First Step: Paperwork
The filing process requires two types of bureaucratic paperwork. The first step is
quick, easy, and doesn't commit you to step two. The second set of paperwork comes
several weeks after the first. It's a bit more cumbersome, mainly due to small claims
court requesting so many copies.
The window is closed to submit the first step. Please check back here, or get on our email list, to find out when the next round will begin.
YOU ARE UNDER NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO USE THESE PROVIDED FORMS. YOU MAY DOWNLOAD YOUR OWN San Francisco Administrative Claim form AND COMPLETE IT AS YOU WISH.
Filing jointly? Check here.
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FILE TWO CLAIMS IN A CALENDAR YEAR
FOR UP TO $10,000 EACH CLAIM.
First Step -
No-cost Filing with San Francisco.
The window is closed to submit the first step. Please check back here, or get on our email list, to find out when the next round will begin.
Needed: 2 stamped envelopes and a printer
Please use this check off list.
1) Print one copy of the PDF form on the right.
Fill it out and make 2 copies. Mail the 2 copies to the
San Francisco address that's on the form.
Include a self-addressed stamped envelope! You'll get
one of those two copies mailed back to you, time-stamped.
2) If you haven't received your time-stamped form back within a week or two, perhaps you
didn't include 2 copies of the form or a self addressed stamped envelope. You'll need to file
again.
3) A month or so after you receive the processed SF form (as seen above), you'll receive a
2- page letter from San Francisco (as seen to the right).
It's a required form letter that we all get.
Please note the date the letter was mailed. You must
file a claim within 6 months of that date.
Make THREE copies of both pages of the letter.
4) Second Step: File in Redwood City on or about September 1, 2020. Filing as a group allows the small claims court to better schedule us. Click to go to Step Two.
