Summary
An amended complaint replaces the original and must include all claims, even those from the initial complaint. Complete all sections, including the amount in controversy, and file within the 21-day deadline. If you missed sections in your initial application, fill them out in the amended complaint and resubmit. Filing an amended complaint will not negatively impact your case.
