Three claims close by Oct. 12 — and up to $95 an iPhone
Three claims expire inside two weeks — Sugared + Bronzed texts, Urban One's data-incident fund, and prepaid release cards — followed by a $2 million telehealth settlement, a $5 CVS claim, and up to $95 per iPhone from Apple's AI advertising settlement.
Three of this week's open class-action claims expire inside two weeks, and the first closes Friday. The two biggest numbers below — up to $500 from a data-incident fund at Urban One and up to $95 an iPhone from Apple's $250 million AI settlement — are ceilings attached to a pro-rata split, so read them as the outer edge of what a claimant could see.
Class-action checks are usually small. A typical payment in this batch lands between $5 and $30, and one entry pays $5 to anyone who has ever opened the CVS app. Filing makes sense when the official class definition already covers you and the form takes a few minutes. When it doesn't, skip it without guilt.
Short version
| Settlement | Claim deadline | Realistic value | Proof or access gate | Direct filing path |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugared + Bronzed texts | October 2, 2026 | A pro-rata share of a $750,000 fund; the notice estimates $110–$222 | Your phone number; the brand's own records have to place you in the class | File on the settlement site |
| Urban One data incident | October 12, 2026 | Up to $500, pro rata, on the cash option that needs no proof; a $675,000 fund | Nothing on that option | File on the settlement site |
| Hall release cards | October 12, 2026 | A minimum of $15 plus three times the fees on your card | The state and facility where you were released | File with the administrator |
| LiveHealth Online bookings | October 30, 2026 | A pro-rata share of $2,037,751.46; the notice estimates $51.14–$102.29 | Self-attestation | File on the settlement site |
| CVS digital properties | November 16, 2026 | $5 without documents; $10 with them | None for the $5 tier | File on the settlement site |
| Apple iPhone AI | December 21, 2026 | $25 per device, adjusted up or down to a $95 ceiling | Confirming the purchase; no receipt | File on the settlement site |
Every figure comes from the filed settlement terms or the administrator's own notice. Where a payment is pro rata, the administrator divides the fund by the total of valid claims, so your share moves with how many other people file. The links in the last column open the case-specific claim forms, and those forms are the only places worth filing.
Closing in the next two weeks
Sugared + Bronzed texts — October 2 (4 days)
The lawsuit. Zoe Grippo v. Sugared + Bronzed, LLC, Case No. 8:24-cv-01792-AB-DFM, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiff says the tanning brand kept texting people after they asked it to stop, which the Telephone Consumer Protection Act forbids. Sugared + Bronzed denies wrongdoing. 1
Who qualifies. Anyone who received two or more marketing texts, inside a single 12-month window between August 14, 2020 and July 17, 2026, sent through the brand's Klaviyo account after replying with a stop message — STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, NOOFFERS, NO OFFERS, OPT OUT, END or QUIT. 2 The class runs nationwide.
What it is worth. $750,000, non-reversionary, with up to 25% for class counsel, up to $51,000 for notice and administration and up to $10,000 for the class representative paid out first. The court notice estimates $110 to $222 for each approved claimant, then adds that the real figure moves with how many people file. 2 That estimate runs high for a text case because the brand's own records decide who is in, which keeps the pool small.
Proof and access. None. You need no receipt, no notice ID and no PIN. The claim form asks for your details and your signature. 3
Deadline. October 2, 2026, online or postmarked, and exclusions and objections close the same day. Final approval hearing November 20, 2026. 2
Five-minute value check. Open your messages app and search "Sugared". Two or more texts that arrived after you told the brand to stop put you in the class, and the ceiling on this one is the highest of anything closing this week.
Urban One data incident — October 12 (14 days)
The lawsuit. Gomian Konneh v. Urban One, Inc., Case No. 8:25-cv-01460-PX, U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Urban One, the group behind Radio One, TV One and Reach Media, was hit by a cyberattack in March 2025 that reached files holding personal information. Urban One denies wrongdoing. 4
Who qualifies. Everyone living in the United States whose private information was potentially exposed in that March 2025 incident, which includes everyone who received a notice about it. 4
What it is worth. $675,000 in all, divided between two paths. The cash path is a one-time pro-rata payment of up to $500 that asks for nothing beyond the claim form. 4 The second path reimburses documented losses up to $10,000 and pays lost time at $25 an hour, up to $375, of which the first four hours (up to $100) can be claimed on your word and the rest needs records. 4 The $675,000 covers both paths plus fees, so heavy claim volume cuts every share.
Proof and access. The cash path needs no proof and no explanation. 4 The online form takes a name, an address and a confirmation that you belong to the class. 5
Deadline. October 12, 2026. Exclusions and objections closed September 12 and the fairness hearing was held September 25, so approval can come shortly after the claim window shuts. 5
Five-minute value check. If a letter about the Urban One breach arrived in the last year, you are in this class and the cash option is the one to take. Everything it asks for sits on the form itself.
