Which settlements can I claim now?

Here are the open claims we could confirm, soonest deadline first. Read the rules on the official site before you file. Only file if the rules fit you. Many claim forms ask you to swear your answers are true.

CVS website and app privacy settlement

• Who can claim: People who used CVS websites or the CVS app, such as CVS.com and CVSHealth.com, in the U.S. before July 27, 2026.
• Proof needed: None for the smaller payment. Proof that you are in the group for the larger one.
• Payment: The site says "up to Five U.S. Dollars ($5.00) without documentation, or up to Ten U.S. Dollars ($10.00) with proof of membership in the Settlement Class." The FAQ says payments may go down if many people file.
• Deadline: Nov. 16, 2026.
• Official site: CVSDigitalPrivacySettlement.com

Amazon returns settlement

• Who can claim: People who started a return or asked for a refund on a physical item sold on Amazon.com and received in the U.S. from Sept. 5, 2017, to Feb. 12, 2026. It covers people who wrongly got no refund, got a late or wrong refund, or were wrongly charged again later.
• Proof needed: The notice says people in Subclass A do not need to file a claim form, but should pick a payment method on the site. People in Subclass B must file a claim that shows they are likely in that group. The notice points to the settlement papers for who is in each group.
• Payment: No set amount. The notice says Subclass B payments are "proportional to the unpaid transaction amounts."
• Deadline: Dec. 1, 2026, for Subclass B claims.
• Official site: ReturnSettlement.com

Not sure which group you are in? The official notice says to check the site or call 1-888-553-4246.

Kroger pharmacy settlement

• Official site: KrogerSavingsClubSettlement.com

Telmate (ViaPath) data breach settlement

• Who can claim: People in the U.S. whose personal information was hit in the Telmate data breach in August 2020. Telmate runs services like GettingOut for people in jail or prison and their families.
• Proof needed: None for the cash payment. The FAQ says "No documentation is required." Papers are needed to get back money you lost. The online claim form asks for a Class Member ID. Questions? The site lists 833-453-3721.

• Official site: TelmateDataBreachSettlement.com

RealPage renters settlement

• Who can claim: Renters in the U.S. who paid rent straight to the owner or manager of an apartment building that had a license for RealPage pricing software, from Oct. 18, 2018, through Nov. 21, 2025.
• Proof needed: Yes. For each address, send proof of rent for at least one month. A lease, bank statement, or canceled check can work.
• Payment: The FAQ says "it is not known whether, or precisely how much," each person will get.
• Deadline: Jan. 29, 2027, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
• Official site: RealPageRentalSettlement.com

You can look up your address on the site's property list. The notice says you may still file if your building is not on the list. But it also says only people who rented a unit on the list can get a payment.

Visa and Mastercard ATM fee settlement

• Who can claim: People charged a fee to take cash from their bank account at an ATM in the U.S. that is not owned by any bank or other financial institution, Visa, or Mastercard, from Oct. 24, 2007, to Aug. 14, 2026, and not fully paid back by their bank. A fee at another bank's ATM does not count. Credit card, cash advance, and prepaid card uses do not count, either.
• Proof needed: None to file. The form says "You do not need to provide any documentation at this time." You may be asked for proof later.
• Payment: A share of the fund. The FAQ says "nobody can know in advance how much the payment will be."
• Deadline: Feb. 10, 2027.
• Official site: NonBankATMSurchargeSettlement.com

• Deadline: March 8, 2027.

Do I need receipts?

Not for all of them. The ATM fee, generic drug, and CVS claims need no proof to file. The Telmate cash payment needs none, either. You may still be asked for proof later.

The RealPage claim needs proof of rent for each address. Kroger and Amazon returns may ask for papers, too.

How much will I get?

No one can say yet. Most of these split the money by share. Your payment depends on how many people file and how much is left after fees and costs.

We do not guess at payments. We only quote what each official site says. Only the CVS claim names a top amount for a no-proof payment. That amount is small.

When will payments go out?

Not until a court gives final approval, and any appeals end. That can take months or longer. For the generic drug claim, the site says no money goes out before a court hearing on Sept. 8, 2027. RealPage already has final approval. But its site says, "There will be no payments at this time."

Which payments come on their own?

How do I spot a fake settlement?

You do not have to pay anyone to file a claim. Fakes often ask for a fee or your private details. Here is what the FTC says to watch for:

• The FTC never asks you to pay to get a refund.
• The FTC never asks for your Social Security number or bank account number.
• The FTC will never demand money, make threats, tell you to move money, or promise you a prize.
• Real FTC refund cases are listed at ftc.gov/refunds.
• Do not click links in emails that seem to come from the FTC or PayPal. Type the web address yourself.

Some settlement sites warn about this, too. The RealPage site says you do not need to pay a lawyer or a company to file. The Telmate site says it is "the only authorized website for this case."

Is this site part of these settlements?

No. CalculateBenefits is an independent site. We are not a court, the FTC, a law firm, or a settlement team. We cannot file for you or check on a claim. We do not give legal advice.

Where else can I look for money?
