Claims Administrator
The third party that processes claims, validates documentation, and distributes settlement funds.
Administration covers notice, claim intake, eligibility review, deficiency correspondence, appeals, lien clearance, and payment. Administrative capacity is the binding constraint on distribution timelines in both class and aggregate settlements — and the analogous constraint on arbitration providers processing thousands of simultaneous mass filings.
