• No receipt needed

  The claim form does not ask for a receipt or other proof of purchase. You still confirm the facts under penalty of perjury, so file only if the class definition fits you.

• Receipt pays more

  You can file without a receipt, but the payout text shows a higher amount if you have one (for example, more units counted). The settlement page says how much each way.

• Receipt required

  The claim form asks for a receipt or other proof of purchase, at least for some payment options.

• Account info needed

  The claim form asks for details from an account, such as a login, a player ID, an account number or the email tied to the account. Find them before you start.

• Papers needed

  The claim form asks for papers that back up your claim, such as a closing statement from a home purchase or bank statements showing a loss.

• ID check needed

  The administrator asks you to confirm who you are before the claim is accepted.

• Mail-in only

  There is no online form. You print the claim form and mail it.

Needs the code from your notice

Some claim forms ask for the code printed on the notice you got by mail or email: a notice ID, a claimant ID, a class member ID or a PIN. We add this line when the official form or FAQ names that code as something you need. When the form says it is needed only if you have one, we leave the line off.

No notice, or lost it?

• Go to the official site on the settlement page and look for a “find my ID” or contact page. Administrators can often resend it.
• Some forms let you file without the code by answering more questions. The official form says whether yours does.
• Never pay anyone for a notice code. It is free from the administrator.

Quick claim, some paperwork, takes work

Open claims carry one of three effort labels. The rule is published so you can check it:

• Quick claimThe form is online, does not ask for a receipt or the code from your notice, and takes about 6 minutes or less.
• Some paperworkThe form asks for a receipt, account info or the code from your notice.
• Takes workThe form asks for papers such as statements, is paper only, or takes more than 15 minutes.

When we know too little about a form, there is no label, only the minutes when we have them.

'Quick claim' describes the claim form only. It does not mean you qualify or say how much you will get.

Words you will see

Notices and official sites use legal words. Here is what they mean in plain English.

Administrator

The company the court approves to run the settlement: it sends the notices, runs the official website, takes the claims and sends the payments. It works for the settlement, not for you or for the company being sued.

Pro rata

A share of the fund, split among everyone who files a valid claim. The more people file, the smaller each share, so the amount is not known until the claims are counted.

Final approval

The judge’s decision that the settlement is fair, made at the final approval hearing. Payments can start only after final approval and after any appeals are over.

Class member

A person who fits the class definition, the court’s description of who the settlement covers. The definition decides who is included, not this site.

Claim deadline

The last day to file a claim. Check the official site for the time of day and whether a mailed claim must be postmarked or received by then.

Notice ID

The code printed on the notice you got by mail or email (it can also be called a claimant ID, class member ID or PIN). Some claim forms ask for it; the administrator can resend it for free.

How we order the list

Find your settlement shows open claims, ending soonest first, grouped by week. Three other orders are one tap away:

• Ending soonest. Soonest deadline first, grouped by week. Claims with no deadline come last.
• Quick claims first. Quick claims first, then some paperwork, then the rest. Soonest deadline first within each.
• Highest typical payout. Largest typical payout first. Amounts not known yet come last.
• Newest. Newest on this site first.

“Typical payout” is what most people get without paperwork, taken from the notice’s own words: an estimate, a fixed amount, or the amount per item. The most anyone can get, often with receipts for losses, is shown smaller under it and is never used to rank. A share of a fund with no estimate counts as “Amount not known yet” and comes last.

Quick claims are ranked by the effort rule on What the labels mean. 'Quick claim' describes the claim form only. It does not mean you qualify or say how much you will get. No company pays to be listed or ranked.

These labels are guidance only. Only the court’s definition decides who is included, and the official claim form decides what you need.
