What the record says

Its refund page tells check recipients to cash payments within 90 days and PayPal recipients to accept payments within 30 days.

Practical next step

Use the FTC’s refund page for administrator details and payment questions. Do not pay anyone who promises access to a refund.

Limits and what is not established

These are FTC statements about a settlement and refund distribution, not independent proof of an individual payment or an offer for all GOAT shoppers.
