2026 settlement – A new wave of 2026 class-action settlements and refund programs is opening—each with its own claim window, eligibility rules, and payout method. Deadlines start as soon as June 22, 2026 and run through late summer and early fall, including settlements involvin
When the claim window closes, it closes for good. For shoppers and device users who’ve been waiting to find out whether they’re owed money—sometimes for years—this summer is arriving with multiple deadlines stacked close together.
The cases range from ATM fee disputes tied to Bank of America customers using certain 7‑Eleven machines. to a Google Assistant privacy settlement linked to accidental triggers that captured audio. There’s also a data-breach settlement for Comcast Xfinity customers. a FACTA receipt-printing settlement tied to Sprouts Farmers Market transactions. and an FTC settlement that includes a second phase for eligible Amazon Prime subscribers.
The timing matters because many of these settlements require action on a specific date. For some programs, current customers may receive automatic credits. For others. people must file online—or mail in a claim—before the window closes. with payouts that vary depending on how many people participate and what documentation they can provide.
The nearest deadlines start in June.
A $2.25 million ATM fee case is open, but former customers must file
If you were a Bank of America account holder and were allegedly charged extra or duplicative out-of-network ATM fees at certain 7‑Eleven ATMs, you may qualify for a cash payment from a $2.25 million settlement.
Current account holders are expected to receive automatic credits. but former customers need to file a simple online claim by June 29. 2026. The claim deadline is the key cutoff: the settlement’s payment is described as a pro‑rata share of the $2.25 million fund. with the exact amount depending on how many people file and how many fees were paid.
The mattress settlement offers vouchers from a $9 million fund
For people who bought certain fiberglass mattress products sold by Ashley Furniture, Nectar, DreamCloud or Siena, the settlement provides vouchers rather than cash.
The case involves customers who purchased specific Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud or Siena mattresses sold between Oct. 1, 2017, and June 30, 2024, that are identified as part of the fiberglass settlement. Claims are due by July 17, 2026. Those who qualify may receive credits toward replacement products. with amounts varying based on what was bought and how people were affected.
The FTC settlement expands Amazon Prime refunds through July 27
For Amazon customers who enrolled in Prime between 2019 and 2025 and say they were misled into signing up or had a hard time canceling, a $2.5 billion Federal Trade Commission settlement may offer cash back.
Many customers already received automatic refunds. A second phase now allows eligible users to submit claims online through July 27, 2026. The claim window is tied to Prime enrollment between June 23. 2019. and June 23. 2025. and eligibility is based on whether users were identified under the FTC case as potentially misled or improperly steered into subscriptions.
The settlement describes potential payouts as a cash refund tied to improperly charged Prime fees, with amounts varying depending on what was paid and whether an automatic payment was already received.
Receipt privacy claims for Sprouts transactions run until Aug. 5
People who shopped at Sprouts Farmers Market and saw too much of their card number printed on the receipt may be eligible for money under a $5 million FACTA settlement.
The case covers U.S. customers who made a credit or debit card purchase at Sprouts between Aug. 16, 2020, and Oct. 31, 2022, and whose printed receipt displayed more than the last five digits of the card number.
Claim forms are due by Aug. 5, 2026. The administrator estimates many shoppers could see payouts ranging from roughly $70 to more than $400. while the settlement itself describes the payment as a pro‑rata cash award from the $5 million fund with estimates ranging from about $67.50 up to $405 per person depending on how many claims come in.
Google Assistant privacy claims are due by Aug. 27
Technology users have their own clock to watch. If you used Google Assistant on devices such as Nest speakers, Home smart speakers, Pixel phones or similar products and your audio was captured due to accidental “false accepts,” you may qualify for a share of a $68 million privacy settlement.
Claims must be filed by Aug. 27, 2026. Payments are scheduled to go out after a final court hearing scheduled for Oct. 1, 2026.
The case applies to U.S. users whose Google Assistant devices recorded their audio between May 18, 2016, and March 19, 2026, including people whose communications were captured when the assistant triggered by mistake.
The settlement describes potential payouts as a share of the $68 million fund, “most likely” as a modest but still meaningful check or digital payment, with the exact amount dependent on how many people file a claim.
A Comcast Xfinity breach deadline was extended to Sept. 14
For Comcast customers whose personal data was caught up in the Comcast’s 2023 Xfinity breach, a $117.5 million settlement offers two paths: a documented out‑of‑pocket losses claim or a simpler lump-sum cash option.
The claim deadline was recently extended to Sept. 14, 2026. The settlement is available to U.S. residents whose personal information was exposed in the October 2023 Xfinity data breach and who were notified by Comcast or identified by the settlement administrator.
Potential payouts are described as up to about $10,000 for documented out‑of‑pocket losses, plus a separate fixed cash payment—often cited around $50—for people who opt for the alternative benefit.
The deadline extension gives affected customers additional time, but it doesn’t eliminate the need to act. The settlement describes the process as submitting a form on the official settlement website or mailing a paper claim with notice information. contact details. and either documentation of losses or a selection of the alternative payment option.
The window is widening, but these are still claims—not automatic money for everyone
The pattern across these cases is simple: eligibility is often tied to a specific timeframe. and the payout method can differ sharply. Some settlements emphasize automatic credits for certain current account holders. while others require claims by a strict date—sometimes without needing old receipts. but always depending on what the administrator or company can verify.
For people trying to recover money from breaches. mis-billing. privacy mishaps. or product defects. the range of payout structures is wide: pro‑rata shares from funds of $2.25 million. $5 million. and $68 million; voucher credits from a $9 million mattress settlement; and refunds from a $2.5 billion FTC action.
Even when the dollar amounts are described as estimates or “ballpark ranges,” one detail stays consistent: missing the claim deadline can mean losing access to the settlement.
More deadlines appear in the fine print
The settlement list also points to additional claim windows. A Krispy Kreme data breach settlement tied to a November 2024 cyberattack offers money and free credit monitoring from a $1.6 million settlement, but claim forms are due by June 22, 2026.
There’s also continued coverage on Amazon Prime refund claims tied to the $2.5 billion FTC settlement. Comcast data breach payout choices for Xfinity users tied to the $117.5 million settlement. and tech and AI class actions described as opening new refund and settlement opportunities for everyday users—along with an explainer tied to Apple’s Siri settlement.
