Walmart Weighted Groceries Settlement Payments Are Going Out Now - October 2025 Update

Walmart Weighted Goods Settlement Payments

Published: October 2, 2025

Walmart Settlement Payments Have Started

Claimants who filed valid and timely claim forms in the $45 million Walmart weighted groceries class action settlement are beginning to receive payments via their email inboxes.

Early reports indicate average payments around $25.97 for many claimants, with amounts varying based on claim type and the number of eligible purchases.

Why Payments Are Going Out Now

The Court granted final approval on June 28, 2024. After claim reviews and administration, the Court authorized distribution in August 2025, and the administrator announced payments anticipated to start by the end of September 2025.

Who Was Eligible

The class includes customers who bought certain sold-by-weight meat, poultry, pork, and seafood, or bagged organic citrus at Walmart stores in the United States or Puerto Rico between October 19, 2018 and January 19, 2024. Walmart denies wrongdoing.

How Much People Are Getting

Payments were calculated from two tracks:

No receipts: $10 for up to 50 purchases, $15 for 51 to 75, $20 for 76 to 100, and $25 for 101 or more. With receipts: 2 percent of substantiated purchases, capped at $500. Final amounts are pro rata based on the net fund and approved claims.

How Payments Are Sent

Payments are being issued in batches. Expect email notices and electronic payments first, with mailed checks following where applicable. If you changed bank or wallet details, watch for reissue instructions from the administrator.

I Did Not See My Money Yet

Distribution is staged. Give it time if your friend was paid before you. If you received a notice but no deposit after a reasonable window, contact the administrator using the official site below.

Where to Check for Your Walmart Settlement Email

If you have not seen your Walmart settlement payment yet, start by looking for the official payment notice email. The administrator is sending messages from addresses linked to the settlement website. Sometimes these emails get filtered out.

Here are a few places to check in your inbox:

• Your spam or junk mail folder
• Your promotions or updates tabs (for Gmail users)
• Any inbox filters that might move “Walmart” or “Settlement” emails away from your main view

Try searching your inbox for phrases like “Walmart Weighted Groceries Settlement” or the administrator’s email address. If you still do not see the notice, visit the official settlement website’s Contact Us page and request assistance. Remember, the administrator will never ask for your Social Security number, banking login, or any fee to release your funds.

What If My Walmart Prepaid Settlement Card Does Not Work?

Some claimants who selected a prepaid card have reported receiving an error message such as:

Error Message:

“We apologize. We have identified an error on our side. Please contact customer service at 833-941-4280.”

If you see this notice, it does not mean your funds are gone. It usually indicates a technical issue with card activation. The settlement administrator has confirmed that support is available by calling the number listed above.

In most cases, the card can be reissued or reactivated after you verify your claim information. If the issue cannot be resolved, you may be offered a replacement card or an alternative payment method, such as a paper check.

Always use the official phone number or contact form listed on the settlement website, or on the official prepaid card company's website to avoid any potential scams or spoofed websites.

How Do I Find Class Action Settlements?

Find all the latest class actions you can qualify for by getting notified of new lawsuits as soon as they are open to claims:

Are Walmart Settlement Checks Being Sent and What Is the Timeline?

Yes — paper checks are part of the Walmart weighted groceries settlement distribution. Claimants who selected checks should expect them later in the payment schedule.

The administrator confirmed that payments are being issued in waves over several weeks. Electronic payments (PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, direct deposit, prepaid cards) are being sent first. Paper checks usually take longer because of printing and mailing time.

If you chose a check, it may arrive several weeks after others report digital deposits. This does not mean your claim is denied or lost. Allow the full 10-week distribution window before contacting the administrator about a missing check.

If your address changed since filing your claim, reach out through the official settlement website to update your mailing address to avoid delays or returned mail.

Do I Get a Second Chance if My Walmart Payment Fails?

Yes. If your Walmart settlement payment cannot be completed — for example, your PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or prepaid card is closed or rejects the deposit — the money is not lost. The funds return to the administrator.

In that case, the settlement administrator should send a follow-up notice by email within several weeks (often around 50 days after the first failed attempt). That notice gives you the chance to update your payment details or request a reissue, usually as a paper check.

If you do not respond to the second-chance email, the administrator may mail a check automatically to the mailing address you used on your claim form.

To avoid delays, keep an eye on your email inbox. If you suspect your digital payment failed and no second-chance notice arrives please contact the settlement administrators directly.

How were amounts determined

The settlement provided fixed tiers without receipts and a 2 percent option with receipts, up to $500, subject to pro rata.
