If you filed a Makena claim, here is how to tell whether your PayPal payment or check is on the way — and what to check if your inbox is still empty.
Makena Settlement Payments Are Being Reported
Some claimants in the $7.5 million Makena class action settlement are reporting that PayPal payments landed in their accounts in June 2026. The reports are consistent with the official settlement website's earlier statement that distribution was expected by the end of May 2026, and they suggest the settlement administrator has begun paying valid claims. OpenClassActions.com has not independently verified that every approved claim has been paid, and payment timing may vary based on claim review status and the payment method each claimant selected. For the full case background, eligibility terms, and payment formula, see our Makena class action settlement page.

PayPal Payments Appear to Be Hitting First
The payments being reported so far are electronic — primarily PayPal. That matches the usual distribution pattern in class action settlements: electronic payments are released first, in batches, and paper checks are printed and mailed afterward, sometimes days or weeks later. If you selected a paper check on your Makena claim form, a quiet mailbox right now does not mean your claim was denied.Haven't Been Paid Yet? Check These First
• The email address you used on your claim form — payment notices and PayPal transfers go to that address, and they often land in spam or promotions folders.• Your PayPal account, including the activity feed — make sure the account tied to your claim-form email is still active and able to receive money.
• Your physical mail, if you selected a check — and keep watching it through the summer, since checks typically lag electronic payments.
• Your claim status on the official Makena settlement website — the administrator's contact page there is the only place that can look up an individual claim.
Payments are issued pro rata from the fund, so individual amounts depend on the claim tier filed ($22 per treatment with proof, $4 per treatment if a Government Healthcare Program paid, or $1 per treatment up to $40 without proof) and the total volume of valid claims. The full Makena settlement details page walks through the payment formula.
A Reminder About Who Can Help
OpenClassActions.com is not the settlement administrator. We cannot check individual claim status, confirm payment amounts, change a payment method, or resend a payment. Only the court-appointed administrator, reachable through the official settlement website, can do that. Be cautious of anyone else offering to "release" or "expedite" your settlement payment — administrators never ask for a fee to send your money.How This Fits the Settlement Timeline
The claim, opt-out, and objection deadlines all passed on November 10, 2025, and the court granted final approval after the January 12, 2026 hearing in Newark, New Jersey. The official settlement website then stated that distribution was expected by the end of May 2026. June 2026 PayPal reports arriving right on the heels of that window indicate the distribution is running roughly on the announced schedule. Anyone who did not file a claim by the deadline is not eligible for a payment from this settlement — if you're looking for cases you can still join, browse the current open class action settlements.Frequently Asked Questions
Are Makena settlement payments going out now?Some claimants are reporting PayPal payments in June 2026, which suggests distribution from the $7.5 million fund has begun. OpenClassActions.com has not independently verified that all payments have been issued, and timing may vary by claim status and the payment method selected on the claim form.
I have not received my Makena payment yet. What should I check?
Check the email address and PayPal account you used on your claim form, including spam and promotions folders, and watch your physical mail if you selected a check. If nothing arrives, check your claim status through the official Makena settlement website or contact the settlement administrator through that site.
When will Makena paper checks arrive?
The administrator has not published a check-mailing schedule. In most settlements, electronic payments such as PayPal go out first and paper checks follow days or weeks later, so claimants who selected a check may need to wait longer.
How much are Makena settlement payments?
Amounts depend on the claim tier: $22 per treatment with proof of treatment and out-of-pocket payment, $4 per treatment if a Government Healthcare Program paid, or $1 per treatment up to $40 without proof — all subject to pro rata adjustment based on the total valid claims against the $7.5 million fund.
Can OpenClassActions.com check my Makena payment status?
No. OpenClassActions.com is not the settlement administrator and cannot look up claims, confirm amounts, change payment methods, or resend payments. Use the official Makena settlement website to check your claim or contact the administrator.
