Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- If you wish to opt out and preserve individual legal claims, that deadline has already passed — do not assume you can still exclude yourself
- The exact payment amount may vary depending on the final number of eligible class members, administration costs, and court-awarded attorney fees
- Appeals after the Final Approval Hearing can delay payment timing — the documents do not specify a fixed payment date
- If your contact information is outdated, update it with the administrator promptly so your payment is not returned
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.
