Six open class action settlements to file now

This week's closing-soon window is quiet: every deadline in the next 14 days belongs to settlements already covered in prior issues. But six new claims opened with deadlines between July 7 and September 14, and one of them — a robocall case against cookware brand Royal Prestige — is projecting $600 to $1,000 per person with no proof required, the highest individual no-proof cash estimate this channel has covered.

Honest baseline: class action checks usually arrive 6–18 months after the claim deadline and often run $5–$30. Two entries below beat that range significantly; one offers a flat $875 with no pro-rata risk; the rest pay $50–$100 in the typical range. File what you qualify for, log the submission, and treat any payment as a pleasant surprise rather than a sure thing.

Closing this week

No new mass-market settlement deadlines fall within the next 14 days (by June 29, 2026). If you filed in prior issues, here is a brief status check on still-open windows from those rounds:

HH-Entertainment FACTA — July 27 deadline, still open
Amazon Prime FTC — July 27 deadline; note that Firefox has flagged this site as suspicious. r/classactions moderator u/sam_teks described it as "just a shitty court-mandated settlement site" — the case itself is legitimate. 1
Sprouts Farmers Market FACTA — August 5 deadline, still open
Google Assistant — August 27 deadline, still open
Comcast Xfinity breach — September 14 deadline, still open

Newly opened

Menards bonded abrasive wheels settlement — deadline Jul 7

The lawsuit: Glenn Shoemaker v. Menard Inc. alleged that Menards sold PERFORMAX- and MASTERFORCE-branded bonded abrasive wheels (grinding discs, cutoff wheels) that did not meet advertised safety and performance standards. 2

Who qualifies: US consumers who bought Menards-brand PERFORMAX or MASTERFORCE bonded abrasive wheels between June 10, 2018 and April 22, 2026. 2

Payout — two tiers:

No-proof path: Up to 5 replacement wheels at no charge (total product value fund: $275,000). Self-attestation only.
Cash path: Up to $50 cash, but requires a receipt or card statement showing the purchase. The cash pool is capped at $500,000 after attorney fees. 3

Proof required: None for replacement wheels. Receipt or card statement for cash.

Filing: Visit menardbondedabrasivewheelsettlement.com and submit online. Deadline: July 7, 2026. Court docket: administered by Simpluris. 2

Steps / time: 3–4 fields online; approximately 3 minutes for the no-proof wheel replacement path.

Community signal: r/lawsuitmoney discussed this one in early June. 4 r/classactions moderator u/sam_teks included it in a verified roundup post and added a reminder worth repeating: "All filings are made under penalty of perjury, so eligibility has to be genuine even where no proof is required." 1

Hy Cite / Royal Prestige TCPA robocall settlement — deadline Jul 8

The lawsuit: Angela Keith v. Hy Cite Enterprises, LLC (Case No. 3:24-cv-729-jdp, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin) alleged that Hy Cite — which sells cookware and kitchen products under the Royal Prestige brand — placed prerecorded or artificial-voice calls to people's cell phones without consent, violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). 5

Who qualifies: Anyone who received an artificial or prerecorded-voice call on their cell phone from Hy Cite Enterprises or Royal Prestige between October 22, 2020 and September 10, 2025, and who was not a Hy Cite customer at the time of the call. 5

Payout: ~$600–$1,000 per valid claimant, depending on total claim volume. The $4.75 million fund is divided among all valid filers after attorney fees (up to 33%), admin costs, and service awards are deducted. Fewer filers means more per person. No pro-rata risk if claim volume stays low — but it could drop below $600 if the case receives unusually broad attention. This is one of the highest per-person estimates for a no-proof settlement in recent months. 5

Proof required: None. Self-attestation only — you attest on the claim form that you received a call and were not a customer.

Filing: Visit hycitetcpasettlement.com → click "Submit Claim" → fill in name, contact info, and attestation. Deadline: July 8, 2026. Final approval hearing: October 6, 2026. Administrator: Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, (833) 621-5434. 5

Steps / time: ~5 minutes, online only.