Hall release cards — October 12 (14 days)
The lawsuit. Hall v. Rapid Investments, LLC and Axiom Bank, N.A., Case No. 3:25-cv-05039-BHS, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The suit says the two companies returned people's own money on fee-charging prepaid debit cards instead of by cash or check, which the complaint says breaks the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. Both defendants deny wrongdoing. 6
Who qualifies. Anyone in the United States who was taken into custody at a jail, correctional facility, detention center or other law-enforcement facility, was owed the return of money taken from them or left in an inmate account, and was issued a release card by Rapid Financial Solutions or Axiom Bank between January 16, 2024 and June 30, 2026. 6
What it is worth. $4,200,000, non-reversionary. Each valid claim pays a minimum of $15.00 plus three times the fees charged against the card, counting inactivity fees as though a February 2026 reload of those fees had never happened. 6 Class counsel expects the fund to cover every valid claim, without guaranteeing it.
Proof and access. No documents. The claim asks for your name, address and the state and facility where you were released, which means the card itself can be long gone. 7 A claim can also go in by email or phone. 6
Deadline. October 12, 2026, and claims have to be received by then rather than postmarked. Exclusions and objections close October 2, and the fairness hearing is October 19, 2026. 6
Five-minute value check. Did you walk out of a jail or detention center with a prepaid card between January 2024 and this June? The $15 floor is the smallest headline figure here; the multiplier lifts it for anyone who left money on the card.
Open and newly filed
LiveHealth Online's booking tool — $51 to $102 by October 30
The lawsuit. Polk v. American Well Corp., Case No. 25CV026746, Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento. American Well, which runs the LiveHealth Online telehealth service, is accused of passing users' medical information and confidential communications to third parties without permission, in breach of federal wiretap law and California privacy statutes. American Well denies breaking any law. 8
Who qualifies. Everyone in the United States who used the appointment booking tool on the LiveHealth Online website, its iPhone app or its Android app between October 2024 and August 2025. 8 Scheduling the visit is what counts, whether or not the appointment happened.
What it is worth. $2,037,751.46, split pro rata among everyone who files. The court notice puts each share at approximately $51.14 to $102.29, an estimate because the divisor is the number of valid claims. 9 Payment arrives by check, PayPal or Venmo 45 days after the settlement becomes final. 8
Proof and access. Self-attestation on one online claim form, with nothing to upload. 10
Deadline. October 30, 2026, for the claim and for any exclusion or objection. Final approval hearing January 15, 2027. 8
Five-minute value check. Search your email or app store history for a LiveHealth Online confirmation dated inside those ten months. This is the only entry this week whose expected payment sits in the double digits on a form that asks you to attest rather than document.
CVS digital properties — $5 by November 16
The lawsuit. Brewer, et al. v. CVS Pharmacy, Inc. and Criteo Corp., Case No. CACE-26-008094, Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit, Broward County, Florida. The claim is that CVS passed data about people using its website and app to advertising technology partners. CVS and Criteo deny breaking any law. 11
Who qualifies. Everyone in the United States who used a CVS digital property — cvs.com, cvshealth.com or the CVS app — at any point before July 27, 2026. 11 Checking a prescription status or clipping a digital coupon puts you in the class.
What it is worth. Up to $5.00 filed without documentation, or up to $10.00 with proof of membership in the class. Payments can shrink proportionately if claims run high. 12
Proof and access. None for the $5 tier, which makes the claim form the whole task. 11
Deadline. November 16, 2026. Exclusions and objections close November 1, and the fairness hearing is December 1, 2026, held by video. 12
Five-minute value check. Five dollars is the honest description, and it is the smallest number on the page. The only question is whether a CVS page has ever loaded on your phone or laptop.
Apple's iPhone AI settlement — $25 a device, up to $95, by December 21
The lawsuit. Landsheft, et al. v. Apple Inc., Case No. 5:25-cv-02668, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs say Apple marketed enhanced Siri features that arrived with Apple Intelligence on the iPhone 16 line and on certain iPhone 15 models before those features actually worked. Apple denies wrongdoing. 13
Who qualifies. People who bought an iPhone 15 Pro, an iPhone 15 Pro Max or any iPhone 16 model between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025. 1314
What it is worth. $250 million in all. A valid claim starts at $25 per eligible device, and the per-device figure is adjusted up or down with a $95 maximum. 13 Because the payment is calculated per eligible device, a household that replaced two phones inside that window has two claims.
Proof and access. No receipt. You confirm the device you bought, and the settlement site is the filing route. 14
Deadline. December 21, 2026. 14
Five-minute value check. Anyone who upgraded to an iPhone 16 or a Pro-model 15 in those ten months has a claim. Its December deadline also leaves the most room of anything here.
Three quick wins
- File Apple once per device. The payment is calculated per eligible device, so two qualifying phones in one household mean two claims rather than one.
- Take Urban One's cash option if you have no paperwork. The documented-loss path pays more in theory and asks for records after the first four hours. The cash path pays up to $500 pro rata and asks for nothing.
- For the Hall claim, skip the card and file online. The form wants the state and the facility where you were released. October 12 is a received-by date, so a mailed claim has to arrive on time rather than be postmarked.
Not on this week's list
The Amazon return-policy settlement, In re: Amazon Return Policy Litigation, Case No. 2:23-cv-01372-JNW in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, carries the largest fund in this week's research at $309.5 million and takes claims until December 1, 2026. 15 It is missing from the recommendations because Subclass A members are paid automatically, while Subclass B members must file a claim with supporting documentation that shows their membership. 16
