Sometimes many people have the same problem with a company, product, service, school, or government program.
Someone may start a legal case for the whole group. The case may end with money or other help being set aside for people who were affected. This is called a settlement. Each settlement has its own rules.
To ask for your share, you may need to fill out a free official form before the deadline. This is called making a settlement claim. The official claim office checks your form and decides whether you qualify. You do not need to start the case yourself.
Example
Some Silk and Great Value plant drinks were recalled.
A settlement may let people who bought one of the recalled drinks ask for a refund.
People who became sick may have a different claim for health-related harm.
They did not need to start the lawsuit themselves.
Start with a company or product you know. We checked each claim using official sources.

How it works
One clear step at a time. Each card gets room to be understood before the next one joins it.
Search a company, product, service or claim.
Deadline, proof and next action stay clear.
Keep SettleWorth context beside the administrator's instructions.
SettleWorth suggests possible matches. Official administrators decide eligibility and payouts.
We check administrator pages, official notices, and other reviewed sources when they are available.
A possible match helps you decide what to review. The claim office makes the final decision.
You can search and check possible matches without sharing login or banking details.
We put the closing date, proof requirement, location, and next step together.
A settlement claim is a form you may fill out when a class action has been settled. A class action is one case brought for a group of people with a similar issue. You do not need to start a lawsuit yourself. A claim may ask for money, a refund, a repair, or another kind of help. You usually need to fill out a form before the deadline. SettleWorth helps you find possible claims; the claim office checks the claim.
No. SettleWorth is free to use. If a settlement has an official form, you decide whether to submit through that official process.
Usually not. Sending in a settlement claim normally does not mean you personally start or manage a lawsuit. The claim office handles the claim process.
No. SettleWorth sends you to the official form. You decide whether to submit.
No. A match means your answers look relevant to the information we checked. A match is not an approval. The claim office decides eligibility and payouts.
Some settlements ask for receipts, account records, emails, order confirmations, or other documents. Others may not require proof. The official form tells you what is needed.
Usually your province, a company or product you remember, rough dates, and whether you may have proof. You do not need your SIN, banking login, CRA login, or government ID to browse or match.
