Settlement Claims Closing in September 2026: Who Qualifies, Where to File

All eleven September claim windows have closed, the last two on September 30: the ApolloMD breach and the Mercedes BlueTEC incentive. Who qualified and what comes next.

Published Updated

September 2026 has an unusual cluster of class action claim deadlines, and the biggest day was Monday, September 14, when four windows closed at once: the $117.5 million Comcast data breach settlement, the Google Play children’s privacy case, the Farmers telemarketing case, and the Chantix purchase refunds. All four were rechecked on September 14 and none was extended. The first deadline of the month, the Disney streaming TV case, already closed on September 8, and the two September 25 claims, Tesla idle fees and the mattress discounts, closed on schedule with no extension. Everything below was read from each settlement’s court-authorized website, first on September 6 and rechecked on September 9, 2026, with the class definition, the benefit, and the deadline in the administrator’s own words. No aggregator figures are used; where a site does not state a dollar amount, this page does not either.

The quick answer

All eleven windows have now closed. ApolloMD and the Mercedes diesel incentive closed Wednesday, September 30, and both sites still listed that date, with no extension, on the night of the deadline. The O’Reilly texts and Atrium Health windows closed Monday, September 28; the O’Reilly site now says “The Claims Deadline has passed.” A claim filed for any of them now is late and can be rejected, though the mattress settlement and, for current car owners, the Tesla settlement still give people who did not file an automatic benefit, explained below. If you filed on time, keep the confirmation and wait for the hearing dates listed below. Nothing here charges a fee to file.

  • Closed September 8: Disney streaming TV antitrust (Biddle v. Disney). The claim window for YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream subscribers has passed; the site still shows the same deadline with no extension. Mailed forms postmarked September 8 remain valid
  • Closed September 14: Comcast Xfinity data breach ($117.5 million fund, for people “sent a notice of the Data Breach on or around December 18, 2023”); Google Play children’s privacy (apps used by under-13s since 2015, covered in our filing guide); Farmers insurance telemarketing (up to $160); Chantix purchases 2015 to 2021 ($44 million)
  • Closed September 25: Tesla Supercharger idle fees (California owners of pre-December 2016 cars); Leesa, Brooklyn Bedding, Helix, and Bear mattress discounts (“$110.00 settlement award for each mattress,” California purchasers). Neither site posted an extension; what non-filers still get is below
  • Closed September 28: O’Reilly Auto Parts texts (“up to $22.00 per person”); Atrium Health patient portal pixel case
  • September 30 (closed): ApolloMD data breach ($4.02 million fund); Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC diesel emission modification incentive ($2,000 per vehicle, modification must be installed by August 31)
  • Every one requires a claim form. The Comcast, O’Reilly, Atrium, and ApolloMD sites carry the same sentence: “This is the only authorized Settlement Website for this case.” File only at the addresses in the table

Diagram: the September 2026 settlement claim deadlines sorted three ways, the Disney streaming TV case on September 8 for YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream subscribers, the September 14 group of Comcast breach, Google Play kids privacy, Farmers calls and Chantix, and the September 25 to 30 group of Tesla idle fees, mattress discounts, O'Reilly texts, Atrium Health, ApolloMD and the Mercedes incentive, with the rule to file only on the court-authorized site

September 8: the Disney streaming TV case (now closed)

Update, September 9: this window has closed. The settlement site still lists “Submitted online or postmarked by: September 8, 2026” with no extension, so a form mailed on the 8th still counts and an online filing no longer does. The case itself continues, with a Final Approval Hearing set for January 14, 2027. The record below stays for readers checking whether they missed it, and this page will note any reopening.

This was the one most readers of this site qualified for, and it closed first. The settlement site describes “a $50 million ($50,000,000) partial settlement” of an antitrust suit alleging Disney “engaged in various forms of conduct to raise the prices of Streaming Live Pay Television.” Two classes are covered: “all Persons who purchased a YouTube TV subscription from the period beginning April 1, 2019, through March 31, 2026,” and “all Persons who purchased a DirecTV streaming live pay TV subscription (including DirecTV Stream, DirecTV Now, and AT&T TV Now)” in the same window. FuboTV subscribers are not included: “FuboTV Plaintiffs have not settled with Defendant.”

