$203.35M Chicken Price-Fixing Class Action Settlement — Payments Scheduled to Begin in June 2026

No. The claim deadline passed on July 31, 2025. If you filed a valid claim before the deadline, there is nothing more to file — according to the April 24, 2026 status report, claims processing was scheduled to be complete and claims finalized by May 22, 2026.

Payments to eligible claims were scheduled to begin June 5, 2026, according to an April 24, 2026 court-filed status report. The filing does not say every claimant would be paid on June 5, only that payment processing was scheduled to begin on that date.

Possibly. The court-filed schedule said payment to eligible claims begins June 5, 2026. As of June 10, 2026, the payment process may be underway, but the public docket text does not confirm that all payments have been completed.

The final payment amount depends on the number of eligible claims, the claimant's approved purchase amount, audit results, fees, costs, and the final distribution formula. Do not assume a fixed payment amount unless you receive confirmation from the official settlement administrator.

The April 24 status report says A.B. Data reviewed claims for fraud markers among more than 10 million submitted claims. The administrator raised the documentation threshold from claims exceeding $50 per month to claims exceeding $300 per month. If a claimant could not document purchases above $300 per month, the administrator would presume $300 per month for each claimed month.

No. If you submitted a valid claim before the July 31, 2025 deadline, there is nothing more to file. Watch the email address, payment account, and mailing address you used on your claim form — out-of-date contact information is the most common reason settlement payments bounce.

Receipts were not required at the time of filing; claimants certified their purchases under penalty of perjury. During the audit phase, the administrator required documentation only for claims exceeding $300 per month in purchases; claimants who could not document purchases above that level were presumed to have spent $300 per month for each claimed month.

Fresh or frozen raw chicken products such as whole birds, cut-up birds in a package, breasts, and wings (excluding deli or restaurant purchases), bought in a covered state during the class period described on the official settlement website.

Yes. It is part of the same overall Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation and uses the same official consumer settlement website, OverchargedForChicken.com. However, it is a different piece of the case than the earlier cash settlements.

Yes. OverchargedForChicken.com is the official consumer settlement website for the End-User Consumer portion of the Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation, and it is used for both the earlier cash settlements and the newer Agri Stats notice. That is why Agri Stats emails come from the same place as earlier payment-related communications.

No. The Agri Stats settlement is described as injunctive relief, meaning it focuses on business-practice changes — such as limits on certain broiler chicken reports and production-data sharing — rather than a new cash fund for consumers.

Yes. The payout process is tied to the earlier cash settlements with chicken companies, totaling about $203.35 million, with payments scheduled to begin June 5, 2026. The Agri Stats notice is separate from that cash-payment process, even though it is part of the same broader case.

No. The Agri Stats notice does not cancel, replace, or restart the earlier consumer payment process. If you filed a valid claim in the cash settlements, the Agri Stats notice does not change it.

It is the combined total of the earlier cash settlements that major chicken producers — including Tyson, Pilgrim's, Perdue, Sanderson, and others — reached with End-User Consumer Plaintiffs in the Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation. Those funds are the source of consumer payments, which were scheduled to begin June 5, 2026, according to an April 24, 2026 court status report.

Read it, but do not expect a new claim form or a new payment — the Agri Stats settlement does not create a new consumer cash fund. If you want to object to or exclude yourself from it, the notice explains how; the deadline is July 13, 2026, and the final approval hearing is set for September 1, 2026. Receiving the notice does not affect any payment you may be owed from the earlier settlements, and you never need to pay anyone to receive a settlement payment.
