More than 70 class action settlements that OpenClassActions tracks stop accepting claims during August 2026 — among them Google Assistant, Costco, YouTube TV, Fandango and BMW. This is the deadline-ordered rundown of the biggest ones, with the handful that need no proof called out first.
What Is Closing in August
August is a heavy month. More than 70 settlements we track have claim or election deadlines between August 3 and August 31, 2026, and the list runs from a $586 million federal fraud remission program down to $10 supplement refunds. Everything below is open as of August 1, 2026 and can still be filed.The single most useful sorting question is not how large the fund is — it is what the claim form asks you for. A few of these take an attestation and nothing else. Most require a Notice ID, Claim ID or PIN printed on a mailed or emailed notice, which means you cannot file if you never received one. A smaller group pays automatically, where the August date is an opt-out deadline rather than a claim deadline. Those three groups are separated out below.
Start Here: The Ones That Need No Proof
These are the settlements where the claim form does not require receipts, records, or an administrator-issued code. If you qualify, they take a few minutes.• $68M Google Assistant Privacy Settlement — deadline August 27, 2026. The largest no-proof settlement closing this month, covering people whose conversations were allegedly captured by unintended Google Assistant activations.
• Costco $14M Washington Email Settlement — deadline August 24, 2026. Equal pro rata cash for Washington residents who received a Costco marketing email between June 2, 2021 and July 7, 2026. You attest that you received one; the Claim ID and PIN are optional.
• Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate Settlement — deadline passed August 7, 2026. Claims are closed; a final approval hearing is set for October 15, 2026.
• Permobil SpeedControl Dial $4.1M Settlement — deadline August 31, 2026. Covers SmartDrive MX2+ wheelchair power assist users.
One caution that applies site-wide: a settlement advertising "no documentation needed" is not the same as no proof. If the online portal will not let you file without a code from the notice, that code is functionally proof of class membership. Check the actual claim form, not the benefit description.

Automatic Payments — No Claim Form to File
On a few August settlements there is nothing to submit. Class members are paid automatically, and the August date is an opt-out or election deadline instead of a claim deadline. The $3M Las Vegas Grand Prix F1 ticket settlement (August 27 for transferred tickets) and the AT&T Washington meal and rest break wage settlement (August 6) both work this way.If you are in one of those classes, the useful step is confirming the administrator has your current address or payment details, not filing a form. Payment arrives whether or not you ever touch the settlement website.
How to Decide Which to Check First
With this many deadlines in one month, working through them in a sensible order matters more than reading every page. A practical sequence:• Search your email for the administrator's notice. Most of these settlements are gated on a Notice ID, Claim ID or PIN, and the notice is the only place that code appears. If you have the email, you are eligible and filing takes minutes.
• Do the no-proof settlements next. They require nothing but an attestation, so there is no research cost to filing if you qualify.
• Then handle anything with a real dollar figure attached — the $115 Albany Park credit, the roughly $92 YouTube TV payment, the Copa América ticket claims — where the payout justifies digging up documentation.
• Leave the securities settlements for last unless you know you held the stock. Estée Lauder, SolarEdge and Shoals all require brokerage records and cover a specific class period, so they are worth the effort only for actual shareholders.
You can also work from the live list rather than this article. Our open settlements page and the home page are sorted so the broadest, no-proof cases sit near the top, and both are updated as deadlines pass.
Before You File
Two things are worth repeating every month. First, deadlines are stated by the administrator and occasionally carry a specific time zone; when a settlement gives only a date, do not assume it runs to midnight where you live. File earlier than the last day if you can.Second, you never pay to file a claim or to receive a settlement payment. No legitimate administrator charges a fee, asks for a payment to "release" money, or requires a gift card or wire transfer. Anything that does is a scam, and settlement deadline months reliably produce a wave of them. File only through the official court-approved settlement website linked from each settlement's page.
August's deadlines have now passed. The settlements still taking claims, and the ten closing inside the month, are in our roundup of the class action settlements you can claim in September 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which August 2026 class action settlements require no proof?
Several of the larger August settlements let you file without receipts or an administrator-issued code. They include the $68 million Google Assistant privacy settlement (August 27), the $14 million Costco Washington email settlement (August 24), the Nutricost magnesium glycinate supplement settlement (August 7) and the $4.1 million Permobil SpeedControl Dial settlement (August 31). Read each settlement's own claim form before assuming it is proof-free, because a required Notice ID or Claim ID counts as proof even when no receipts are requested.
What is the largest class action settlement with an August 2026 deadline?
By fund size, the largest is the Western Union fraud remission program's third phase, which is distributing about $586 million to people defrauded through Western Union transfers between 2004 and 2020. Its filing deadline is August 19, 2026. Among conventional class settlements, the $210 million Estée Lauder securities settlement (August 5) and the $68 million Google Assistant privacy settlement (August 27) are the biggest.
Do I have to file a claim to get paid?
Usually yes, but not always. A few August settlements pay class members automatically with no claim form, including the $3 million Las Vegas Grand Prix ticket settlement and the AT&T Washington meal and rest break settlement. On those, the August date is an opt-out or election deadline rather than a claim deadline. Every other settlement listed here requires you to submit a claim before its deadline or you receive nothing.
Can I still file if the deadline is a few days away?
Yes. Claims are accepted until the stated deadline, and most administrators take online submissions up to the final day. Check the official settlement website for the exact cutoff, including any stated time zone, because a date without a time zone should not be assumed to run until midnight in your own time zone.
How much will these class action settlements pay?
It varies by settlement and is often not fixed. Some list a set amount, such as about $115 from Albany Park or roughly $92 from the YouTube TV auto-renewal settlement. Most pay pro rata, meaning the fund is divided among valid claims, so the final figure depends on how many people file and on court-approved fees and costs. Treat any stated estimate as an estimate until the administrator confirms your payment.
What happens if I miss an August 2026 claim deadline?
You generally lose the right to claim from that fund, and in most class settlements you also remain bound by the release, meaning you give up the right to sue over the same conduct. Deadlines are occasionally extended by the court, but no extension should be assumed. If you think you qualify, file before the date rather than waiting.
Is it safe to file a class action claim online?
Filing through the official court-approved settlement website is the standard process. You never have to pay a fee to file a claim or to receive a settlement payment, and no legitimate administrator will ask you to pay to release money that is owed to you. Treat any message demanding payment, or any site that is not the official administrator's, as a red flag.
