The easy money kind. File based on your sworn declaration; no receipts, no photos, no product packaging.
Right now: 200+ open no-proof settlements. Total maximum claim value: $3,500+ per household.
Class action settlements often cover products or services with tens of millions of consumers. Requiring documentation from every claimant would (a) exclude legitimate victims who threw away receipts and (b) balloon the settlement administrator's workload beyond what the fund can cover. Instead, most consumer-focused settlements let you file a sworn declaration under penalty of perjury: "I bought this product during the class period." That is enough.
The trade-off: the maximum payout is often capped for no-proof claims. Someone who has receipts can usually get a higher amount by submitting them. If you have no records — which is most people — the no-proof cap is your fastest path to money.

Varies wildly. Small no-proof caps ($10-$25) are common for low-cost consumer products. Data breach settlements often allow $50-$100 no-proof plus reimbursement up to $5,000+ with documentation. Health & wellness settlements typically cap no-proof at 3 products worth of purchase price.
Yes. You are signing under penalty of perjury. Filing a false claim is a federal crime (18 U.S.C. § 1001). But in practice, no-proof claims are on the honor system — settlement administrators do not audit them beyond obvious red flags like duplicate addresses filing hundreds of claims.
