Canteen Vending Machine Settlement Payments Going Out via Zelle, PayPal & Venmo — Scam or Legit?

Canteen Vending Machine Settlement Payments 2026 - $6.94 Million Jilek v Compass Group Class Action - Zelle PayPal Venmo Payments Going Out Now - Is It a Scam or Legit

Settlement Amount: $6,940,000

Status: Payments Going Out (February 2026)

No Proof of Purchase Was Required

Payment Methods: Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, and Check


If you just got a Zelle notification saying “Jilek v. Compass Group USA Inc dba Canteen Settlement sent you $23.06” — it’s real. It is not a scam. The $6.94 million Canteen vending machine class action settlement is paying out right now, and consumers across the country are receiving legitimate settlement payments via Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, and paper checks in February 2026.

The lawsuit alleged that Canteen — the nation’s largest vending machine operator with over 230,000 machines in workplaces, hospitals, schools, and public buildings — quietly charged customers more when they paid by credit card, debit card, or prepaid card than the price displayed on the machine. The claim process required no proof of purchase, which helped the vending machine settlement go viral on TikTok and Reddit before the November 2025 deadline. But that massive wave of claims also drained the fund, and most people are getting approximately $23 instead of the $30 they were originally promised.

Here is the full history of the Jilek v. Compass Group case, why your vending machine settlement payment is lower than expected, how settlement payments work through Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo, how to verify your payment is legitimate, and what it all means.

Is the Vending Machine Settlement Zelle Payment a Scam?

No. The Canteen vending machine settlement Zelle payment is legitimate. If you filed a claim in the Jilek v. Compass Group settlement and received a Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo payment referencing the case, it is a real settlement disbursement — not a scam.

Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, and paper checks are all court-authorized payment methods under the settlement agreement approved by Senior District Judge John A. Gibney Jr. on January 9, 2026. The payments are being sent by Simpluris, Inc., the court-appointed settlement administrator handling the distribution of the $6.94 million fund.

This is not the first class action settlement to use Zelle and Venmo for payments. In May 2025, the California v. Vitol gas price-fixing settlement sent payments of approximately $22 via Zelle and Venmo to over one million California consumers. That triggered the exact same reaction — widespread confusion about whether the payments were real — and the California Attorney General’s office had to publicly confirm the payments were legitimate. The same thing is happening now with the Canteen vending machine settlement.

How to Verify Your Vending Machine Settlement Payment Is Real

● Check the sender name: Legitimate payments reference “Jilek v. Compass Group USA Inc dba Canteen Settlement” or “Simpluris”

● Check your claim status: If you filed a claim at vendingmachinesettlement.com before November 14, 2025, you are eligible for payment

● No action required: Legitimate settlement payments do not ask you to click links, enter personal information, or provide bank account details

● Contact Simpluris directly: Call (833) 360-6766 or email info@vendingmachinesettlement.com to verify

● Contact your bank: Your bank’s fraud department can confirm the transaction details if you are unsure

● Red flags for actual scams: Be suspicious of any text message or email asking you to click a link, provide your Social Security number, enter bank login credentials, or pay a fee to receive settlement money — real settlements never ask for any of this

If you did not file a claim in this settlement and received an unexpected payment, contact Simpluris at (833) 360-6766 or email info@vendingmachinesettlement.com to verify. You may have filed and forgotten — the claim deadline was over three months ago.

How Much Will You Get from the Canteen Vending Machine Settlement?

Most people who filed claims without proof of purchase are receiving approximately $23 via Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or check. The original base tier payment was $30 for claimants who made 1 to 250 qualifying card purchases at Canteen vending machines. But payments were reduced by approximately 23% on a pro rata basis because far more people filed valid claims than the settlement fund could fully cover.

