What Changed Recently?
The court granted final approval. The King County Superior Court docket shows an Order Approving Settlement entered after the August 7, 2026 final approval hearing; the docket does not display the order’s entry date. Earlier, King County Superior Court preliminarily approved the settlement on March 31, 2026 and authorized the settlement administrator, Simpluris, Inc., to send the Notice and Claim Form. Claims were due June 29, 2026, the same date set for objections.The case is Perry v. The Boeing Company, et al., Case No. 24-2-12754-2 SEA. The named plaintiff sued The Boeing Company and Boeing Financial Corporation in King County Superior Court in 2024, alleging that their job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range being offered, as required by RCW 49.58.110, the job-posting provision of Washington's Equal Pay and Opportunities Act. The court has not decided whether Boeing violated the law. The settlement website says the parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, uncertainty and time of continued litigation.
The case took a detour through federal court first. Boeing removed it to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (No. 2:24-cv-01000), and the plaintiff asked to send it back. In November 2024 Judge Robert S. Lasnik granted the motion to remand, finding that the complaint did not allege a concrete injury of the kind federal jurisdiction requires. The case returned to King County, where it settled.
Who Qualifies?
The Settlement Class covers people who, from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026, the date of preliminary approval, applied for a job opening in the State of Washington with The Boeing Company or Boeing Financial Corporation, where the job posting did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and/or a general description of all of the benefits for the position.The class is defined by the application and the posting, not by whether the applicant was hired or interviewed. Notices went to people identified as likely Class Members, but only those who returned a timely, valid Claim Form are in line for a payment.
How Much Can Claimants Get?
The Notice states that Boeing and Boeing Financial Corporation will pay between $5,235,990 and $8,044,000, depending on how many Class Members submit a claim. That is why the settlement is usually reported as a $5.2 million to $8 million deal rather than a single figure. Attorneys' fees and costs, the plaintiff's service award and settlement administration costs come out of the fund before it is divided, and each approved amount is up to the court.Every Class Member who submitted a timely, valid Claim Form receives an equal share of what remains. The Notice estimated the individual payment at $1,396.32. That figure is an estimate; the final amount depends on the number of valid claims and on what the court approves for fees and costs.
Payments will be made by mailed check. The settlement website says checks expire and become void 180 calendar days after the date they are issued.
What Proof or Notice ID Was Required?
No receipts, pay stubs or application records were needed. The online Claim Form, however, used the Unique ID and PIN printed on the notice sent to each Class Member, which is why this page lists Proof Required as Yes. A paper Claim Form could also be mailed, and the Notice said claims are subject to a verification process in which the administrator may request additional information.What Was the Deadline?
Claim Forms had to be submitted online or postmarked on or before June 29, 2026. The objection deadline was the same date. The Notice gives the date only, with no cutoff time or timezone. That deadline has passed.Where to Check the Case
The claim portal is no longer taking claims. The official settlement website, EPOA Settlement TBC (epoasettlementtbc.com), where the administrator had posted court documents and the FAQ, was offline as of September 25, 2026: its domain no longer resolved. The case docket can be searched by case number through the King County Superior Court. Anyone who filed and has since moved should update their mailing address with the administrator, Simpluris, Inc., since payment arrives by mailed check.What Happens Next?
With final approval granted, the next milestone is the end of the appeal period. Under the settlement, eligible Class Members who submitted a timely, valid Claim Form will be mailed a check after all appeals and other reviews, if any, are completed, and the settlement website had cautioned that resolving appeals can take time.No payment date had been announced as of September 25, 2026. This page will be updated when a payment schedule is announced.

Questions
Why is the Boeing settlement described as $5.2 million to $8 million instead of one number?
The Notice states that Boeing and Boeing Financial Corporation will pay between $5,235,990 and $8,044,000, and that the final figure depends on how many Class Members submit a claim. Every timely, valid claimant receives an equal share of what remains after court-approved fees, the service award and administration costs are deducted, so the claim count drives both the total Boeing pays and the size of each share. The Notice put the estimated individual payment at $1,396.32; that is an estimate, not a guaranteed amount.
Was the Boeing settlement approved?
Yes. The King County Superior Court docket shows an Order Approving Settlement entered after the August 7, 2026 final approval hearing before Judge John McHale. The docket does not display the order’s entry date. Final approval does not mean payments have started: checks go out only after the appeal period ends, and no payment date had been announced as of September 25, 2026.
When will Boeing settlement checks be mailed?
The court has approved the settlement, and under its terms Class Members who submitted a timely, valid Claim Form will be mailed a check by the administrator, Simpluris, Inc., after the appeal period ends and any appeals or other reviews are completed. No payment date had been announced as of September 25, 2026. The settlement website said checks expire and become void 180 calendar days after they are issued.
I missed the June 29, 2026 claim deadline. Can I still be paid?
The Notice ties payment to a Claim Form submitted online or postmarked on or before June 29, 2026, and the settlement website describes payments going to Class Members who filed a timely, valid claim. Whether a late claim will be accepted is up to the administrator and the court. Anyone in that position should ask the administrator, Simpluris, Inc.; the official settlement website was offline as of September 25, 2026.
Why did this case go from federal court back to state court?
The case was filed in King County Superior Court in 2024 and Boeing removed it to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The plaintiff moved to send it back. Judge Robert S. Lasnik granted the motion to remand in November 2024 after finding that the complaint did not allege the kind of concrete injury needed for federal court jurisdiction. The case then continued, and settled, in King County Superior Court.
