SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM FOR A PAYMENT |
Deadline: September 7, 2020 |
By submitting a valid and timely Claim Form, Settlement Class Members will receive a payment from the Settlement Fund. The value of each payment cannot be determined at this point and will depend upon a number of factors, including the total number of valid claims submitted. Class Counsel's best estimate is that each claim will exceed $100. |