Fidelity Investments data breach settlement — deadline Jul 27

The lawsuit: In re: Fidelity Investments Data Breach Litigation (Case No. 1:24-CV-12601-LTS, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts) alleged that a third party accessed Fidelity's systems on August 17–19, 2024, potentially exposing names, Social Security numbers, financial account information, and driver's license numbers for tens of thousands of customers. Fidelity agreed to a $2.5 million settlement fund. 6

Who qualifies: One of two paths:

You received Fidelity's direct breach notice for this August 2024 incident.
Your account number and routing number were exposed in the incident, even if you did not receive a notice. 7

Joint account holders with a single compromised account share one claim.

Payout — two tiers:

No-proof tier: ~$100 pro-rata cash payment. The actual amount could be higher or lower depending on claim volume and how much of the fund is consumed by documented-loss claims.
Documented losses tier: Up to $5,000 with bank statements or receipts as evidence.
California residents may also claim an additional $50 CCPA payment. 6

Proof required: None for the ~$100 cash tier. Bank statements/receipts required only for the documented-loss tier.

Filing: Visit fidelitydatasettlement.com/form/claim/ for the online form, or download a paper form and mail to P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958. Deadline: July 27, 2026. Final approval hearing: July 9, 2026. Administrator: Simpluris, (833) 386-6470. 6

Steps / time: ~5 minutes for the no-proof cash tier.

One date to note: The opt-out/objection deadline was June 26, which has now passed — but that does not affect your ability to file a claim. You can still submit.

PHH Mortgage PMI kickback settlement — deadline Aug 11

The lawsuit: Munoz, et al. v. PHH Corp., et al. (Case No. 1:08-cv-00759-MMB-BAM, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California) alleged that PHH steered mortgage borrowers into private mortgage insurance (PMI) arrangements that secretly sent money back to PHH through captive reinsurance deals — a kickback structure prohibited by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). 8

Who qualifies: Anyone who obtained a residential mortgage loan originated or acquired by PHH Corp., PHH Mortgage Corp., PHH Home Loans, LLC, or Atrium Insurance Corp. between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009, and who purchased private mortgage insurance on that loan as part of a PHH captive reinsurance arrangement. Heirs and successors to eligible borrowers also qualify. 8

Payout: $875 flat per eligible loan — no pro-rata reduction. This is a fixed per-loan payment, not a shared fund. Each claimant with a valid loan receives $875. The settlement received final court approval on December 19, 2025, making this one of the few open claims where payment can proceed as soon as claims are processed — there is no further hearing to wait for. 8

Proof required: Officially listed as "none" on classaction.org. You will likely need to identify your PHH loan by loan number or property address on the claim form. 9

Filing: Visit phhmisettlement.com to file online through the JND portal, or download a paper form from the Documents section and mail to JND Legal Administration, P.O. Box 91304, Seattle, WA 98111. Deadline: August 11, 2026. Phone: (855) 779-8982. 8

Steps / time: ~10–15 minutes — you will need to locate your 2007–2009 loan information.

Important: This is specifically the PMI kickback settlement at phhmisettlement.com. PHH has a separate, unrelated FDCPA settlement (williamsphhsettlement.com) — the two are different lawsuits with different class definitions. Check both if you had a PHH loan in the relevant period.

Labcorp / AMCA data breach settlement — deadline Sep 3

The lawsuit: In re: American Medical Collection Agency, Inc. Customer Data Security Breach Litigation (All Actions Against Labcorp) (Civil Action No. 19-md-2904, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey) alleged that Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (Labcorp) transmitted patient billing data to its collection agency, American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), and that AMCA's systems were breached between approximately August 2018 and March 2019, potentially exposing patients' names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, payment card information, and protected health information. Labcorp agreed to a $35 million settlement. 10

Who qualifies: Anyone for whom Labcorp transmitted personal information to AMCA and whose information was contained in the systems affected by the breach. The most practical eligibility check: if you were a Labcorp patient who had lab work done before mid-2019, you may qualify — especially if you ever received a collection notice from AMCA. 11

Payout — two tiers:

No-proof tier: $50 Alternative Cash Payment. The $50 is an estimate that can shift pro-rata depending on total claim volume and the amount paid out for documented losses.
Documented losses tier: Up to $5,000 with receipts, bank statements, or similar documentation.
Free bonus for all class members: Two years of CyEx Medical Shield Pro medical identity monitoring and $1 million fraud insurance — no claim required for this. 10

Proof required: None for the $50 cash tier. Documentation required for losses tier.

