You may submit your Diagnosis Verification Form after you submit your Claim. The deadline is March 14, 2022.

A valid claim requires a Diagnosis Verification Form attesting you meet the criteria for a Qualifying Diagnosis resulting in whole or in part from your work as a Content Moderator for Facebook. The Form must be signed by your qualified medical provider.

If you already have a document from your medical provider showing you received a qualifying diagnosis after you began your employment as a Content Moderator, you may submit that instead of a Diagnosis Verification Form, however, the Claims Administrator may reach out to you for additional documentation if required.

The Diagnosis Verification Form must be filled out by a U.S. licensed medical professional who is qualified to diagnosis patients with the diagnoses listed in the Form. The Form must clearly indicate which of the disorders listed the Class Member qualifies for and be signed and dated by the medical professional.

Your Other Damages narrative should clearly describe the connection between your work as a Content Moderator and the harm you are claiming. Your narrative should clearly, concisely, and thoughtfully provide a description of the damages you are claiming. Please use full sentences and proper punctuation.

Your supporting documents should be clear, readable copies (not originals), as anything submitted will not be returned. Your supporting documentation should support the Other Damages you are claiming. For example, if you are claiming “Past Medical Expenses” please include as supporting documentation any receipts. If providing a scanned copy of a document, please verify that you are able to clearly identify the content of the document prior to submitting. DO NOT SEND VIDEOS OR PICTURES OF THE GRAPHIC OR OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL YOU WERE EXPOSED TO AS A CONTENT MODERATOR. It is not beneficial for your claims determination to include pictures or videos of the content you were exposed to as a Content Moderator.
