How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- Confirmation of Naviance login during class period — Check the box or answer yes to confirm you logged into Naviance at least once between August 18, 2021 and January 23, 2026 while you were a student. (Your own memory is the starting point. If you're not sure, old school emails or your former school's records office may help confirm your Naviance account history.)
Watch out for
- The opt-out deadline is July 13, 2026, two weeks before the claim deadline. If you want to keep your right to sue the defendants separately, you have to act by July 13, not July 27.
- Each approved claimant gets a share of the fund. The more people who file, the smaller each individual share.
- Parents and legal guardians can file on behalf of a minor child who used Naviance.
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.
