Step 1: List the brands you've used
The fastest path to settlements you qualify for is to work backwards from your own life. Think about the major companies you've interacted with in the last 4–5 years: phone carriers, banks, streaming services, social apps, big retailers, and any company that's sent you a 'data breach notice' email.
Data breaches and privacy cases are the highest-volume category right now, so any major app or service you've used is worth checking.
Step 2: Match against open settlements
Once you have your list, match each brand against currently open settlements. You can do this manually by searching settlement directories — or instantly with ClaimSensor's calculator, which takes the brands you select and shows the settlements you may qualify for.
For each match, check three things before you file: the eligibility window (the dates you must have used the product), whether proof is required, and the claim deadline.
Tips
- Prioritize 'no-proof' matches — they take minutes to file.
- Sort by deadline and claim the closest ones first.
- A claim takes ~5 minutes; doing a batch in one sitting is most efficient.
Step 3: File on the official site and track it
Every settlement is paid by an official administrator. ClaimSensor links you straight to that official claim form — we never collect your claim on your behalf.
After filing, save your confirmation number and note the expected payout timeline. Settlements often take several months to a year to pay out, so set a reminder rather than waiting and forgetting. ClaimSensor can email you deadline and status reminders so nothing slips.
