How to Find Open Class Action Settlements You Can Claim Right Now

Last updated: July 12, 2026

There is roughly half a billion dollars sitting in class action settlement funds right now, waiting for people to claim it. The problem is, most people don't know where to look.

Every week, settlement deadlines pass with millions of dollars left unclaimed — money that was meant for ordinary people like you. The money doesn't go back to the companies that were sued. It goes to cy pres, unclaimed funds pools, or government coffers. The people who were harmed get nothing.

The good news? Finding open class action settlements is not hard once you know the right sources. Here's exactly how to find them.

What Are Open Class Action Settlements?

An "open" class action settlement is one that is currently accepting claims. The court has approved (or preliminarily approved) a settlement agreement, and the claims administrator is now accepting claim forms from eligible class members.

As of July 2026, The Boring Receipt tracks 62 open, closing-soon, and preliminary settlements across categories including data breach, consumer products, financial services, employment, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and more.

Method 1: Use a Settlement Tracker (The Easiest Way)

The fastest way to find open settlements is to use a curated tracker that does the work for you. The Boring Receipt's Settlements Page lists every currently open settlement we've verified directly against its official claims administrator source.

Here's what you get:

• Sort by deadline — Find settlements closing soonest so you don't miss out
• Filter by category — Data breach, consumer, employment, and more
• Estimated payout ranges — See what each settlement offers
• Direct claims links — Every entry links to the official claim form

Right now, some of the open settlements include:

Method 2: Search Official Claims Administrator Sites

The major settlement administrators run their own searchable databases. These are the companies courts hire to manage the claims process:

• Epiq — One of the largest administrators, handles consumer, securities, and antitrust settlements
• Kroll Restructuring Administration — Administers major securities and antitrust class actions
• JND Legal Administration — Consumer and employment settlements
• Angeion Group — Increasingly common for consumer and privacy settlements
• Rust Consulting — Long-established administrator
• Analytics Consulting — Settlement administration and data analytics
• Simpluris — Growing administrator for smaller consumer funds

The limitation here: you need to browse each site individually, and their search isn't always great. This is why we built our tracker — one place to see everything.

Method 3: Subscribe to Settlement Newsletters

Many settlement trackers offer email digests. The Boring Receipt's weekly digest (coming soon) will deliver new settlements matching your interests straight to your inbox.

For now, you can bookmark the Settlements Page and check back weekly. New settlements are added as soon as they're verified against their primary sources.

Method 4: Search for Settlements by Category

Different types of settlements are easier to find if you know what to look for. Here's how to find settlements in common categories:

Data Breach Settlements

If your data was leaked in a breach, you may be entitled to cash. Current open data breach settlements include Lands' End (~$60 flat payment, deadline Oct 22, 2026), Circle K ($50 flat payment, deadline Sep 3, 2026), and Esse Health (~$50 flat payment, deadline Aug 4, 2026).

Consumer Product Settlements

Bought a product that didn't work as advertised? Current settlements cover Cosequin dog supplements ($25 per unit, no receipt required), Whirlpool refrigerators (up to 50% of purchase price), and Bestway spas (up to $75 cash).

Employment & Labor Settlements

If you worked for certain companies, automatic payments may be coming your way with no claim form needed. Check BrandSafway (~$1,632/claimant), Guitar Center (pro rata of $2.4M fund), and Alatrade Foods (pro rata of $500K fund).

Antitrust & Price-Fixing Settlements

If you bought products or services from companies that fixed prices, you could claim cash. Major open ones include Deere repair services ($99M fund), Disney YouTube TV ($50M fund), QVAR inhaler ($35M fund), and Generic Drugs end-payer claims.

Insurance Settlements

Policyholders may be due refunds. Current settlements include State Farm Alabama total-loss fees ($20.50 flat, deadline July 15!), Transamerica life insurance COI (minimum $200), and Aetna L-ADR surgery coverage (up to $55,000 reimbursement).

What NOT to Do When Searching for Settlements

🚫 Don't Rely on Social Media Alone

TikTok and Reddit threads often repeat stale or wrong deadlines. A settlement that went viral three months ago may have already closed. Always verify against the official claims site.

🚫 Don't Pay to File a Claim

Legitimate class action settlements are always free to file. If a website asks you to pay to submit a claim, that's a scam. The claim form is on the official settlement website, and filing takes 1–5 minutes.

🚫 Don't Assume You're Not Eligible

Many people skip settlements because they think "it's not worth the hassle" or "I probably don't qualify." The Cosequin settlement pays $25 per unit with no receipt needed — if you bought the supplement, you just attest to it. The Comcast breach settlement offers ~$50 with zero documentation. Small claims add up.

Why Settlements Go Unclaimed

According to industry data, class action settlement claim rates typically range from 1% to 30%, depending on whether notice is direct (email/mail) or indirect (publication). For large consumer funds, it's common for more than half the settlement money to go unclaimed.

Why? People throw away the mailer, forget to file, or decide "it's probably too complicated." But the actual filing process for most settlements is:

1. Click the claim link
2. Enter your name and contact info
3. Answer a few eligibility questions
4. Submit

That's it. For most data breach and consumer settlements, you don't even need a receipt (more on that in our guide to claiming without a receipt).

Quick Start: What to Do Right Now

1. Visit the Settlements Page — Scan the list for anything you qualify for
2. Check the "closing soon" filter — Settlements expiring in the next two weeks go to the top
3. File your claims now — Most take under 5 minutes
4. Set a reminder — Check back every 2–4 weeks for new settlements

The difference between getting your share and missing out is five minutes and knowing where to look.
