Roughly two-thirds of currently-open class action settlements accept claims without receipts, purchase records, or documentation of any kind. You attest that you bought the product / used the service / were in the affected group during the class period — and file. That is it.

Right now: 200+ no-proof settlements are open for filing. Cumulative max claim value: $3,500+ per household. See the live directory.

The full list, grouped by type

27 settlements are accepting claims right now with no receipt required, grouped by what kind of case they are. Generated from our live settlement database and re-checked daily; anything closing within a week drops off, so everything here is still filable. Last checked August 11, 2026.

Privacy · 10 settlements

Consumer Products · 4 settlements

Health & Wellness · 4 settlements

Financial · 3 settlements

Technology · 3 settlements

Other · 3 settlements

Payouts shown are the maximum for a single claimant. Most funds are divided pro rata, so what you actually receive depends on how many people file.

Why so many settlements are no-proof now

Twenty years ago, most class action settlements required receipts. Today, the majority accept sworn declarations. Three things drove the shift:

  1. Judges started rejecting settlements with low claim rates. If a settlement fund goes 90% unclaimed because most people cannot find their receipts, the court sees that as a failed remedy. Judges now often require no-proof options.
  2. Administrator costs. Reviewing 500,000 uploaded receipts costs the settlement fund millions. Sworn declarations are basically free to process.
  3. Data breach settlements have normalized it. You cannot prove you were in a database. So every data breach settlement has a no-proof tier by design. Once consumers got used to it, other categories followed.

The catch: capped payouts

No-proof claims almost always have a maximum. For consumer product settlements: usually 1-3 units worth of purchase price. For data breach: $50-100 flat. For privacy tracking: $10-40 typically.

If you have receipts you can file for the higher tier. But if you never keep receipts (most people), the no-proof cap is your fastest path to money.

Categories where no-proof is basically always available

  • Data breach settlements — always.
  • Privacy tracking settlements (Google, Meta, TikTok voice/facial data) — always.
  • Health & wellness product settlements (supplements, vitamins, OTC meds) — usually.
  • Consumer product recalls (waffle recall, toothpaste recall, etc.) — usually.

Where to go next

The list above is the complete set. If you want the mechanics — how the attestation works, what happens after you file, and who actually pays you — see our guide to class action settlements with no proof of purchase. If you are wondering whether any of this is legitimate in the first place, we answer that separately, with examples of what past settlements actually paid. And if something closes soon, the closing-soonest view sorts by deadline instead of category.
