Step 1, free: the eligibility result and evidence list above are free. No recovery amount is guaranteed, and a paid packet remains suppressed unless the exact claim, value threshold, and submission channel are all supported.
Step 2, optional: build the tracked mail packet for this claim. The free official path stays first there too; NewState Drive only charges a service fee if you choose the tracked-mail convenience.