Here is why the payout is lower than the $30 originally promised. The gross settlement fund was $6.94 million. Before any claimant received a dollar, the following deductions were made:

$6.94 Million Settlement Fund Breakdown

● Attorney Fees: Up to ~$2.31 million (one-third of the fund)

● Administration Costs: ~$850,000 (paid to Simpluris, Inc. for claims processing and payment distribution)

● Service Award: Up to $10,000 for named plaintiff James Jilek

● Net Fund for Claimants: Approximately $3.77 million after all deductions

The settlement went viral on TikTok and Reddit before the November 14, 2025 claim deadline. Videos explaining the “no proof required” vending machine settlement racked up millions of views, and the claims process was exceptionally easy — claimants just needed to state the approximate number of qualifying purchases under penalty of perjury. The result: the $3.77 million net fund was overwhelmed by valid claims, forcing the pro rata reduction across all payment tiers.

Canteen Vending Machine Settlement Payment Tiers and Actual Payouts

The vending machine settlement payment structure was based on the number of card purchases a claimant made at Canteen vending machines between 2014 and July 9, 2025. Here are the original tier amounts alongside the estimated actual payouts after the approximately 23% pro rata reduction:

Payment Tiers: Original vs. Estimated Actual Payout

● 1–250 purchases: $30 original → ~$23.06 actual

● 251–500 purchases: $60 original → ~$46.12 actual

● 501–750 purchases: $90 original → ~$69.19 actual

● 751–1,000 purchases: $120 original → ~$92.25 actual

● 1,001–1,250 purchases: $150 original → ~$115.31 actual

● 1,251–1,500 purchases: $180 original → ~$138.38 actual

● 1,501–1,750 purchases: $210 original → ~$161.44 actual

● 1,751–2,000 purchases: $240 original → ~$184.50 actual

● 2,001–2,250 purchases: $270 original → ~$207.56 actual

● 2,251–2,500 purchases: $300 original → ~$230.63 actual

● Over 2,500 purchases: $360 original → ~$276.75 actual

The exact reduction percentage is the same across all tiers. If you claimed the highest tier and regularly bought snacks, drinks, or other items from Canteen vending machines at your workplace over the full 2014–2025 class period, your payment could be in the mid-$200s.

Why Did I Get an Unexpected Zelle or Venmo Payment from a Settlement?

Class action settlement administrators are increasingly using digital payment apps like Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo to distribute settlement funds instead of mailing paper checks. This is faster for claimants and cheaper for the settlement fund. But it also means many people receive payments they don’t immediately recognize.

If you signed up for a class action settlement months ago and selected Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo as your preferred payment method, the payment may arrive without much advance notice. Unlike a check in the mail, there’s no envelope with a return address to help you remember what the payment is for. The Canteen vending machine settlement is one of several major class action settlements distributing funds this way in 2026.

Settlement payments via Zelle typically appear as a standard Zelle transfer in your banking app. The sender name references the case or settlement administrator. You do not need to click any links, enter passwords, or provide additional information to receive the funds. If a Zelle notification asks you to click a link or provide personal details, that is a red flag for a scam — the real settlement payment just deposits directly.

Simpluris sends the Zelle payment to the phone number or email address you provided when you filed your claim. PayPal and Venmo payments work the same way. If you changed your phone number or email since filing, contact Simpluris at (833) 360-6766 to update your information.

What Was the Canteen Vending Machine Overcharge Lawsuit About?

Compass Group USA operates Canteen, the largest vending machine company in the United States, with over 230,000 machines in workplaces, schools, hospitals, and public locations across 30 states. The lawsuit alleged that many of these machines charged consumers a hidden surcharge when they paid with a credit card, debit card, or prepaid card — without ever disclosing the extra charge.

Named plaintiff James Jilek discovered the price discrepancy when he noticed he was being charged $1.10 for an item with a sticker price of $1.00. In another instance, a package of Skittles priced at $1.25 rang up at $1.35. The machines displayed one price on the label but charged a different, higher price when a card was swiped or tapped. There was no cash discount sticker, no disclosure on the machine, and no way for the consumer to know the card price was higher until after the transaction was completed.

The overcharge typically ranged from $0.05 to $0.25 per transaction. While that sounds small, the scale was enormous. With over 230,000 machines processing millions of card transactions per year across 30 states over a class period spanning more than a decade (2014 to 2025), the total overcharges added up to a massive amount of money quietly extracted from consumers who had no idea they were paying more than the displayed price.

