Payout released
You’re almost there. The claim just has to be verified in your name.
Claim cleared on air, so it goes forward to the payout queue. There is one thing standing between you and that queue, and I want to be straight with you about what it is.
Every claim this fund releases is verified against a real account holder first, with no exceptions. A phone-bill claim is money attached to somebody’s account, and people will happily put somebody else’s number in to see what falls out. One verification step stops that for everybody else.
Verification confirms you are the person behind the account the claim is attached to. It does not change what the review found, and it is not a payment toward what you recover.
One-time claim verification feeRun by an outside identity service — the same kind banks use. Nothing renews.$99$19
30 days. Change your mind and the $19 comes back, no questions.
The fund reviews claims and releases payouts where a claim is supported. It cannot tell you in advance what your claim is worth, and many claimants recover nothing. What you recover depends on your own carrier, your billing history and your circumstances.

Your number was not called.
Claim did not clear the internal checks for this release, so it is not being carried forward to the payout queue today.
Your claim stays on record. The fund runs these releases regularly and your number goes back in for the next one.
Nothing further is needed from you, and nothing is owed. Thanks for sitting through the review.
