If you entered personal information online, now you can apply for compensation. Learn more at ftc.gov/OnPointBenefits. Don’t wait, the deadline to apply for a refund is October 18, 2022.

I was just wondering, after we filed the claim form, do we need do anything else or will we just wait for the check to be mailed or do you know when I need to be looking out for it to come.

I know many times when I entered DMV to pull up the web page to renew my registration that there were many links that were not always the actual California DMV. Always pay attention to the URL and make sure you are actually at the site you intended. Most DMV will end in .gov

Everything about this claimant and claim is ridiculous if you got the paper in the mail which all they're mentioning on here is the email you get anyways on the paper it says submit your claim by August 31st 2022 if you read and the paragraphs above us it says you had to file one by July 5th 22 completely crazy because the mail came after that it doesn't matter I don't know why I'm wasting anybody's time leaving a comment 99% of what's going on in the world right now is complete chaos and not worth anybody's time if you got duped by this like I I'm very sorry this is one of the more minor things my information has got leaked too or time wasted anyways have a good life

The website www.ftc.gov/OnPointBenefits is a federal government website from the Federal Trade Commission. It tells how to claim money back, if you paid for a driver's license or vehicle registration online and didn't get what you paid for. The deadline to file a claim is October 18, 2022.
