What Was the Settlement About?
The lawsuit alleged that shoppers paid more than the lowest advertised price for certain sold-by-weight meat, poultry, pork, seafood, and bagged citrus products during the class period. Walmart denied wrongdoing and agreed to settle the claims without an admission of liability.Can Someone File a Claim Now?
No. The claim deadline was June 5, 2024. A payment-status message does not reopen the filing period. People who submitted timely claims should use the official site for administrator updates and should not pay a third party to release a payment.How Were Awards Determined?
The settlement offered tiered benefits based on the claimant's eligible purchases and available documentation. Final amounts could be adjusted under the allocation plan based on approved claims and the net settlement fund. The official administrator, not OpenClassActions, determined claim validity and payment amounts.Sources
