Seventeen class action settlements are open to claims in October 2026, and six of them take a claim with no receipt, led by the $117 million pork price-fixing settlement, the $15 million Bestway above-ground pool settlement and the $59.5 million Flo period-tracker settlement. Sixteen of the seventeen close in October, starting with the Sugared + Bronzed text message settlement on October 2.
What You Can Claim in October 2026
Seventeen class action settlements are open to claims during October 2026 — 17 of them still open as of today. Sixteen close inside the month. This edition is ordered by how easy and how broad each claim is rather than by date: the 6 cases that take an attestation instead of a receipt come first, broadest class first, followed by the cases that need a notice ID or records. The dated calendar is further down.Most of these are still waiting on a final approval hearing, and money moves only after a court approves a settlement and any appeals are resolved. Filing now is what preserves your place in line; it is not a payment date. A settlement is an agreement to end a case, not a finding that anyone did anything wrong, and none of the defendants on this list has been found liable.

The No-Proof Settlements, Broadest First
These six take a claim on your word. Each form still asks you to certify, under penalty of perjury, that you belong to the class, so read the eligibility window before you file.The $117.065 million pork price-fixing settlement has the widest reach. Anyone who bought raw pork or bacon at a grocery store in one of 24 states between June 28, 2014 and June 30, 2018 can claim a pro rata share, with no documentation at filing and no notice ID. The complaint alleges that pork processors inflated and stabilized prices; the companies deny it and no court has found any of them liable. Claims close October 29, 2026, ahead of a December 11, 2026 final approval hearing. No per-person figure has been published.
The $15 million Bestway above-ground pool settlement pays $40 without a receipt, or 10% of the price paid with proof of purchase, for Bestway-branded pools 48 inches or taller with compression straps outside the support poles, sold between 2008 and 2024. The Settlement Claim ID is optional, but the form asks for the pool's brand, dimensions and model or serial number, and payments may be adjusted pro rata. One claim per household; claims close October 30, 2026.
The $59.5 million Flo period-tracker privacy settlement covers U.S. users who logged period or pregnancy data in the Flo app between November 2016 and February 2019. It is filed on a sworn attestation with no Unique ID or PIN. Google, Flo and Flurry funded it without admitting wrongdoing, and California residents may qualify for a doubled share that can require residency documentation. Claims close October 15, 2026, two weeks before the October 29 final approval hearing.
Dr. Squatch's $9 million "natural" labeling settlement is the one no-proof case here that stays open past October. It pays $0.50 per product to people who bought Dr. Squatch personal care products in the United States between November 1, 2018 and August 29, 2026 — five products on a signed attestation, or 25 with receipts, for a $12.50 household maximum. Dr. Squatch denies the labeling claims. Claims close November 27, 2026, but the deadline to opt out or object is October 13.
The last two are narrower. The $21.5 million NYC Central Booking settlement pays up to $475 for each time a person was held at a New York City Central Booking facility — in Brooklyn between April 8, 2017 and December 27, 2019, or at any Central Booking location between February 3, 2020 and March 1, 2023. No Notice ID is needed, though the attestation asks for a Social Security number. The City of New York denies wrongdoing. Claims close October 19, 2026, three days before the October 22 final approval hearing.
The Fort Wayne Medical Education Program data breach settlement pays a one-time $40 with no documentation to people notified of the December 2024 cyberattack, or two years of credit or medical monitoring plus up to $5,500 in documented losses instead. The settlement website links a claim form that can be filed without the LoginID and PIN from the notice. FWMEP denies wrongdoing. Claims close October 27, 2026.

