Questions about this settlement

Does it cost anything to receive settlement money?

No. A court-approved settlement administrator does not charge class members a filing or payment-release fee. The court reviews class counsel fees separately.

What records should I keep after filing?

Save a copy of the submitted form, the confirmation page or email, the claim number, and every supporting file you provided. Keep later administrator emails with those records until the payment arrives or the claim receives a final decision.

Can I update my contact information with the administrator?

Usually, yes. Contact Proactio settlement page through its official website and keep the confirmation. Canooq cannot update a claim file or member record for you.
