Americans affected by several major class-action settlements have just weeks left to claim their share of more than $200 million in combined payouts.
Although none of the companies involved have admitted wrongdoing, they’ve agreed to multimillion-dollar settlements to resolve claims of data breaches, privacy violations, and accessibility issues.
From Cash App to AT&T, Panera Bread, Fashion Nova, and EyeMed, thousands of eligible customers could soon receive payments ranging from $50 to as much as $10,000 — but only if they act before their respective claim deadlines.
Cash App to Pay $12.5 Million Over Unsolicited Texts
Cash App has agreed to a $12.5 million settlement following allegations that it violated consumer protection laws by sending unsolicited promotional text messages.
The lawsuit, filed in Washington State, claimed that the company encouraged users to send referral texts without the recipients’ consent — a violation of state law barring unapproved commercial messages.
Eligible individuals are those who received a Cash App referral text between November 14, 2019, and August 7, 2025.
A sample of the message reads:
“Hey! I’ve been using Cash App to send money and spend using the Cash Card. Try it using my code and you’ll get $5. FVRJ1PH https://cash.app/app/FVRJ1PH.”
Depending on the number of valid claims, payouts are expected to range between $88 and $147 per person. Claims must be submitted by October 27, 2025, through the official settlement website.
AT&T’s $177 Million Data Leak Settlement
Telecom giant AT&T has agreed to pay a staggering $177 million to resolve lawsuits stemming from two major data breaches that exposed sensitive information from millions of customers.
The first leak, in March 2024, and a second in July 2024, exposed Social Security numbers and call logs of over 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former customers.
Affected individuals can receive up to $7,500 in total compensation — $5,000 for those impacted by the March leak and $2,500 for the July incident. Customers affected by both can file for the combined amount.
The deadline to submit a claim is November 18, 2025, and forms must be filed through the official AT&T settlement portal.
Fashion Nova to Pay $5.15 Million for Accessibility Failures
Fast-fashion retailer Fashion Nova has agreed to a $5.15 million payout after facing a class-action lawsuit filed by blind and visually impaired users. The suit claimed that Fashion Nova’s website was not compatible with screen-reading software, making it inaccessible to legally blind customers.
The settlement benefits legally blind California residents who attempted to access the website with screen readers between 2018 and 2025. Depending on the number of valid claims, individual payouts could reach up to $4,000.
To qualify, eligible individuals must file by October 20, 2025.
Panera Bread to Compensate Data Leak Victims
Panera Bread will pay $2.5 million to resolve claims related to a data breach discovered on March 23, 2024. The company allegedly failed to take sufficient measures to safeguard customer information.
The settlement covers customers who received an official notification about the breach.
Those who suffered ordinary losses, such as credit monitoring fees or credit report charges, can claim up to $500, while individuals who experienced identity theft or financial fraud can claim up to $6,500 in extraordinary losses.
Claims must be filed by November 11, 2025, through the Panera Bread settlement site.
EyeMed Vision Care to Pay $5 Million for 2020 Data Breach
EyeMed Vision Care has agreed to a $5 million settlement following a 2020 data breach that exposed personal information of customers and employees. The affected class includes those who received official notice from EyeMed regarding the June 2020 incident.
Under the terms of the agreement, claimants can receive up to $10,000 for documented out-of-pocket expenses and an additional $100 for time spent addressing the issue.
In addition, residual payments of approximately $50 may be distributed to remaining claimants, bringing potential total compensation to around $10,150.
The deadline to submit a claim is December 11, 2025.
Act Fast — Deadlines Are Approaching
With multiple settlement programs running simultaneously, deadlines are quickly approaching for consumers hoping to claim their share. Experts advise applicants to file as soon as possible and to use only official settlement websites to avoid scams.
Class-action attorney Rebecca Hayes notes, “These cases highlight how consumer privacy and digital responsibility are becoming central issues in modern commerce.
Companies are being held accountable, and eligible consumers should take advantage of these opportunities to be compensated for violations of their rights.”
If you’ve received any settlement notice or suspect your data was compromised, check your eligibility and submit your claim before the cutoff dates. With more than $200 million on the table, missing the deadline could mean leaving hundreds or even thousands of dollars unclaimed.
