• Live or have lived in the United States.
• Your child (or you, if claiming as a former minor) was under 13 years old at any time between July 1, 2013 and April 1, 2020.
• Your child watched content directed at children on YouTube or YouTube Kids during that period.
• A parent or legal guardian must sign the claim for minors.

No Proof Required

• You do not need to provide YouTube viewing history, purchase receipts, screenshots, or account logs when submitting your claim.
• You must attest under penalty of perjury that your child met the eligibility criteria (under 13 and watched children’s content during the class period).
• No additional proof is required at the time of submission, but the administrator may request clarification or confirmation later.  

With Optional Supporting Info

• While no formal proof is required, you may provide optional information such as the child’s date of birth, younger age confirmation date, or general viewing habits to support your attestation.
• Providing accurate personal info helps the administrator confirm eligibility but is not mandatory at filing.

• Total Settlement Amount: $30,000,000.  
• After attorneys’ fees, administrative costs, taxes, and service awards are deducted, the remaining net fund will be distributed pro-rata among eligible claimants.  
• The per-person payout amount depends on the total number of valid claims. As more claimants file, individual shares may be smaller; fewer valid claims generally increase payment amounts.  
• Payments are typically issued after the final approval and any appeals are resolved.
• Distribution may take several months after final approval.
