6 open class action settlements you can file before summer ends

One deadline lands this month. Four more close between late June and late July. Checks from class actions are usually $10–$50; one entry here goes higher. None of this is life-changing money, but six claims filed in under 30 minutes adds up over a year into something real.

The honest framing first: most payouts depend on how many people file, and these funds do run thin when large classes claim. File, keep a record, and expect a check 6–18 months from now — or nothing, if claim volume overwhelms the fund. That's the baseline.

Closing soon

These two deadlines arrive first. File them before moving on.

Settlement	Fund	Payout estimate	Proof	Deadline
Bank of America 7-Eleven ATM fee	$2.25M	Pro-rata (former customers must file)	None for current customers; Notice ID for former	June 29, 2026
Tom's of Maine toothpaste contamination	$2.9M	~1 product MSRP without proof; up to 3 products with receipts	Self-attestation (or optional receipts)	July 6, 2026

Bank of America 7-Eleven ATM fee settlement — deadline June 29

What was the lawsuit: Scherzer v. Bank of America, N.A. alleged that Bank of America charged customers more than one out-of-network fee during a single balance inquiry visit at 7-Eleven ATMs owned by FCTI, Inc. — in breach of the bank's own account agreement. The $2.25M settlement covers consumers who were hit with duplicate fees. 1

Who qualifies: Bank of America accountholders (current or former) who were charged more than one out-of-network balance inquiry fee during a single ATM visit at a 7-Eleven location between May 1, 2018 and November 16, 2021. Customers who previously filed in the related Weiss v. FCTI case are excluded. 1

Payout: Current accountholders receive an automatic pro-rata credit — no action needed. Former accountholders must file a claim using the class member ID from their settlement notice. 1 The per-person amount depends on how many former customers file.

Proof required: Current customers — none. Former customers — the claim form ID from your settlement notice.

Steps to file: Visit oonfeesettlement.com (or the direct form at forms.ksacms.com) → log in with your class member ID → confirm contact details → submit. Estimated time: 5 minutes. Deadline: June 29, 2026.

Court: U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, Case No. 3:19-cv-00264. Final approval hearing August 21, 2026. 1

5-minute value check: Former customers with a notice ID: file now. Current customers: the credit arrives automatically. If you bank with Bank of America and used a 7-Eleven ATM for balance checks in that three-year window, check your mail for a notice — the deadline is four weeks out.

Tom's of Maine toothpaste contamination settlement — deadline July 6

What was the lawsuit: Rabinowitz et al. v. Colgate-Palmolive Company et al. alleged that Colgate-Palmolive and its Tom's of Maine subsidiary engaged in deceptive marketing after an FDA inspection found the Sanford, Maine manufacturing facility failed to meet Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) — yet the company continued marketing products as "naturally sourced" and "naturally effective." The $2.9M fund covers US purchasers of Tom's of Maine toothpaste. 2

Who qualifies: Anyone in the United States who purchased Tom's of Maine toothpaste for personal use between November 21, 2020 and March 6, 2026. One claim per household. 2

Payout: Without proof of purchase — the average MSRP for one product (subject to pro-rata reduction). With receipts — full refund for up to three products (also subject to pro-rata). 3

Proof required: Not required for a base claim. Providing receipts unlocks up to a 3x payout.

Steps to file: Visit toothpastesettlement.com → fill out the claim form → attest to your purchases → submit. Estimated time: 5 minutes without receipts, 10 minutes with. Deadline: July 6, 2026.

Court: U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, Case No. 2:25-cv-6996-JMW. Final approval hearing September 10, 2026. 2

5-minute value check: Tom's of Maine is sold in nearly every grocery chain and pharmacy in the US. If your household bought a tube in the past five years, this is a 5-minute filing for one product's MSRP. The no-proof path is the lowest-friction option — only pull receipts if you have them handy and want to claim multiple products.

Tom's of Maine toothpaste tube — Tom's of Maine toothpaste — one of the most common products in the class period. 3

Newly opened — deadlines July 27 through August 27

Four settlements with more runway, including one with an unusually straightforward filing path and another backed by a $68M fund.