Filing: Visit amcadatabreachsettlement83395.com → "Submit A Claim" → select the Alternative Cash Payment option. Deadline: September 3, 2026. Final approval hearing: August 20, 2026. Administrator: Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, (833) 447-6786. 10

Steps / time: ~5 minutes for the no-proof $50 tier.

Google Play COPPA children's privacy settlement — deadline Sep 14

The lawsuit: A.B., et al. v. Google LLC, et al. (Case No. 5:23-cv-03101, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Judge P. Casey Pitts) alleged that Google illegally collected, used, and disclosed personal information from children under 13 through Google Play apps — including using that data for targeted behavioral advertising without parental consent — in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Google agreed to a $8.25 million settlement fund. 12

Who qualifies: Any US resident who, at any time from April 1, 2015 through the present, was younger than 13 years old when they downloaded or used an application from Google Play, and from whom Google allegedly collected personal information. Because the class period runs to the present day, a child who used the Play Store as recently as this year may qualify. 13

Who files: Because all class members were under 13 during the class period, anyone who is still under 18 as of May 29, 2026 must have a parent or legal guardian submit the claim on their behalf.

Payout: ~$40–$200 pro-rata, depending on total claim volume. The fund is fixed at $8.25 million; after attorney fees (up to 30%, or ~$2.475 million), admin costs, and service awards, the remainder is divided among all valid claims. The class is potentially enormous — tens of millions of US children used Google Play since 2015 — which is why the per-person estimate is wide and the low end is genuinely possible. Any undistributed funds go to court-approved charities (cy pres); none revert to Google. 12

Proof required: None. The claim form asks only for name, address, phone, email, and signature.

Filing: Visit coppaprivacyclassaction.com → "Submit Claim" → complete the Kroll CMS form online, or request a paper form by mail at P.O. Box 5391, New York, NY 10150-5391. Deadline: September 14, 2026. Final approval hearing: September 24, 2026. Administrator: Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, (833) 447-6416. 12

Steps / time: ~5–10 minutes. Registration in the Kroll portal is likely required before form submission.

Settlement status: Preliminary approval only — final hearing is September 24. Payments will not be distributed until after final approval and any appeals are resolved, which typically means 12–18 months from now.

Community signal from r/Android: When this settlement was posted on June 8, the reaction was predictably skeptical. User u/Dull_Nobody_840 summed up the prevailing sentiment: "so im expecting what like $3.50?" (25 upvotes). 14 That skepticism is fair — the $40–$200 estimate assumes a low-to-moderate claim rate. If this case gets widespread coverage, the per-person amount could fall sharply. File if the child qualifies; do not expect a windfall.

Three quick wins

If you only have 15 minutes this week, these three give you the clearest return on time:

Hy Cite / Royal Prestige robocall (~$600–$1,000, deadline Jul 8) — If you ever received an unsolicited prerecorded call from Royal Prestige cookware on your cell between late 2020 and 2025, this is the highest-value no-proof claim on this list. Five minutes at hycitetcpasettlement.com. The July 8 deadline is eight days away — do not let this one slip. 5
Labcorp / AMCA breach ($50 flat, deadline Sep 3) — The $35 million fund is one of the largest breach settlements in New Jersey federal court. If you were ever a Labcorp patient before mid-2019 and received any AMCA collection communication, the $50 no-proof tier takes about five minutes at amcadatabreachsettlement83395.com. The free two-year CyEx medical identity monitoring alone has real value regardless of your cash claim. 10
PHH Mortgage PMI kickbacks ($875 flat, deadline Aug 11) — Few class action settlements pay a guaranteed flat amount per person with no pro-rata risk. This one does: $875 per eligible PHH loan, finally approved in December 2025. If you had a PHH mortgage between 2007–2009 with PMI, dig out the loan paperwork and file at phhmisettlement.com before August 11. The ~10–15 minute overhead is worth it for $875. 8

Timing and taxes: Payments from settlements under preliminary approval (Fidelity, Hy Cite, Labcorp, Google Play) will not be distributed until after final court approval — plan for 12–18 months from each deadline. PHH Mortgage is already finally approved and will process sooner. The IRS generally treats settlement proceeds as taxable income; keep a record of each claim you file and each payment you receive. Pro-rata payouts can increase or decrease from current estimates once final claim counts are known.
