However, claims for unreimbursed expenses cannot be duplicative.

If you are filing claims on behalf of a third-party client or have a substantial amount of vehicles, please do not complete this form.

One of our processing agents will respond and be in contact with you.

Capitalized terms in the Form have the same meaning as provided in the Settlement Agreements (Ford Settlement Agreement, Volkswagen Settlement Agreement).

The Long Form Notices ( Ford Long-Form Notice, Volkswagen Long-Form Notice), also explain key terms of the Settlement, including the definition of Effective Date.

Please provide all required information (as indicated by*) to complete and submit the Registration/Claim Form, attach supporting documentation, and sign/certify the form.
