What proof means here: For documented losses, you need to send proof, like bank statements or receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. For lost time beyond the first four hours, you must send proof, such as billing or bank statements, emails, letters, to show that you spent the time addressing tax-related issues caused by the Data Incident.
These are the amounts the settlement publishes. Shares of a fund depend on how many people file: what pro rata means.
