How to file this claim

If you were a current participant in the Safeway 401(k) Plan when the settlement was approved, payment was made automatically to your Plan account and no action was required. Former participants who had already left the Plan were required to submit a Claim Form to the Settlement Administrator by the filing deadline.

  1. Confirm whether you were a current participant (active account) or a former participant at the time of settlement
  2. If you were a former participant, obtain the Former Participant Claim Form from the settlement website
  3. Complete and submit the Claim Form to the Settlement Administrator, Strategic Claims Services, by the required deadline
  4. Contact Strategic Claims Services by phone at 866-274-4004 or email at terraza401k@strategicclaims.net with any questions

Watch out for

  • Current participants with active Plan accounts receive payment automatically — filing a claim form when you are not required to could cause confusion
  • Former participants must affirmatively file; failing to submit a Claim Form means forfeiting your share of the settlement fund
  • The distribution has already been sent, meaning the claims period is closed — check with the administrator if you believe you missed the deadline

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.