Settlement	Fund	Payout estimate	Proof	Deadline
HH-Entertainment Hustler Store FACTA	Undisclosed	~$23 estimated	None — login with notice ID + PIN	July 27, 2026
Amazon Prime FTC subscription	$2.5B (total FTC settlement)	Up to $51	None beyond notice receipt	July 27, 2026
Sprouts Farmers Market FACTA receipt	$5M	Equal share (~$67–$405 range, depending on claims)	None for Short-Form (notice required); receipt or statement for Form-R	August 5, 2026
Google Assistant privacy	$68M	Points-based pro-rata; ~$42.7M for distribution	Device serial number (Purchaser class); self-attestation (Privacy class)	August 27, 2026

HH-Entertainment Hustler Store FACTA settlement — deadline July 27

What was the lawsuit: A consumer sued HH-Entertainment, Inc. (the operator of the Hustler adult retail store chain) alleging that receipts printed at Hustler locations displayed more credit and debit card information than the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) permits — specifically, more than the last five digits of the card number. 4

Who qualifies: Customers who used a personal credit or debit card at a Hustler store between October 20, 2018 and February 26, 2025. Eligibility is determined by HH-Entertainment's transaction records — no self-certification required. 4

Payout: Approximately $23 per claimant, per ClassAction.org's estimate. Payment options include PayPal, Venmo, virtual prepaid card, or paper check. 5

Proof required: None. There is no traditional claim form. Class members who receive a notice with a Claim ID and PIN simply log in, select a payment method, and confirm contact details.

Steps to file: Receive your settlement notice → visit hhclassaction.com → log in with Claim ID + PIN → select payment method → confirm. Estimated time: 2 minutes. Deadline: July 27, 2026.

Court: Manassa v. HH-Entertainment, Inc. Final approval hearing September 15, 2026. Settlement administrator: Verita. 4

5-minute value check: This one requires receiving a notice — if you shopped at a Hustler store between late 2018 and early 2025, watch your mail. The filing process itself is the lightest on this list: no form, no attestation, just a payment method selection.

Amazon Prime FTC subscription settlement — deadline July 27

What was the lawsuit: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued Amazon in 2023 alleging the company enrolled consumers in Prime subscriptions through deceptive interface designs — what the FTC characterized as "dark patterns" — and then made cancellation intentionally difficult, violating the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act. Amazon denied wrongdoing. The total settlement with the FTC is $2.5 billion; this second-phase claims process distributes a portion of that fund to affected customers. 6

Who qualifies: Amazon customers who signed up for Prime between June 23, 2019 and June 23, 2025 AND who either (a) unsuccessfully tried to cancel Prime at some point, OR (b) enrolled through one of the specific "challenged enrollment flows" (Universal Prime Decision Page, Shipping Option Select Page, Prime Video enrollment, or Single Page Checkout). An additional requirement: Prime benefits must have been used 10 or fewer times over any 12-month enrollment period. 6

Payout: Up to $51 per claimant, tied to total Prime membership fees paid during the subscription period. Amount determined after claims review. 6

Proof required: None beyond identifying information. You must have received a notice (email or mail) to file — claims are then verified against Amazon's records.

Steps to file: Check for a notice from Amazon or the settlement administrator → visit veritaconnect.com/subscriptionmembershipsettlement → complete the claim form → submit. Estimated time: 5 minutes. Claims reviewed within 30 days; payments expected by September 2026. Deadline: July 27, 2026.

Court: U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington. 7

5-minute value check: The eligibility bar is higher than most entries here — you need a notice AND must qualify under the enrollment or cancellation criteria. If you received a notice, the filing is straightforward. If you haven't seen one, check your spam folder for email from Amazon or the settlement administrator.

Sprouts Farmers Market FACTA receipt settlement — deadline August 5

What was the lawsuit: Larry Tran v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. et al. (consolidated with a second case) alleged that Sprouts violated FACTA by printing more than the last five digits of customers' credit card, debit card, and EBT card numbers on checkout receipts — increasing identity theft risk. The $5M settlement fund is non-reversionary, meaning unclaimed funds go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation rather than back to Sprouts. 8

Who qualifies: U.S. customers who used a personal credit or debit card at any Sprouts Farmers Market between August 16, 2020 and October 31, 2022, or an EBT card between March 15, 2021 and April 15, 2023 — and received a receipt showing more than five card digits. One share per claimant regardless of how many transactions. 8

Payout: An equal share of the net fund. After approximately $2.4M in attorney fees and administrative costs, roughly $2.6M remains for distribution. USA TODAY estimated a range of $67.50–$405 per claimant depending on participation — that's an unusually wide spread, reflecting how strongly total claim volume will drive the per-person number. 7

Proof required: Short-Form (no proof needed) — available only to claimants who received an email notice with a Notice Number beginning with "P." Form-R (proof required) — for those without a notice: submit a Sprouts receipt showing too many card digits, or a redacted card statement showing a Sprouts transaction in the class period.

