What Is a Class Action Settlement?
A class action lawsuit is filed when a group of consumers experiences the same issue with a company or product. When a settlement is reached, eligible individuals can file a claim to receive compensation — which might be a cash payout, product reimbursement, or store credit.

- Free Money: Many claims don’t require receipts or lengthy forms.

- Recurring Opportunity: New settlements are announced monthly, often with wide eligibility.
Common Reasons for Class Action Lawsuits
