How hard is this claim to file?

This lawsuit has been certified as a class action but no settlement has been reached yet — the court has not ruled on the merits. Class members are automatically included and do not need to file a claim now; the only current action is deciding whether to stay in or opt out.

Watch out for

  • This is a class certification notice, not a settlement notice — there is no claim form or payout to collect right now
  • If you opt out, you will not receive any future class recovery but you keep the right to sue independently
  • If you do nothing, you are bound by the court's ultimate ruling, whether favorable or not
  • The opt-out form must be received — not merely postmarked — by the exclusion 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.
