r/ClassActionSettlement

Just received an email notification from Hexclad that a whole $1.79 was paid out of the class action suit. Gee... What should I spend it on? 🤣🤣🤣

I finally got the distribution email for the BCBS class action, I received $177.15 (1 adult, 3 dependents). It’s a virtual debit card, the site allows one to add it to GPay or ApplePay. The site did error out when activating the card, if happens to you, proceed forward (acknowledge the error message by clicking OK) and the next screen will be normal, showing the actual card numbers etc.

Fingers crossed for big payouts for everyone!!

For the Google Assistant Privacy Litigation Settlement. I’m having trouble with the proof section as I don’t have a receipt from 2016 for my Chromebook.

Repost to add the screenshot but I can’t figure out how to do that of course

Made me think that perhaps, they got in trouble for tracking customers without alerting them? Will be following this closely, and if anyone has any info please share!

I just got an email saying they need a copy of my license, the email they just sent me, and to manually fill out the settlement form and mail them in.

Any one receive the first email on the 17th receive their payment yet? I’ve been waiting and searching but nothing yet.

Just got an email about this. Court date is July 9th. I’m so excited to fill this out because I have at least 14 tickets I’ve purchased through them for Live Nation. How much do you think this type of settlement will be assuming the court says they must settle?

Has anyone received a check payment for the settlement or will it still be a while? Apparently, I picked the check option even though I don't remember it.

I don’t even live in Illinois or have kids. So I don’t know why I got it. Did anyone else?

NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
Q.J. v. PowerSchool Holdings LLC, et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-05689
(United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois)
 
Our Records Indicate that, while a Student, a Minor for Whom You Have or Had Legal Responsibility Logged into Naviance and May Be Entitled to a Payment from a Class Action Settlement.
*** ***
A Court authorized this Notice.  You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
This Notice is to inform you that a settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against PowerSchool Holdings LLC (“PowerSchool Holdings”); Hobsons, Inc. (“Hobsons”); Heap Inc. (“Heap”); and the Board of Education of the City of Chicago (“CPS”) (collectively, the “Defendants”). The class action lawsuit seeks to recover against the Defendants for their alleged roles in the alleged non-consensual interception of students’ confidential and sensitive communications while using education technology products offered by Hobsons and, later, PowerSchool Holdings, including a product commonly referred to as Naviance (the “Naviance Platform”). The class action lawsuit alleges violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (“ECPA”), 18 U.S.C. § 2511(a); the California Invasion of Privacy Act (“CIPA”), Cal. Penal Code §§ 631-632; the Illinois Eavesdropping Act (“IEA”), 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/14-1, et seq.; the Stored Communications Act (“SCA”), 18 U.S.C. § 2702(a)(1); the Illinois School Student Records Act (“ISSRA”), 5 Ill. Comp. Stat. 10/1, et seq.; and common law. The Defendants deny that they violated any law but have agreed to the settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with continuing the case.

Received this one in the mail the other day. I got a class action claim from Discover. We’ll see what happens!

I received a email today stating they had determined my "Total Premiums Paid" (to Blue Shield) and I was able to review the total amount on the "Welcome to the Sutter Health Premium Overpayment Settlement Website". The total premiums paid between January 1, 2011 and March 8, 2021 according to them is WELL UNDER HALF what I have paid in premiums to Blue Shield in that time frame, according to my Quickbooks and that only went back to 2014. There is a online dispute form where you can dispute per year what you paid and then they ask for additional documentation. I just spent an hour on the phone with Blue Shield talking to a Manager and Billing and they can only provide payment documentation going back to 2022!!! I'm trying to order statements from my bank but that only going back to 2014 and my main credit card account was frauded and closed so I'm not sure I can even get those statements for proof. I have 30 days to turn in documentation. SOOOOOO I'm curious if others have noticed a discrepancy in the "Total Premiums Paid" ? CHECK THEIR MATH!! thoughts? thanks!!

In gathering documentation for the Keller Williams/Remax case, I searched through my emails for the settlement pages. Using "settlement" I saw all of the class action notices I had gotten and thought I'd get back to them later.

I don't even want to know how much money I missed out on!

Today started out as just another birthday, but around 6:30PM my mother-in-law called my wife saying I had a settlement check at her house 😂 I laughed and said “how much, like $5?” and told her to just open it because I figured it was one of those random class action payouts that barely covers a gallon of gas at this point. A minute later she goes:
“wow it’s for $1 thousand...” Me, before she even finished 🏃💨

check below represents your pro rata share of the Settlement Funds established in the class action entitled Mackmin, et al., v. Visa Inc., et al., No. 1:11-cv-1831-RJL.

