How Do I File a Claim in the CRT Class Action Settlement?
If you did not file a class action claim form in the previous $576 Million collection of settlements, or you need to make a new claim for states that were not included, you can file a claim form below by June 13, 2023 to qualify.
How Much Can I Get Paid?
A minimum payment of $10 will be made to all valid claimaints who file on time.The maximum payment that will be distributed is capped at 3 times the estimated damages done to each person in this settlement. Please note that these plans for distribution of money is subject to changes the court, judge, and any appeals processes result in.
Payments will be made to qualified class action members who file a legitimate claim form on time. These payments will be determined on a “pro-rata” schedule, meaning the amount that each person gets paid will be determined by the total amount of valid claims filed and the types of CRT monitors or TVs to be reimbursed. Since the different types of CRT TVs and monitors get paid differently, based on their sizes (size of screen) and other factors, the final payment amount can vary. Until all claims have been filed and checked, it is impossible to know how much money will actually be paid to each person that files a valid claim form in the CRT settlement.
