How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- No claim form is required — do not pay any third party that claims to help you file for this settlement
- Payments to drivers are being calculated based on Walmart's internal records of what drivers were shown versus what they were actually paid, so discrepancies Walmart did not record may not be captured
- The FTC administers a separate compensatory fund for earnings discrepancies beyond direct Walmart payments; the process for receiving those funds has not been detailed in available documents
- Walmart already issued some payments directly to impacted drivers — if you received a payment, it may have already partially satisfied your claim
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.