The legal claims included breach of contract — the displayed price constituted an offer that consumers accepted by inserting their card, making the higher charge a breach — and violations of consumer fraud and deceptive trade practices statutes in Missouri, Illinois, California, Texas, and other states. The case was originally filed on October 23, 2018 in St. Louis County, Missouri, and eventually consolidated as a federal case in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina under Case No. 3:23-cv-00818-JAG-DCK.

Compass Group denied all allegations throughout the proceedings and entered the settlement without any admission of wrongdoing.

When Are Vending Machine Settlement Payments Being Sent?

Payments began going out in approximately late February 2026. Here is the full timeline from lawsuit to payment:

Complete Settlement Timeline

● October 23, 2018: Original lawsuit filed in St. Louis County, Missouri

● October 14, 2021: Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint filed

● April 25, 2025: Settlement agreement reached between parties

● May 14, 2025: Settlement filed with the court

● July 9, 2025: Preliminary approval granted

● November 14, 2025: Claim form deadline (passed)

● October 17, 2025: Opt-out and objection deadline (passed)

● January 9, 2026: Final approval hearing and final approval granted

● February 8, 2026: Last day to appeal (30 days after final approval)

● ~February 22, 2026: Settlement payments begin going out (approximately 14 days after appeal period)

The litigation was extensive. Compass filed multiple motions to dismiss and challenged expert witness testimony. Discovery involved voluminous document production, interrogatories, and numerous depositions. Plaintiff’s motion for class certification was fully briefed but never ruled on — the parties reached a settlement before the court decided the motion. From filing to first payment, the case took over seven years.

Senior District Judge John A. Gibney Jr. presided over the case, with Magistrate Judge David C. Keesler. The final approval hearing took place on January 9, 2026.

No Proof of Purchase Was Required — And That’s Why Payouts Are Lower

The Canteen vending machine settlement’s claims process was notably frictionless. This was a no proof required class action settlement, meaning claimants simply needed to state, under penalty of perjury, the approximate number of qualifying purchases they made from a Canteen vending machine using a credit, debit, or prepaid card between 2014 and July 9, 2025, along with the city and state of those purchases. No receipts, no transaction records, no bank statements, and no screenshots were needed.

Claims could be submitted online at vendingmachinesettlement.com, by mail, or by requesting a paper form at (833) 360-6766 or info@vendingmachinesettlement.com.

The low barrier to entry, combined with the settlement going viral on TikTok and Reddit where creators and communities focused on “free money” class action opportunities promoted it heavily, drove claim volume far beyond what the fund could fully cover. The “no proof required” aspect made it particularly attractive to the growing community of class action stacking enthusiasts who systematically file claims in every available settlement. This is ultimately why every claimant’s payment was reduced on a pro rata basis rather than paid at the full tier amount.

Which States Qualify for the Vending Machine Settlement?

The Canteen vending machine settlement covers purchases made in 30 states. You were eligible to file a claim if you made a qualifying card purchase from a Canteen vending machine in any of the following states between 2014 and July 9, 2025:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Canteen vending machines are commonly found in office break rooms, factory floors, hospital cafeterias, university buildings, government offices, and military bases. If you worked in or regularly visited a building with vending machines in any of these 30 states, there is a good chance the machines were operated by Canteen, as Compass Group is the dominant vending operator in the United States.

The 20 states not covered by this settlement either had insufficient consumer protection statutes for the specific claims alleged, had too few qualifying machines to justify inclusion, or presented other legal obstacles. The settlement was limited to “Subject Vending Machines” — Canteen-operated machines that offered both cash and card payment but charged a higher undisclosed price for card transactions. Machines that displayed a cash discount sticker, showed both cash and card prices, or used a digital shopping cart screen were excluded.

