About Claim

What is Claim?

Every year, companies agree to class action settlements over issues like data breaches, false advertising and privacy practices. Much of that money is set aside for people who submit a valid claim before a deadline. The hard part is usually finding out a settlement exists, working out whether you may qualify, and getting the form done in time.

Claim is built to make that easier. On claimmoney.com you can browse open settlements, see the key details for each one (who may qualify, the deadline, whether proof is required), and start a claim when one fits you.

Claim is a website. Everything described on this page happens at claimmoney.com.

What does Claim do?

• Helps you discover settlements. Claim lists open class action settlements and explains each one in plain language, including the eligibility rules, the deadline and the proof requirement.
• Helps you see which ones may fit you. Based on the general settlement rules and the answers you give, Claim shows you settlements you may qualify for. The settlement administrator makes the final decision.
• Helps you file. For some settlements, Claim fills in the claim form from your answers and submits it to the settlement administrator in your name, online or by mail. For others, Claim links you to the official claim form so you can file it yourself.

What doesn’t Claim do?

• Claim is not a law firm. It doesn’t give legal advice, doesn’t represent you, and doesn’t contact courts for you.
• Claim doesn’t decide who gets paid. Whether a claim is approved, and how much it pays, is decided by the settlement administrator under the terms the court approved.
• Claim isn’t the administrator, the court or a party to the case.
• Claim doesn’t guarantee a payout. Many settlements pay on a pro-rata basis, so the final amount depends on how many valid claims are filed.

How do settlements get on Claim?

Settlement listings start from public information about court-approved settlements. Claim works to keep listing details accurate, including who may qualify, the claim deadline, the proof requirement and the payout terms with their qualifiers. If a listing differs from the official settlement website, the official website is correct.

Settlements change. Deadlines get extended, payout estimates move, and cases close. Read more on how Claim keeps listings accurate.

Claim also lists settlements to inform, not to make claims about the companies involved. Companies usually settle without admitting wrongdoing, so settlement pages describe what a lawsuit alleges, not what a company did.

Is Claim free?

You can browse settlement information on claimmoney.com without paying. Filing through Claim requires a paid subscription; see the site for current terms. Some features are sold as separate add-ons. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, as described in the Terms of Service.

If your claim is approved, the settlement administrator pays you and decides when and how much. Claim does not handle payouts.

Who is Claim for?

Claim is for consumers who want an organized way to keep track of settlements they may qualify for: people who have heard “there might be a settlement for that” and want to know where to look, what the rules are, and when the deadline is. If you’d rather go straight to the official settlement website for each case, that works too, and Claim’s settlement pages can still help you understand the rules first.

How should I use Claim responsibly?

Claim forms are legal documents. Most are submitted under penalty of perjury, which means you’re confirming that what you say is true. Before you submit anything, read the eligibility rules for that settlement and only claim what applies to you. If a settlement requires proof of purchase, keep it ready. Our guide on how to find proof covers where receipts and records usually hide.

How do I contact Claim?

For questions about your account, a subscription, or a settlement listing, reach the Claim team through the contact page. If you think a listing has an error, tell us there and include the settlement name and what looks wrong. Our privacy policy explains how your information is handled.
