How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- Policyowners with pending or resolved lawsuits against Transamerica regarding the 2022/23 MDR increases, other than this action, cannot participate in the settlement
- The settlement fund breakdown includes attorneys' fees and other deductions before payments reach class members — the remainder after deductions is what gets distributed
- Checks are mailed as paper checks only; there is no electronic payment option described
- If there are multiple owners on a policy, the payment will be divided equally among them
- The court has not yet granted final approval — the settlement is still subject to court approval
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.
