How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- — The unique ID printed on the postcard or email notice you received from the settlement administrator (On the postcard or email notice mailed/emailed to you by the settlement administrator)
- — The PIN printed on the postcard or email notice you received from the settlement administrator (On the postcard or email notice mailed/emailed to you by the settlement administrator)

Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- Other settlement class members do not need to file a claim — they will automatically receive a check to their last known address; taking no action is correct for this group
- If you did not receive a notice or lost yours, you cannot use the online portal and must submit a PDF claim form by mail instead
- If you moved or will move before payments are issued, you must proactively notify the settlement administrator or your check may be sent to an outdated address
- If total valid offset subclass claims exceed the cap, each payment will be reduced proportionally (pro rata)
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.
