Please follow the instructions below to submit a claim for the AFFF Products Liability Litigation Settlement Program. A completed copy of this Claims Form must be submitted no later than the Claims Form Deadline. Late Claims Forms will not be considered. TO RECEIVE BENEFITS FROM THIS SETTLEMENT, YOU MUST PROVIDE ALL OF THE REQUIRED (*) INFORMATION BELOW AND YOU MUST SIGN THIS CLAIMS FORM. THIS CLAIMS FORM SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF A CLAIM IS BEING MAILED IN AND IS NOT BEING FILED ONLINE. YOU MAY ALSO FILE YOUR CLAIM ONLINE AT www.PFASWaterSettlement.com. For the Claims Form to be valid, Claimants must provide ALL information requested concerning the Public Water System (PWS) and its groundwater wells and/or surface water systems ("Water Source"). Baseline Testing: If a Water Source was tested only prior to January 1, 2019, and its test results do not show a Measurable Concentration (any level) of PFAS, that Water Source must be retested to meet Baseline Testing requirements. If a Water Source was tested on January 1, 2019, or later, and its test results do not show a Measurable Concentration of PFAS, no further testing of that Water Source is required. Test results may be submitted from untreated (raw) or treated (finished) water samples. However, all samples must be drawn from a Water Source that has been used to provide Drinking Water. A PWS that does not timely return a completed Claims Form forfeits any right to participate in this settlement. For any questions about this Claims Form, you may contact at .