This Is NOT the Vending Machine Fingerprint Settlement

There is widespread confusion online between two separate lawsuits involving Compass Group and vending machines. They are completely different cases. Here is the difference:

Jilek v. Compass Group USA (the settlement paying out now in February 2026) is about hidden card surcharges at vending machines. Consumers were charged more than the displayed price when paying with a card. The $6.94 million settlement required no proof of purchase and covered 30 states. Claims are closed and payments are being distributed.

Bryant v. Compass Group USA (fully resolved and closed since 2022) was a completely separate case alleging that Compass Group and 365 Retail Markets violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by requiring employees to scan fingerprints at workplace vending kiosks without written notice or consent. That biometric fingerprint case settled for $6.8 million, received final approval on September 8, 2022, and claimants received approximately $413 each. It is fully closed and no longer accepting claims or distributing payments.

The confusion stems from both lawsuits targeting the same corporate defendant’s vending machine operations, both settling for nearly identical amounts ($6.94M vs. $6.8M), and both being widely discussed online. If you are receiving a payment now in February 2026, it is from the Jilek card surcharge case, not the Bryant fingerprint case.

What If I Got a Very Small Payment Like $3.29 or $19.76?

Some claimants are reporting vending machine settlement payments as low as $3.29 or $19.76 instead of the approximately $23 base-tier payout. There are a few possible explanations:

A $19.76 payment represents approximately 65.9% of the $30 base tier and may reflect a pro rata reduction applied at a slightly different rate, possibly from an earlier distribution wave or a different calculation of the net fund balance.

A $3.29 payment is most likely a residual or “second round” distribution. After all initial pro rata payments are issued, any leftover balance in the fund — including rounding differences, returned payments from invalid addresses, and uncashed checks — is redistributed among claimants. These very small amounts represent your share of the residual cents left in the fund after the primary distribution.

Both types of payments are legitimate. The settlement fund is non-reversionary, meaning no money goes back to Compass Group under any circumstances. Every remaining dollar gets distributed either to claimants through these residual payments or to court-approved charities through a cy pres distribution if checks go uncashed for 180 days.

How Settlement Payments Work Through Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo

The Canteen vending machine settlement is part of a growing trend of class action settlements using digital payment apps instead of traditional paper checks. Here is how the process works for each payment method:

Zelle: Simpluris sends the payment directly to the phone number or email address you provided on your claim form. The payment appears as a standard Zelle transfer in your banking app. If your bank supports Zelle, the money deposits automatically. There is no link to click and no information to provide. The sender name will reference the settlement case name.

PayPal: The payment is sent to the PayPal account associated with the email address on your claim form. You will receive a PayPal notification. The funds go directly into your PayPal balance, which you can transfer to your bank account.

Venmo: Similar to PayPal, the payment is sent to your Venmo account based on the contact information you provided. You will see a Venmo notification and the funds will appear in your Venmo balance.

Paper Check: If you selected check as your payment method, a physical check will be mailed to the address on your claim form. Checks must be deposited within 180 days or the funds will be forfeited and donated to court-approved charities.

If you changed your phone number, email address, or mailing address since filing your claim, contact Simpluris at (833) 360-6766 or info@vendingmachinesettlement.com to update your information. If your digital payment was returned because of an incorrect phone number or email, Simpluris may attempt to send a paper check instead.

What Is a Pro Rata Payment in a Class Action Settlement?

A pro rata payment means the settlement fund is divided proportionally among all valid claimants rather than paying each person the full promised amount. When more people file valid claims than the fund can cover at the original payment amounts, every claimant’s payment is reduced by the same percentage.

In the Canteen vending machine settlement, the approximately $3.77 million net fund (after deducting attorney fees, administration costs, and the plaintiff service award from the gross $6.94 million) was divided among all valid claimants. Because the number of claims exceeded what the fund could pay at full value, payments were reduced by approximately 23% across the board. Someone owed $30 received about $23.06. Someone owed $360 received about $276.75. The reduction percentage is the same for everyone.

Pro rata reductions are common in class action settlements that go viral or receive significant media attention, because the surge in claims typically exceeds the settlement fund’s capacity. Settlements that require proof of purchase tend to have fewer claims filed and can often pay the full amount. Settlements with no proof required, like this one, almost always end up with pro rata reductions because the low barrier to entry encourages maximum participation.

