People who filed claims in the $28 million SiriusXM do-not-call settlement received final approval on July 6, 2026, but an objector appealed on August 27, 2026. Payments cannot go out until that appeal is resolved, and no payment date has been set.
What is the Sirius XM TCPA Class Action Settlement About?
This class action settlement resolves allegations that Sirius XM made telephone solicitation calls to people who were on the National Do Not Call Registry or who had asked to be placed on Sirius XM's internal do not call list. Sirius XM denies any wrongdoing, and the Court has not decided who is right; the parties agreed to a proposed settlement to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.The lawsuit was brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which allows statutory damages of up to $500 per unlawful call, or up to $1,500 per call for willful violations. The settlement resolves those claims without any finding that SiriusXM violated the law.
The claim window covered consumers who received more than one Sirius XM telephone solicitation call in a 12-month period between April 27, 2019 and October 31, 2025 after their number was on a do not call list. That filing window has now closed.
Latest Settlement Update — Approved, Now on Appeal
Judge Colin S. Bruce granted final approval to the $28 million settlement in a written order entered July 6, 2026 (ECF No. 160), overruling the one objection filed and approving class counsel's fee request. The objector, Nigel Cohen, then asked the court to reconsider; on July 29, 2026, after the plaintiffs withdrew their proposed cy pres recipient, the court denied that motion as moot and wrote that settlement administration should proceed without further delay. On August 27, 2026, Cohen filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, docketed as No. 26-2779. Payments are issued only after the settlement becomes final, and the official settlement website notes that appeals must be resolved before any payments can be issued. No payment date has been announced as of October 5, 2026.Background on the claim count is in our April 2026 SiriusXM payout update, and the appeal is covered in our October 2026 SiriusXM appeal update.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The settlement creates a $28,000,000 Settlement Fund. This fund may be used to pay eligible Settlement Class Members, notice and administration costs, attorneys' fees and expenses (if approved), and service awards for the named plaintiffs.Who Was Eligible?
The Settlement Class includes certain people in the United States who received more than one Sirius XM telephone solicitation call in a 12-month period between April 27, 2019 and October 31, 2025.Eligibility generally focused on calls received after your number was on a do not call list, including:
1. Calls received more than 31 days after your number was registered on the National Do Not Call Registry, and you were not a self-paying Sirius XM subscriber at the time described in the notice.
2. Calls received after you asked Sirius XM to place your number on its internal do not call list.
How Much Can I Get Paid?
As of April 16, 2026, the administrator's estimated payout was $39.63 per class member. The exact amount is not fixed — it is paid pro rata from the net settlement fund after court-approved deductions and depends on the number of valid claims approved.The July 6, 2026 final approval order awarded class counsel one-third of the $26,620,000 net settlement fund — $8,873,333.33 — plus $167,882 in costs, and a $10,000 service award to each class representative. By OpenClassActions' arithmetic, roughly $17.5 million remains for claimants; spread across the 427,627 claims reported in April 2026, that works out to about $41 per claim if every claim is valid. The administrator's June 25, 2026 declaration on claims validation and estimated payments (ECF No. 156) is not publicly posted, so the official per-claim figure may differ.
How Are Payments Sent?
Class members who filed a valid claim will be paid automatically using the payment method they selected on their claim form — such as PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card, or a paper check. No further action is needed if you already filed a timely claim.Can I Still File a Claim?
No. The filing period is over. The claim deadline was March 21, 2026, and no new claims are being accepted. The official settlement website remains available as an archival reference at SXMTCPASettlement.com, where the administrator posts court documents as they are filed.Important Class Action Settlement Dates
