved. Final approval comes after the September 2, 2026 fairness hearing; checks will not go out before that.
- Scam risk: the only legitimate site is https://www.chavezsettlement.com/ and the only official email is info@chavezsettlement.com — do not respond to unsolicited contacts asking for personal or financial info to 'process' your payment.
- If you opt out to sue on your own, the exclusion deadline is Aug. 3, 2026 — missing it locks you into this 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.
