“If you were harmed by Amtrak’s lack of accessible transportation services between July 27, 2013 and December 2, 2020 you may be eligible to receive payment from a compensation fund established by Amtrak.
“To be eligible for consideration for possible payment, you must submit a claim by May 29, 2021. You may obtain information on how to submit a claim in several ways:
(1) by submitting a claim form online,
(2) by sending an email with your name, address, and telephone number to info@AmtrakDisabilitySettlement.com, or
(3) by calling the Fund Administrator at (888) 334-6165 or TTY: (866) 411-6976.”
