What if filing for free money took less time than ordering a pizza?
Most people assume class action settlements require mountains of paperwork, receipts you definitely don't have, and a lawyer on retainer. For some cases, that's true. But a surprisingly large number of open settlements right now require absolutely nothing except your name and email address — and they're closing fast.
We went through every settlement currently open on SettlementRadar and found the 10 with the lowest barrier to entry and real money on the table. All of these require no proof of purchase, no documentation, and take under 5 minutes to file. Some are closing in days.
What Makes a Settlement "Easy"?
Not all class action claims are created equal. The easiest ones share a few traits:
- No proof required — You self-certify that you were a customer, patient, or affected party. The company isn't going to audit you.
- Short claim form — Name, email, maybe your address. That's it.
- No documentation upload — Some settlements ask you to upload receipts or medical records. The easiest ones skip this entirely.
- No attorney consultation needed — You file directly, no middleman.
With that in mind, here are the 10 easiest settlements open right now.

Pro Tips for Filing Faster
If you're going to file multiple claims — and you should — here are a few shortcuts:
- Use your browser's autofill. Your name, email, and address will fill in automatically on every form. The whole process becomes 60 seconds per claim.
- Use the same email for everything. All your checks or Venmo payments will come to one place. Easy to track.
- File today, not tomorrow. Several of these deadlines are in the next few days. Once the deadline passes, there's no extension.
- Check if you got a notice letter. For data breach settlements, a notice letter proves you're in the class. Dig through your email inbox for anything from a claims administrator.
- Don't overthink the questions. "Did you use this service?" If yes, file. You're not swearing under oath that your losses were exactly $50.32.