Steps to file: Visit settleinfo.com → enter Notice Number if received → select payment method → submit. Or mail/fax Form-R with documentation. Estimated time: 2 minutes (Short-Form); 10 minutes (Form-R). Deadline: August 5, 2026.

Court: Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, consolidated cases. Judge William F. Highberger. Final approval hearing November 19, 2026. 8

5-minute value check: The potential payout here is the highest on this list if participation stays modest. Sprouts operates in 23 US states, concentrated in California, Texas, and the Southwest — if you've shopped there in the last few years, this is worth filing. The Short-Form path is genuinely two minutes if you have a notice.

Hand holding a grocery store receipt at checkout — A Sprouts shopping receipt during the class period showing excess card digits is proof enough for the Form-R path. 8

Google Assistant privacy settlement — deadline August 27

What was the lawsuit: In re Google Assistant Privacy Litigation alleged that Google's Assistant sometimes activated and recorded private conversations without intentional user input — so-called "false accepts," where the assistant misidentified a hot word — and then disclosed those audio recordings to third-party review vendors without users' knowledge, violating privacy rights and Google's own policies. Google denied all allegations. The $68M settlement fund is the largest on this list by a wide margin. 9

Who qualifies: Two separate classes apply:

Purchaser Settlement Class: Individuals who bought a Google-made device (Google Home, Home Mini, Home Max, Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max, or Pixel smartphones) in the US between May 18, 2016 and March 19, 2026. Parents may file on behalf of minors.
Privacy Settlement Class: Individuals whose communications Google Assistant recorded due to false accepts, or whose audio data was sent to third-party review vendors. 9

Payout: Points-based pro-rata system. Purchaser class: 4 points per device, up to 3 devices (maximum 12 points). Privacy class: 1 point per claimant. Dual-eligible claimants can earn up to 13 points. After fees and administration (~$25.3M deducted), approximately $42.7M remains for distribution. Per-point value is determined after the claim window closes. 9

Proof required: Purchaser class — receipts or device records showing the model name and serial/IMEI number for each device. Privacy class — good-faith attestation only, no documentation required.

Steps to file: Visit googleassistantprivacylitigation.com → identify which class(es) apply → provide device proof (Purchaser) or self-attest (Privacy) → select payment method (ACH, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or check) → submit. Estimated time: 3 minutes (Privacy class only); 5–10 minutes (Purchaser class with serial numbers). Deadline: August 27, 2026.

Court: U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (In re Google Assistant Privacy Litigation). Fairness hearing October 1, 2026. 9

5-minute value check: Anyone who owned a Google Home, Nest Hub, or Pixel phone in the past decade is eligible for the Purchaser class — that's a large pool. The Privacy class adds another path for anyone who ever had their Google Assistant fire unexpectedly. Start with the Privacy class attestation (3 minutes, no proof), then add device claims if you can locate serial numbers. With $42.7M to distribute, per-point values could be meaningful.

Google smart speaker on a wooden side table in a sunlit living room — The Google Home and Nest Hub line is at the center of the Purchaser class — owning one during the class period earns 4 points toward the pro-rata payout. 9

Three quick wins right now

If your time is tight, these three have the best combination of payout potential and low friction:

Bank of America ATM fee (June 29 deadline) — former customers with a notice ID should file today. The deadline is four weeks out and requires only 5 minutes.
Sprouts Farmers Market FACTA (August 5 deadline) — if you shopped at Sprouts between 2020–2022, the Short-Form path takes 2 minutes for an estimated $67–$405. No other settlement on this list has a higher per-person ceiling at this filing effort level.
Google Assistant privacy (August 27 deadline) — $68M fund, Privacy class requires only a 3-minute self-attestation. If you've ever used Google Assistant, this is the most accessible path to a portion of the largest fund here.

On payout timing and taxes: Settlement checks typically arrive 6–18 months after the claim deadline, pending final court approval. The IRS treats most settlement proceeds as taxable income — keep a record of what you file and what you receive. Payout amounts for pro-rata settlements like Sprouts and Google Assistant won't be known until after the claim window closes, so the figures above are estimates based on current information. 7
