What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. Lost time pays $20 per hour for up to four hours, and you must briefly describe how you spent that time and attest to it, so $80 is a cap rather than a guaranteed amount. Separate reimbursement of documented out-of-pocket losses up to $400, or identity theft or fraud losses up to $4,000, requires supporting documents, and two years of credit monitoring is also available.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Simpluris is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and keep track of settlement deadlines.
