How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- Payment is mailed to your last known address — if you have moved and do not update your address, your check may never reach you.
- The exclusion deadline has already passed (May 15, 2026), so you can no longer opt out of the settlement.
- The final payout amount depends on total deductions for fees, costs, and service awards, so the actual amount you receive may differ from the estimated minimum.
- If the court's final approval hearing (May 28, 2026) was postponed or there are appeals, payment may be delayed — check the settlement website for updates.
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.
