How do I know if I qualify for a settlement?
You’ve probably seen news articles featuring information about a class action settlement involving products you’ve purchased or services you’ve used and wonder if you might qualify for benefits. How can you find out if you’re eligible?
In some cases, the settlement administrator will send a notice of a settlement directly to you by mail or email. If you receive a notice, you’re almost definitely eligible for benefits. Make sure you read through the notice to make sure you fit the definition of a class member before you file a claim.
If you don’t receive notice of a settlement, it does not mean you don’t qualify.
In some cases it is impractical (or impossible) to directly notify class members a class action lawsuit has been settled. To make sure potential class members learn about the settlement, the administrator will post the notice in newspapers, magazines or online.
When you read the notice, pay particular attention to the definition of a class member.
Generally, there will be a certain time span during which you must have been affected by the product or issue in order to qualify. Sometimes the settlement will only apply to people living in certain states. These are the types of information you want to look for. Read the definition carefully to make sure you qualify.
Some settlements require class members to submit proof of purchase or other documentation in order to receive benefits, as well.
If you have any questions about whether you qualify, you can contact the settlement administrator for clarification. Their contact information will be on the notice.
It’s important to remember the settlement administrator will generally have the final say about whether you will get benefits after you submit a claim form. If you didn’t fully complete the claim form, failed to submit required documentation or missed the filing deadline, your claim will be rejected, even if you qualified as a class member.

How Do I Submit a Claim for a Class Action Settlement?
53 thoughts onHow Do I Know If I Qualify for a Settlement?
I was told last year that I would have money owed to me from a class action settlement that I qualified for many years. I paid full price from 2007-2024/5. The medicine I was charged full price for even though I had insurance coverage was ambient, and at other times I paid full price for my birth control pill, and adder all. Roughly my count for all those years and months scrips would have been in the $5,000 range. I remember getting an immediate response and filling out the lawyers formal form and I submitted it. I had case code but unfortunately I cannot find that in my email. I would very much like to know if I qualify for the money I had no idea for reasons that are behind me that my trust pharmacy would be the ones who repeated to take money many times a month when paychecks started dwindling to know fault of my own and I continued to raise questions each time my ambient *Dr. prescribed me 2 ’20 mg pills per night which the insurance said they would pay have and I told countless store clerks to which they insisted they could not do that and I would have to pay the entire $80 or more for the monthly script while also dealing with years of humiliation as one this was constant and it was your staff treating me like I was less than them for many of my scripts that at that time in my life, young and confused, made me fall into utter shame for myself and as I grew and became more educated on how dire my meds were and learning f your that sadly some people are ignorant to our every day struggles to simply have a shot at a healthy life but the staff and I do mean all of them from all those years treated me unprofessionally and I was less than them. It still bothers me so much I haven’t returned to that walkgreens pharmacy that I had so enjoyed but how truly disrespectful the pharmacy talked to me will forever remain a vivid memory of how this associate or as she claimed she was a DR. had no such credentials and my good family friends and current doctor supported me greatly and said no person should have to be spoken to like that.
