Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- — The unique ID printed on the settlement notice mailed to you (Your physical settlement notice letter)
- — The PIN printed on the settlement notice mailed to you (Your physical settlement notice letter)
- — Select either the documented-losses cash payment or the flat no-documentation cash payment (Your own decision based on whether you have supporting documentation)
- — Choose one: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, virtual prepaid card, or paper check (Select during the claim filing process)
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- All cash payments are subject to pro rata reduction if the total claims filed exceed the aggregate settlement fund cap
- Mailed claims must be postmarked by the claim deadline; online submissions must also be completed by that same deadline
- You cannot receive both the documented-losses payment and the flat no-documentation cash payment — choose one
- You must use the unique ID and PIN from your notice to file online; without them you may need to use the mail-in form
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.
