Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- You must have received a notification letter from Ward — without the class member ID and PIN from that letter, you cannot complete the claim form
- The claim deadline has passed (April 27, 2026); check the settlement website to confirm whether any extension was granted
- If the total amount claimed across all class members exceeds the net settlement fund, cash payments and out-of-pocket loss reimbursements will be reduced proportionally
- Attorneys' fees alone may consume a significant portion of the total settlement fund before class member payments are calculated
