But were you an adult when the breach happened? The paper form says this: "If you were over the age of 18 on May 13, 2017, and wish to file a claim form, visit www.EquifaxBreachSettlement.com. Do not use this claim form."

There are links to two different forms on the File A Claim page [1]: A PDF for adults as of 5/13/2017 [2], and one for minors as of 5/13/2017 [3].

It looks like, if your goals are a balance between receiving the settlement, privacy, and effort, the PDF (probably [2] if no minors were involved) is the way to go.

There's two forms on that website. The first [0] is for everyone. The second [1] is for people who were under 18 at that time.

Thank you! I didn't see the other form!
Here's where I downloaded the claim form https://www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com/file-a-claim

Straight forward.
