Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- The exclusion and objection deadlines (December 11 and December 18, 2025) have already passed if you are reading this now — you are locked in as a class member unless you opted out before those dates.
- Payments go out after final court approval; there is no separate claim form to file, so you do not need to submit anything to receive your share.
- The settlement administrator is Kroll. If someone contacts you claiming to be the administrator and asks for banking details or a fee, that is a scam — contact Kroll directly using the number above.
- Attorney fees of up to 40% come out of the $4,500,000 fund before distribution, so your per-person share will be less than the gross fund amount.
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.
