Settlement administrator

A settlement administrator is the independent company a court approves to manage the day to day work of a class action settlement. They are not the law firm or the defendant, and their role is to handle the process fairly.

Administrators typically send notices to class members, run the official settlement website, review claim forms, decide which claims are valid, and distribute payments once the settlement is final.

If you have a question about a claim you filed, the settlement administrator listed on the official notice is usually the correct point of contact. Filing directly with the administrator is free.

Class action settlements can be worth real money if you qualify. See which ones are open right now and what you may be owed.