What Should You Do Now?

If you received a Canteen vending machine settlement payment via Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or check, accept or deposit it. No further action is required on your part. The payment is yours.

If you received a paper check, deposit it within 180 days. If you do not cash it within that window, the funds will be forfeited and donated to court-approved charities through a cy pres distribution. Do not let the check expire.

If you are unsure whether a payment is legitimate, contact Simpluris directly at (833) 360-6766 or email info@vendingmachinesettlement.com to verify. Do not click any links in text messages or emails claiming to be from the settlement unless they direct to vendingmachinesettlement.com.

Real settlement administrators never ask for this information after you have already filed.

Keep records of all payments received for tax purposes. Class action payouts may be taxable, and you may receive a 1099 form if your total payments exceed IRS reporting thresholds. Consult a tax advisor if you have questions about the tax implications.

If you filed a claim and received a Zelle payment referencing “Jilek v. Compass Group USA Inc dba Canteen Settlement,” it is a legitimate settlement disbursement. Real settlement payments never ask you to click links or provide personal information.


Why did I get $23 instead of $30 from the vending machine settlement?
The settlement went viral on TikTok and Reddit, driving far more claims than the $3.77 million net fund could fully cover. Payments were reduced on a pro rata basis by approximately 23% across all tiers. A $30 base tier payment became approximately $23.06.


When are vending machine settlement payments being sent?
Payments began going out in late February 2026, approximately 14 days after the appeal period ended on February 8, 2026. The settlement received final approval on January 9, 2026.


How much did people get from the Canteen vending machine settlement?
Reported amounts vary by tier. Base-tier claimants (1–250 purchases) report receiving approximately $23. Higher-tier claimants could receive up to approximately $277. Some claimants report smaller amounts like $3.29 or $19.76, which may represent residual distributions or earlier payment waves.


Can I still file a claim for the vending machine settlement?
No. The claim deadline was November 14, 2025 and has passed. The settlement received final approval on January 9, 2026 and payments are now being distributed. No new claims are being accepted.


Was proof of purchase required for the vending machine settlement?
No. This was a no proof required settlement. Claimants simply needed to state under penalty of perjury the approximate number of qualifying card purchases and the city and state where they were made. No receipts, bank statements, or transaction records were needed.


Is this the vending machine fingerprint settlement?
No. This settlement (Jilek v. Compass Group) is about hidden card surcharges, not fingerprint scanning. The separate Bryant v. Compass Group BIPA fingerprint case settled for $6.8 million in 2022 and is fully closed. If you are getting paid now in 2026, it is from the card surcharge case.


What states are covered by the vending machine settlement?
30 states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.


Why did I get an unexpected Zelle payment from a settlement?
If you filed a class action claim months ago and selected Zelle as your payment method, the payment may arrive without advance notice. Unlike a check in the mail, Zelle payments just appear in your banking app. The Canteen vending machine settlement is one of several class actions using digital payment apps for distribution in 2026.


How do class action settlements pay through Zelle?
The settlement administrator sends a Zelle payment to the phone number or email you provided on your claim form. It appears as a standard transfer in your banking app. No link to click, no information to provide. If you changed your phone number or email since filing, contact Simpluris at (833) 360-6766.


Why did I get a second smaller payment from the vending machine settlement?
After all initial pro rata payments are distributed, any leftover balance — including rounding differences and returned payments — is redistributed to claimants rather than reverting to Compass Group. Small payments of a few dollars represent your share of residual funds.


What is a pro rata payment?
A pro rata payment means the fund is divided proportionally among all claimants. When more people file claims than the fund can cover at full amounts, every payment is reduced by the same percentage. In this settlement, payments were reduced by approximately 23%.


Are class action settlement payments taxable?
Possibly. Payouts may be taxable if they exceed IRS reporting thresholds. The settlement notice advises consulting a tax advisor. Keep records of all payments received for tax purposes.


How do I verify my vending machine settlement payment is legitimate?