All in the title. I'm debating on opting out because this seems like a ridiculous settlement given the injury. What are folks doing?

Man did the attorneys make out on this one. $626 million in their pockets…

“This matter is before the court on Subscriber Counsel's Motion for Approval of Their
Attorneys' Fees and Expenses Application. (Doc. #2733). In the Motion, Subscriber Counsel seek an order: (1) awarding attorneys' fees in the amount of $626,583,372.10, and (2) awarding
reimbursement of costs and expenses in the amount of $40,916,627.90.”

I was looking at some of the claims and the amount that the court said that particular company had to pay and the attorneys get most of the settlement amount. Now is this the attorneys for the company or do the attorneys for the people who filed the lawsuit get some of this money? If that much of the settlement goes to attorney fees for the attorneys for the company that is complete BS hell it actually doesn't matter who's attorneys it is that amount is most of the settlement. I mean after the attorneys get their share there isn't a lot for the people that the lawsuit affected and that is absurd and something should be done about it. Certainly for example let's say Annie v Adidas (example) ok so court granted 4 million bucks and Adidas attorneys fees is 2 mill of that n other stuff so by time all people are paid there is only half a million for the people who filed claims. Now why is it that Adidas attorneys get so much money really they just negotiate with other sides attorneys and come to agreement that amount of money is ridiculous and really if you ask me if it's Adidas attorneys who get the fees who's to say that really the fees are way less but that amount is just put there so the company isn't really paying out that entire 4 million. Something isn't right about how much these attorneys are getting. I am going to start keeping track of settlements that have had final approval hearing and see what attorneys got cause damn there should be a claim filed for that alone...

Hello everyone,

Just a heads up I found my atm settlement money waiting to be claimed in my spam folder from last month. I was looking for something else and found it. It was almost 500.00 that I would have missed . Please look just in case you never received yours .

Be on the lookout. I got this email a few minutes ago. Companies don't send stuff like this for no reason. I can see some very upset people kicking something like this off.

Court-Ordered Notice of Class Action

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Notice to Class Members who had Google “Web & App Activity” control or the “Supplemental Web & App Activity” sub-setting turned off or “paused” of Class Counsel’s Fee Application
Para una notificacion en Español, visitar www.GoogleWebAppActivityLawsuit.com.
A federal Court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

What is this notice about? On September 3, 2025, after a federal trial, the jury concluded that Google unlawfully collected information from certain users of smartphones and tablets who claimed they asked Google not to track their activity on mobile apps. The jury awarded a verdict of over $425 million in damages to two certified Classes. The Court entered a judgment, which requires Google to pay the Classes the amount of the jury’s verdict plus interest. As of March 2, 2026, the verdict plus interest totals $440,345,685.40. Interest continues to accrue on that amount. However, Google has asked the Court to vacate the judgment, meaning disregard the jury verdict. Google may also appeal the judgment. There is no money available now, but Court rules require Class Counsel to make a formal request for their fees (their “Fee Application”), should compensation be awarded. This notice is to inform Class Members of the Fee Application and their opportunity to object to it.

What was the lawsuit about? Three Google account holders (“Plaintiffs”) filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Google LLC (“Google”) unlawfully accessed their devices and data, including app activity data on their mobile devices, even though the Google activity controls called Web & App Activity (“WAA”) and/or a sub-setting concerning “Chrome history and activity from sites, apps, and devices that use Google services,” sometimes called supplemental Web & App Activity (“sWAA”) were turned off or “paused.” Plaintiffs alleged Google unlawfully accessed their mobile devices to collect, save, and use the data concerning their activity on non-Google apps that have incorporated certain Google software code into the apps. Plaintiffs have three legal claims: 1) invasion of privacy; 2) intrusion upon seclusion (similar to invasion of privacy); and 3) violation of the Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act (“CDAFA”). The jury ruled that Google is liable for invasion of privacy and intrusion upon seclusion, but not for violation of the CDAFA.

**You are receiving this Notice because Google's records indicate that you may be a Class Member.**You were previously sent notice of the Court’s certification of the Classes in this lawsuit in the fall of 2024. This Notice advises you of the jury verdict and judgment that were reached in the lawsuit, Class Counsel’s Fee Application, your rights and options at this time, and the deadline to exercise them.

