The $19.99 million Tubi settlement resolved allegations that viewing information was disclosed without the consent required by the Video Privacy Protection Act. The filing period is over, and distribution began after an appeal was dismissed.
Current Status
The November 28, 2024 claim deadline has passed. The court granted final approval on December 31, 2024, an appeal delayed distribution, and the administrator later reported that the appeal had been dismissed. Payments for valid claims began in October 2025, with replacement checks used for some failed digital deliveries. There is no new claim period, and this page does not provide a way to request a late payment.StatusPayments Issued; Reissues May Vary

What Was the Tubi Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit alleged that Tubi disclosed users’ video-viewing information and identifying data to third parties for advertising and analytics without obtaining the separate, informed consent required by the federal Video Privacy Protection Act. Plaintiffs claimed that the disclosed information could connect a person with particular videos viewed through the service. Tubi denied the allegations and denied violating the VPPA. The parties settled to avoid further litigation, and the settlement was not a court finding that Tubi committed wrongdoing.Who Was Included in the Settlement?
The settlement class generally covered people who used Tubi’s video streaming service between June 23, 2021 and August 26, 2024. It included registered account holders and people who watched without creating an account, subject to the exclusions in the settlement notice. The court, Tubi and related entities, their personnel, and people who timely excluded themselves were not participating class members. Simply using another Fox or streaming product did not establish eligibility for this settlement.How Did the Historical Claim Process Work?
A registered user could identify the email address connected with a Tubi account. A person who watched without an account could identify the device used and provide approximate viewing dates, then attest that the information was true. The process did not require a purchase receipt because Tubi is a free, advertising-supported service, but a valid claim still had to match the settlement requirements. All online and mailed claims were due November 28, 2024, and late claims are not being accepted.How Were Individual Payments Calculated?
The $19,990,000 fund was used for approved administration costs, attorney fees and expenses, the court-approved service award, and equal pro rata payments to people with valid claims. That means the final individual award depended on the net amount remaining and the number of approved claims. The settlement did not promise every Tubi user a fixed payment, and a publicly reported claimant amount should not be treated as the amount owed on every claim.What Happened During Approval and Appeal?
The court entered final approval on December 31, 2024. A later appeal prevented the administrator from distributing the settlement fund on the original timetable. The administrator posted that the appellate court dismissed the appeal in June 2025, allowing claims administration and payment preparation to resume. That sequence matters: the original hearing and approval did not mean money could be sent while the appeal remained unresolved.When Did Distribution Begin?
The administrator began issuing valid-claim payments in October 2025 using the payment method associated with each approved claim. Some digital transfers could not be completed or redeemed and were subsequently handled through replacement checks. Distribution to one claimant does not prove that every claim was approved or that every replacement arrived on the same date. People who filed should rely on their administrator correspondence and the official site for the status of an individual payment.What If a Payment Email Looks Suspicious?
A genuine payment notice should correspond to a claim actually filed in this case and should identify the Gregory v. Tubi settlement. Do not provide new banking credentials through an unsolicited message merely because it mentions Tubi. Instead, navigate independently to the official settlement website and use the administrator’s published support process. OpenClassActions cannot validate a payment message, change a delivery method, or reissue a settlement award.Can Anyone File a Tubi Claim Now?
No. The claim form, exclusion deadline, objection process, and court-approval proceedings are historical. A person who used Tubi during the class period but did not submit a timely claim cannot join the distribution now. An approved claimant who has a delivery problem is not filing a new claim; that person is asking the administrator about an existing claim or possible reissue. Keep the original confirmation and any payment notice when making that inquiry.How Is This Different From Other Tubi Proceedings?
Separate mass-arbitration and related court proceedings involved some Tubi users outside this class settlement. Those matters used different representation, eligibility rules, and potential payment amounts. A communication about another Tubi dispute should not be combined with this $19.99 million class settlement. This page addresses Gregory v. Tubi and the claims administered through the official Video Streaming Settlement website.What Is Tubi and Why Were Unregistered Viewers Included?
Tubi is a free, advertising-supported streaming service available through web browsers, mobile devices, streaming hardware, and smart televisions. Because viewers can watch without paying or creating an account, the settlement process accounted for both registered and unregistered use. That is why the historical claim form asked different questions depending on account status. The case concerned alleged disclosure of viewing information, not whether a person bought a subscription or paid to watch a particular program.What Did the Settlement Change?
In addition to funding valid claims, the agreement resolved the covered VPPA allegations and established the legal release described in the notice. Class members who did not opt out became bound by that release even if they did not file a claim. The settlement did not represent a general refund for Tubi service, did not decide that every transmission of analytics data was unlawful, and did not require claimants to prove a dollar loss from watching a specific video.Official Information
