California residents stack an additional $50 under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), for a combined approximately $150 cash payment.

2. Google Assistant Privacy Class Action Settlement — Pro Rata Share of $68M Fund
The largest fund on this list. Google-Made Device buyers (Google Home, Google Home Mini, Google Home Max, Google Nest Hub, Google Nest Hub Max, and all Pixel smartphones purchased May 18, 2016 to March 19, 2026) and Google Assistant users whose communications were recorded by False Accepts can claim a pro rata share of the $68 million Settlement Fund. The claim form uses self-attestation; no receipts, serial numbers, or purchase records are required. The point allocation gives 4 points per Google-Made Device (capped at 3 devices, max 12 points) plus 1 point for Privacy Class membership.Claim deadline: August 27, 2026

3. Circle K (Gas Express) Data Incident Settlement — $50 Cash + 2 Years Credit Monitoring
A solid baseline data breach claim. Class members who received a notice from Circle K (Gas Express, LLC) about the May 2024 data breach can claim a flat $50 cash payment (Cash Payment B) plus two years of free CyEx Financial Shield Complete credit monitoring with $1 million in fraud insurance. Class members with documented identity theft losses can alternatively claim up to $2,000 (Cash Payment A, receipts required) instead of the $50. Note the 700-claim cap on Cash Payment B; file early to avoid the cap.Claim deadline: September 3, 2026

4. Bank of America ATM Fee Settlement — Pro Rata Share of $2.25M Fund
The friendliest claim process for current Bank of America customers. Current accountholders who were double-charged out-of-network balance inquiry fees at FCTI-owned ATMs inside 7-Eleven stores between May 1, 2018 and November 16, 2021 do not need to file a claim at all; Bank of America will apply the pro rata payment from the $2.25 million Settlement Fund directly to the account. Former accountholders must file a claim by the deadline using the Class Member ID from the Email Notice or Postcard Notice mailed by the Settlement Administrator. If you cannot locate your notice, you can request your Class Member ID through the official Settlement Website.Claim deadline: June 29, 2026

5. Team Group DRAM Class Action Settlement — Pro Rata Per RAM Module, Up to 5 Per Household
The gamer and PC builder pick. Anyone who bought Team Group or T-Force brand DDR-3, DDR-4, or DDR-5 memory modules between May 3, 2020 and April 8, 2026 can claim a pro rata share of the $1.1 million Settlement Fund based on the number of modules purchased. Households claiming up to 5 modules can file by self-attestation; households claiming 6 or more modules must provide receipts or order confirmations for the additional products beyond the first 5. Covered product lines include T-Force Vulcan, Dark, Delta RGB, Xtreem, Night Hawk, Elite, and others.Claim deadline: July 7, 2026

6. Ashley Furniture Mattress Fiberglass Settlement — Voucher Per Mattress
Anyone who bought an affected mattress from Ashley Furniture, Nectar Sleep, DreamCloud Sleep, or Siena Sleep between October 1, 2017 and June 30, 2024 can claim a pro rata voucher per Affected Mattress from the $9 million Common Voucher Fund. The voucher is redeemable at AshleyFurniture.com, NectarSleep.com, DreamCloudSleep.com, and SienaSleep.com. Filing uses self-attestation; receipts are not required. If attorneys' fees are awarded at less than $3 million, the difference is paid as pro rata cash to class members.

7. Maxar Space Data Breach Settlement — $80 Cash + $100 California + Up to $3,500 Documented
Another strong data breach claim with stackable benefits.

8. Cosequin Joint Supplement Settlement (California Only) — $25 Per Product Up to $150
The California-residents-only pick on this list. California residents who bought Nutramax Cosequin joint supplements for dogs between May 2016 and May 2022 can claim $25 per product, up to a maximum of $150 (6 products) by self-attestation. The settlement resolves claims that Nutramax falsely advertised the joint-health effectiveness of the supplements. Eligible products include Cosequin DS, Cosequin Maximum Strength Plus MSM, Cosequin Senior, and other Cosequin variants sold during the class period. For California residents with multiple dogs who purchased Cosequin regularly, the full $150 maximum is realistic.Claim deadline: July 21, 2026

