Four quick questions — your state, breach notices, things you've bought or used, and how much paperwork you'll actually do — checked against every open settlement on this page. Get a filing plan ranked by deadline, ready to shortlist.
Every state starts selected, so the full list shows. Deselect a state to hide its state-only classes; nationwide settlements always match, whatever you pick. Bonus badges light up when a settlement pays a selected state more.
Ranked by estimated dollars per minute of effort: published per-person cap ÷ typical filing time (no proof ≈ 2 min, ID ≈ 5, documents ≈ 20). Rows with no published per-person figure rank after priced rows.

How to be a class representative
The class representative stands in for everyone in the lawsuit — and courts can approve an extra incentive payment for the time it takes. See what the role actually involves.
Per-person figures are Hero estimates drawn from published caps. Estimates are estimates, never promises — where no cap is published, the fund is shown with its per-person split marked TBD.

Denied is usually a paperwork problem, not the end of the story.
Claim denied? Start here.
A denial feels final. It usually isn't. The steps that actually work:
Read the denial reason first. Most denials are curable — a missing document, a typo, a duplicate filing. The notice tells you which one you're dealing with; fix that, not everything.
Mind the clock. Appeal and fix windows are usually 30–60 days. Check the date on your denial notice and act fast — these deadlines do not accept apologies.
Go straight to the settlement administrator. They're the ones who can actually reopen or correct a claim. Their contact info is on the official settlement site — the same site each row's “File a claim” button links to.
Only file where you genuinely qualify. Every claim is signed under penalty of perjury — the eligibility line on each row tells you who the class actually covers.
“No proof” means a sworn statement. Nothing to upload, but the statement itself is the legal attestation. Notice-ID claims need the ID from the email or postcard you were sent.
Filing windows can move. Courts occasionally extend them — confirm the date on the official settlement site before filing.
Links marked unverified were reported by settlement trackers but not yet confirmed against an official site. Search the settlement name to find the court-appointed administrator before entering any information.
Free to use, kept alive by tips
This ledger is free for everyone and maintained automatically — new settlements added, expired ones removed, every 4 hours. If it puts money back in your pocket, a tip helps keep it running.
Where this ledger pulls from
To catch settlements the big roundups miss, the sweep checks court-appointed administrator sites, state attorney-general pages, securities clearinghouses, and independent settlement trackers. Rows are re-checked every 4 hours; a claim link is only presented as verified after it has been confirmed against an official settlement site.
No settlement on this page paid for its placement. We checked. That's the whole product.
289 open settlements tracked · $6.35B in tracked settlement funds · Refreshed every 4 hours · Free API — no key, no signup · Dataset snapshot: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23463525 Every published figure is verified against primary court or regulatory documents, or the official settlement site. Methodology
How this ledger stays accurate
Settlements are compiled from court-appointed settlement administrators and public settlement trackers, then checked against official claim sites — a claim link is only marked verified after that check. Every row states who qualifies, what proof filing takes, the total settlement fund, and the filing deadline, and rows are re-checked every 4 hours.
On October 14, 2026, every proof label on this page was audited against the claim forms behind it. 22 settlements marked “no proof needed” actually required a notice ID — all 22 were corrected, and every data rebuild now runs a proof-label check that blocks a bad label from shipping.
Amounts are total settlement funds — what a court set aside — never per-person payout estimates. This page is information, not legal or financial advice. Data as of October 15, 2026.
Corporate Recidivists
Repeat offenders, ranked live from the ledger above: every company caught in more than one tracked settlement, scored by settlement count and combined published funds. The board recomputes each time the ledger refreshes — recidivism waits for no one.
A settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. It is, however, a payment.
The ballot box
From time to time, readers get a poll question.

How to check eligibility
How do I check which settlements I qualify for?
Run the free eligibility check at the top of this page: four questions — where you live, breach notices you have received, products and services you have used, and how much paperwork you will do — matched against every open settlement tracked here. Each settlement row also states who qualifies; only file where you genuinely qualify, since every claim is signed under penalty of perjury.
Do I need proof of purchase to file a claim?
It depends on the settlement. Every row on this page is labeled with what filing takes — no proof needed, a notice or account ID, documents, automatic payment, or unverified. “No proof needed” still means signing a sworn statement; the statement itself is the legal attestation.
How do I file a claim?
You always file on the official settlement administrator's site — this page never files for you. Open the “File in 2 minutes” guide on any settlement to see exactly what to gather first, then use its claim link to complete the administrator's form in one pass.
When will I get paid?
Each settlement pays on its own schedule after the filing window closes and claims are reviewed, so check the official settlement site for timing. Amounts shown here are total settlement funds, not per-person payouts — individual payments are usually pro-rated and smaller.

Every class action has a class representative — also called the lead or named plaintiff. That's the person whose name is on the case and who represents everyone else in the class.
What you do: work with the lawyers on the case, review key filings, and possibly sit for a deposition. Class counsel handles nearly all of the legal work.
Time involved: usually a few hours spread across the life of the case — more if it goes to trial, which most cases don't.
How reps are chosen: the court appoints them, usually from class members with typical claims who are willing to participate. You raise your hand by contacting the firms handling the case.
Incentive awards: courts can approve an extra payment to the representative for their time and effort, on top of whatever the class receives.
General information, not legal advice. Only step up in cases where you genuinely qualify as a class member.