Who is a Class Member? The Court certified two classes to assert claims for invasion of privacy and intrusion upon seclusion. These classes include the following individuals:
Class 1 (the Android Class): All “non-Enterprise” and “non-Unicorn” individuals who, during the period beginning July 1, 2016 and continuing through September 23, 2024, (a) had their “Web & App Activity” and/or “supplemental Web & App Activity” setting turned off and (b) whose activity on a non-Google-branded mobile app was still transmitted to Google, from (c) a mobile device running the Android operating system, because of the Firebase Software Development Kit (“SDK”) and/or the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

 
Class 2 (the Non-Android Class): All “non-Enterprise” and “non-Unicorn” individuals who, during the period beginning July 1, 2016 and continuing through September 23, 2024, (a) had their “Web & App Activity” and/or “supplemental Web & App Activity” setting turned off and (b) whose activity on a non-Google-branded mobile app was still transmitted to Google, from (c) a mobile device running a non-Android operating system, because of the Firebase SDK and/or Google Mobile Ads SDK.
“Enterprise individuals” refers to individuals who onlyhave an “Enterprise” Google Account. An “Enterprise” Google Account is an account managed by an administrator that is designed for end users within an organization, such as businesses, non-profits, and schools. Individuals who have an “Enterprise” Google Account are not part of the certified Classes that claimed invasion of privacy and intrusion upon seclusion unless they also have another Google Account.

“Unicorn individuals” refers to individuals who only have a “Unicorn” Google Account, which is also known as a “supervised Google Account for users under age 13.” A “supervised Google account for users under age 13” is an account created for a minor when they are under the age of 13, and which is created and supervised by a parent using Google Family Link. Individuals who have a “Unicorn” Google Account are not part of the certified Classes that claimed invasion of privacy and intrusion upon seclusion unless they also have another Google Account.

What was the verdict? The jury found Google liable to Class Members who use Android devices (“Class 1”) and to Class Members who use non-Android devices (“Class 2”) for invasion of privacy and intrusion upon seclusion. The jury awarded a total of $425,651,947, of which $247,154,157 is due to Class 1 (Android users) and $178,497,790 is due to Class 2 (non-Android users). These amounts will continue accruing interest as required by law. The jury found Google not liable for violation of the CDAFA. For more information about the verdict, you can visit the Case Website and read the jury’s verdict and related motions filed by both Google and the Plaintiffs.

Does the verdict mean money is available now? No money will be distributed at this time. While the jury did award a verdict, Google has asked the Court to vacate the judgment, meaning disregard the jury verdict. Google also may appeal. Class Counsel will continue to pursue the lawsuit against Google. If money or benefits become available at a later date, you will be notified and given instructions on how to make a claim.

What is a Fee Application? In a class action lawsuit like this, the Court decides the amount that Class Counsel will be paid for their work. When a jury awards compensation with a verdict in a class action, the Court requires that Class Counsel make a formal application for the fees Class Counsel believes it should be paid for their work in the lawsuit. Class Counsel must also request reimbursement for any costs and expenses incurred in bringing the lawsuit (such as the cost of expert witnesses and for providing notice to the Classes) and for service awards to the individual plaintiffs who represented class members and took part in the lawsuit. Individual Class Members are given an opportunity to review Class Counsel’s fee application and object to any part of it. The Court considers Class Counsel’s application and any objections, and the Court decides how much Class Counsel will be paid, how much they will be reimbursed, and what service awards will be granted to the class representatives.

What does the Fee Application Say? Class Counsel is requesting (1) attorneys’ fees equal to 33% of the judgment, including both the jury’s verdict award and interest, which continues to accrue until Google’s challenges to the judgment are resolved; (2) $12,422,374.42 to reimburse costs and expenses incurred by Class Counsel; and (3) a total of $135,000.00 for service awards for the three class representatives. Class Counsel’s Fee Application states their justification for each of these requests. The Court must approve the Fee Application and may award less than these amounts. You can review the Fee Application at the Case Website, www.GoogleWebAppActivityLawsuit.comby clicking here. These amounts will be paid from the compensation ultimately awarded in this case, if any. These amounts will not be paid until after the Court rules on Google’s request to disregard the jury verdict and, if Google also chooses to appeal, after the Court rules on that appeal. You do not have to pay for Class Counsel or any of their fees and costs.

Who are Class Counsel? The Court has appointed the following lawyers as Class Counsel to represent Class Members.
