Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
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.
