Non-US writers, I checked with the Anthropic settlement folks and we do need to file W-8 BEN forms to avoid IRS tax withholding. Thanks to the nice helpline people for the response. Here is the form: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/...

If you are not a US resident, provide Form W-8BEN: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf

This allows you to certify nonresident status. Upload your documentation in the update information portal. You will need your claim number and the email address used to submit your claim.
