These are the settlements you can file on an attestation alone: no receipts, no code from a notice, and no requirement that you ever received one. Deadlines start August 24.

One where you can file with nothing but an attestation. No receipts, no bank statements, no photographs, and no administrator-issued code such as a Notice ID, Claim ID, Class Member ID or PIN. The stricter test is whether someone who never received a notice in the mail can still file today. On the ten settlements listed here, they can.
On these ten, yes. On many other settlements, no. A large share of open settlements gate the online claim portal behind a code printed on the notice the administrator mailed or emailed you, and without that code the portal will not let you file at all. That is why a settlement can advertise no documentation required and still be unclaimable for someone who threw the envelope away.
No. It means the paperwork barrier is gone, not the eligibility one. You still have to fall inside the class definition, which is usually a specific date range and often a specific state, product, employer or app. Most rejected claims are rejected because the filer was outside the eligibility window. Every claim is signed under penalty of perjury, so attesting to a purchase you did not make is a false statement, not a loophole.
Because their class is a fixed list of people the company notified, not the general public. Even when a breach settlement asks for no receipts and no code, the administrator validates your claim against that list, so you cannot self-identify into the class the way you can with a product purchase or an app you used. Several open breach settlements do pay flat cash with no documentation, but they belong in a different bucket than a settlement anyone who bought the product can file.
You get nothing from that settlement, and in most cases you are still bound by it — staying in the class and doing nothing releases your claims, so you also give up the right to sue the company over the same conduct. Administrators very rarely accept late claims. The date on the notice is the date.
No. Filing on the official settlement website is always free. If a site asks you to pay a fee to submit a claim, or wants a percentage of your payment, it is not the settlement administrator. Some settlements go further and reject claims filed through third-party claim-filing services outright.
