Claiming
Do you need proof of purchase for a class-action claim?
When proof of purchase may be required, what documents can help, and how to check the official claim instructions.
Quick answer
Some claims require supporting documents, while others allow an attestation. The official claim form tells you what is required. Do not submit altered receipts or guess at purchases you cannot support.
Read the claim form carefully
The claim form usually lists any required documents, such as receipts, account statements, invoices, or proof of an out-of-pocket loss.
Use ordinary records
Order histories, bank statements, emails, and account dashboards may be useful when they show the right product, date, or charge.
Do not over-document
Only send what the official instructions ask for. Extra personal information can create risk without improving your claim.

Possibly. It depends on the rules of the settlement and whether the statement shows the detail the claim form requires.