Bonus: BCBS Payments Are Arriving Right Now (No New Claims)
Not a claimable settlement but important context for May 2026: the Blue Cross Blue Shield $2.67 billion antitrust subscriber settlement officially began distributing payments on May 11, 2026. Approximately 6 million approved Damages Class members who filed claims before the November 5, 2021 deadline are now receiving payments in rolling waves, with virtual prepaid cards as the dominant first-wave delivery method. The average payout is approximately $333 per claim per USA Today reporting. If you filed in 2021, check the email you used at filing time and watch for virtual prepaid card delivery from JND Legal Administration. New claims are not being accepted because the deadline passed in 2021.See OCA's live coverage of the BCBS settlement payments arrival update for the latest distribution news.
How to File These Settlements (5-Minute Walkthrough)
Filing a class action claim takes 2 to 5 minutes for each settlement. The process is similar across most cases:• Visit the official Settlement Website. Use the links above to navigate from each OCA settlement page to the official Settlement Administrator portal. Never file through a third-party link asking for a fee, gift cards, or cryptocurrency.
• Provide your name, address, and email. The Settlement Administrator verifies class membership against the defendant's records. For data breach settlements, you typically need the Class Member ID from the email or postcard notice mailed to you. For self-attestation settlements (Team Group, Ashley Furniture, Cosequin), no notice is required.
• Select your benefits. Most data breach settlements have checkboxes for cash payment, CCPA payment if a California resident, credit monitoring, and (separately) documented losses reimbursement. The cash payments and credit monitoring typically require no receipts. The documented losses reimbursement requires bank statements or receipts.
• Select your payment method. Common options include PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, virtual prepaid card (delivered by email), or paper check. Electronic methods are faster than physical check by U.S. mail.
• Submit and save the confirmation. The Settlement Administrator sends an email confirmation with a claim ID. Save the confirmation in case you need to follow up about payment status later.
Stack Multiple Settlements: The Realistic Math for May 2026
For a California resident who qualifies for multiple settlements, the cumulative cash and benefits available in May 2026 can be substantial. As an example:• Fidelity Data Breach: $100 cash + $50 CCPA + 2 years credit monitoring
• Maxar Space Data Breach: $80 cash + $100 CCPA + 3 years credit monitoring
• Circle K Data Incident: $50 cash + 2 years credit monitoring
• Cosequin (California only): up to $150 ($25 per product, 6 products max)
• Google Assistant Privacy: pro rata cash (Google-Made Device buyers and Privacy Class)
• Bank of America ATM Fee: pro rata cash (auto-applied for current accountholders)
• Team Group DRAM: pro rata cash per module (PC builders)
• Ashley Furniture Mattress Fiberglass: voucher per mattress
Filing all eligible claims takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes total across the settlements. The cumulative benefit for a California resident can be a few hundred dollars in cash plus multiple years of credit monitoring.
When Will I Get Paid From These Settlements?
Payment timing varies by settlement but follows a similar general pattern:• Final Approval Hearing: Each settlement has a fairness hearing where the court grants final approval. For the 8 settlements in this list, fairness hearings range from July 9, 2026 (Fidelity) through October 1, 2026 (Google Assistant).
• Appeal window: Generally 30 days after final approval. If no appeals are filed, the settlement becomes effective.
• Payment distribution: Typically 6 to 12 months after the settlement becomes effective. Realistic distribution timing for the May 2026 settlements is late 2026 through mid 2027.
• If appeals are filed: Distribution can be delayed by 12 to 36 months while the appellate court reviews the settlement or fee award.
File your claims now so that when distribution begins, your claim is in the system and the Settlement Administrator has your current contact information.
Watch Out for Class Action Settlement Scams
With multiple major settlements paying out simultaneously through 2026, scam activity targeting class members has increased significantly. Treat every email, text, or call about a class action settlement with appropriate skepticism. Red flags that the contact is not legitimate:• Requests for payment up-front. Legitimate class action settlements never require an "activation fee," "release fee," or "tax payment" to receive your benefit.
• Requests for full Social Security Numbers, banking credentials, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. Settlement Administrators verify class membership using the defendant's records, not by asking for fresh sensitive data.
• Shortened or unfamiliar links. Each official Settlement Website is linked from the OCA settlement page for that case. Avoid bit.ly, tinyurl, or unfamiliar URLs.
• Urgency or fear-based pressure. Legitimate Administrator emails give recipients reasonable time to respond. Anyone telling you to act within hours or lose your settlement is creating false urgency.