Broad Cases That Need a Notice ID or Records
These reach large groups of people, but the claim form is gated on something you have to produce — a closing statement or the identifier from a mailed notice.The $120.3 million NAR homebuyer settlement covers people who bought an MLS-listed home where a broker commission was paid, with class periods that vary by brokerage. It is for buyers, not sellers, and the claim needs a closing statement, settlement statement, HUD statement or a similar closing document showing the purchase price and commissions. The defendants deny the allegations. Claims close October 27, 2026, and the final approval hearing is set for November 2.
The $20 million VSL#3 probiotic settlement pays $20 a unit — one unit per household with no receipt, or up to 40 units ($800) with receipts or a notice. It sits in this group rather than the one above because the portal asks first for a Notice ID and Confirmation Code; people without a notice register an email address to be sent a code. Claims close October 20, 2026.
The $8.31 million TransUnion bankruptcy reporting settlement covers people whose TransUnion credit report carried a bankruptcy remark. The No Bankruptcy Group gets $100 automatically, or about $1,000 by filing a claim; the Aged Bankruptcy Group can claim about $350. Filing takes the Claim Number and PIN from the notice plus a sworn certification, by October 30, 2026.
Lands' End's data breach settlement pays about $60 with no documentation, or up to $5,000 in documented losses, plus two years of credit monitoring, to people notified of the December 2024 data incident. The Login ID and PIN from the mailed notice are required to file online, by October 22, 2026.
The $9.375 million Concora Credit settlement pays an estimated $250 to $650 to people who were not Concora accountholders but received a prerecorded voice call on a cellphone between May 2, 2021 and May 31, 2026. The Claimant ID and Access Code from the mailed notice open the online form; without one, you need proof that a call reached you. Claims close October 19, 2026.
TED's video privacy settlement gives U.S. account holders who watched a pre-recorded video on ted.com two free months of membership automatically. Filing is only for those who want $5 cash instead, reduced pro rata against a $350,000 cap, using the Claim ID and PIN from the notice by October 26, 2026.
The Playstudios social casino settlement covers people who spent money in myVEGAS, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack or myVEGAS Bingo while in Alabama, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Tennessee or Kentucky. Doing nothing gets free in-game coins; electing cash by October 21, 2026 pays 23% of your net spend instead. The election needs the Game Player ID or a support code for each game, plus every account email.
Narrower Cases Closing Early in October
Four more close in the first days of the month or cover a smaller group.The Sugared + Bronzed settlement closes October 2 and pays an estimated $110 to $222 to people who kept getting its marketing texts after replying STOP, using the LoginID and PIN from the notice. The Palm Beach Tan settlement closes October 4 on the same theory and pays an equal amount per post-STOP text, up to $1,500 each, from a $2.5 million fund; the online form needs the Claim ID and PIN, and without one the route is a mailed claim form.
The EY and Bank of America MOVEit settlement closes October 8. It covers people Ernst & Young notified about the 2023 MOVEit breach of Bank of America customer data, and pays a flat $100 or documented losses — up to $2,500 ordinary plus up to $10,000 extraordinary — with two years of identity theft protection, using the Claimant ID and PIN from the notice.
The $93.5 million turkey price-fixing settlements are for businesses only: U.S. companies that bought fresh or frozen, uncooked turkey directly from the processors between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2016. A new claim form is required by October 30, 2026 even from companies that filed in the earlier Cargill and Tyson round, using the Unique ID and PIN from the notice.

Last month's list, with the September deadlines, is in the September 2026 roundup, and deadlines through December 21 are gathered in the fall 2026 settlements roundup. The full, continuously updated inventory is on the open settlements page and the no-proof settlements page.
What "No Proof" Actually Means
No proof means no receipt and no identifier from a mailed notice. It does not mean no eligibility requirement. Every one of these forms asks you to certify under penalty of perjury that you belong to the class — that you bought the product in the covered window, in a covered state, or used the service during the covered period — and several administrators can ask for supporting records afterward.The identifier is what trips people up. A settlement can advertise a no-documentation cash tier and still gate the online form on a Claim ID, LoginID or PIN that only arrives in the mail. Lands' End, EY and Bank of America, Palm Beach Tan and Sugared + Bronzed all work that way; if the notice never arrived or was thrown out, the official settlement website is where the alternate filing instructions live.
Pro rata is the other thing to understand before judging a payout. Where the figure is a share of a fund — pork, Flo, NAR, turkey — the final amount depends on how many valid claims come in and is not set until the administrator finishes its review. Published estimates are estimates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which October 2026 class action settlements require no proof of purchase?
Six of the seventeen on this list take a claim on a sworn attestation rather than a receipt or a notice ID: the $117 million pork price-fixing settlement, the Bestway above-ground pool settlement, the Flo period-tracker settlement, the Dr. Squatch settlement, the NYC Central Booking settlement and the Fort Wayne Medical Education Program data breach settlement. Each still asks you to certify that you belong to the class, and some administrators can ask for supporting records later.
What is the earliest class action deadline in October 2026?
October 2, 2026, for the $750,000 Sugared + Bronzed text message settlement. It covers people who kept receiving Sugared + Bronzed marketing texts after replying STOP, pays an estimated $110 to $222, and uses the LoginID and PIN from the mailed notice.
Which October 2026 settlement covers the most people?
By reach, the pork price-fixing settlement is the broadest no-proof case: anyone who bought raw pork or bacon at a grocery store in one of 24 states between June 28, 2014 and June 30, 2018 can file with no documentation. The NAR homebuyer settlement is the broadest case that needs records, covering buyers of MLS-listed homes where a broker commission was paid, with a closing statement required.
Can I file a claim without the Notice ID or PIN that came in the mail?
On the six no-proof settlements, yes: the identifier is optional or not used. On TransUnion, Lands' End, Concora Credit, TED, EY and Bank of America, Palm Beach Tan, Sugared + Bronzed and the turkey settlement, the administrator-issued ID is what opens the online form, and without it you would need the alternate instructions on that settlement's official website. VSL#3 lets people without a notice register an email address to receive a portal code.
What happens after an October 2026 claim deadline passes?
The claim window closes and late claims are generally not accepted. Most settlements on this list still have a final approval hearing ahead, and payments follow only if the court approves the settlement and any appeals are resolved. Filing preserves your place; it is not a payment date.
