Where Filing Happens
On the administrator site named in the settlement notice and in the court order granting preliminary approval. That is the only place a claim is validly submitted, and it is free.
What You Usually Need
The purchase period, the products involved, and either loyalty account history or a sworn statement. Most food and beverage settlements accept a statement up to a modest cap without receipts.
What to Avoid
Any site charging a fee to file for you, and any link arriving by unsolicited message. Cross-check the administrator name against the court docket.

Before You Act
Thinking About Filing a Claim?
Most plaintiff lawyers offer a free initial consultation and work on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery. LawsuitWatch is not a law firm: we publish explainers, and we do not provide legal advice, representation or referrals. Your state bar directory is the reliable place to find and verify a lawyer.
