Moved recently? The administrator can look you up by name and old address and reissue a PIN — file with your current address and attach receipts from the class period. No PIN?

06Before you file
- Only file where you genuinely qualify. Every claim is signed under penalty of perjury.
- "No proof needed" still means a sworn statement. Nothing to upload, but the statement itself is the legal attestation.
- Amounts are total settlement funds — what a court set aside — never per-person payout promises. Individual payments are usually pro-rated and smaller.
- When will I get paid? Each settlement pays on its own schedule after the filing window closes and claims are reviewed. Check the official settlement site for timing.