The payment formula is stated once and simply: “a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) cash payment proportional to the length of your YouTube TV and/or DirecTV Stream subscription.” A seven-year subscriber gets a larger share than a one-month one, and the per-person amount depends on how many claims come in. Two dates matter. The claim form must be “submitted online or postmarked by: September 8, 2026,” which is also the exclusion deadline. The Final Approval Hearing is not until January 14, 2027, so no money moves before then. Note that this is a different case from the YouTube TV subscription settlement for California subscribers that closed in August; qualifying for one does not exclude you from the other.

If you were charged a YouTube TV price increase in that period, the subscription price increase guide explains why those increases were lawful even as this case alleges the underlying programming costs were not.

September 14: four deadlines on one day (closed)

Comcast Xfinity breach. The Hasson v. Comcast site covers the October 2023 intrusion. You are a class member “if you were sent a notice of the Data Breach on or around December 18, 2023.” The fund is $117,500,000. The FAQ lists two routes. The simple one is “an Alternative Cash Payment, estimated in the amount of $50 subject to pro rata adjustment.” The documented one is reimbursement of “documented Out-of-Pocket Losses and/or up to five (5) hours of Lost Time,” with lost time “paid at a Reimbursement Rate of $30 per hour” and both together “subject to a total payment cap of up to $10,000”; a documented claimant receives the greater of that claim or the $50 alternative. Separately, every class member gets “three years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete” identity monitoring without filing anything. One sentence governs the amounts: “all valid claims (including Alternative Cash Payments) will be adjusted upward or downward on a proportional (pro rata) basis.” Unusually, this one is already approved: “The Court approved the Settlement on August 20, 2026.” Claims close online at 11:59 p.m. ET on September 14 or by postmark.

Google Play children’s privacy. Anyone in the US who used a Google Play app while under 13 at any time since April 2015 is in the class, and a parent signs for a minor. The payout is unknown until the claim count is in. The full filing walkthrough, and why this is not the $700 million antitrust case, is in our Google Play kids privacy claim guide.

Farmers insurance telemarketing. The Heckathorn TCPA site is narrower than the headlines: you are included if you received calls or texts “from insurance agents Nickolas Ward, Nate Esparza, Kyle Ryan Gray, Dustin Huffman, Jason Hall, Brian Shirey and/or LeNard Rhone or their agencies marketing Farmers insurance from April 19, 2020, through June 15, 2026 and your cellular phone number appeared on a list produced in the litigation.” Farmers “will make available up to” $1,250,000, and a claimant gets “a pro rata share of the Settlement Fund, up to $160.” The claim form must be postmarked by September 14; the hearing is September 23.

Chantix. The Chantix settlement covers “all individuals and third-party payors who paid any amount of money for retail purchases of Chantix in the United States and its territories from September 29, 2015, through September 17, 2021.” Pfizer “will pay $44,000,000.00,” and consumer payments are “on a pro rata basis based on the amount paid by each consumer” and “capped at 20% of the Available Settlement Fund,” with the rest going to insurers and other third-party payors. Claims are “submitted online or postmarked by September 14, 2026”; the hearing is October 13.

September 25 to 30: cars, mattresses, texts, and two data incidents

Update, October 1: the last two windows have closed. The ApolloMD site still states “All claims must be submitted online or postmarked on or before September 30, 2026,” with no extension, and its Final Approval Hearing remains October 5 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The Mercedes AEM site still states “To Claim Payment, You Must Submit a timely and valid Claim by September 30, 2026,” also with no extension. A claim filed now is late. The Atrium Health site still describes its September 30 Final Approval Hearing as scheduled and had not posted an outcome.

Update, September 29: the two September 28 windows have closed as scheduled. The O’Reilly site now states “The Claims Deadline has passed. All Claim Forms should have been submitted online by September 28, 2026, or postmarked no later than September 28, 2026,” and its Final Approval Hearing stays on November 5. The Atrium Health site still lists September 28 with no closed notice or extension; its Final Approval Hearing is September 30 at 2:30 p.m. ET. Only ApolloMD and the Mercedes incentive remain open, through September 30.

Update, September 27: both September 25 windows have closed, and neither site posted an extension. Missing them costs less than it sounds. The mattress site says that if you do nothing, “you will receive a $110.00 Credit Voucher for each qualifying mattress order,” usable on the website you bought from and “valid for three (3) years from the date of issuance,” so the claim form only mattered for taking the $110 as cash instead. Tesla’s FAQ says a class member who does nothing “will not receive a cash benefit” but “will still receive the non-cash benefits”: for people who still own an eligible car, Tesla “will not disable Supercharger access, will restore access if it was previously disabled, and will waive any unpaid Idle Fees up to the date of the Settlement.” Refunds of idle fees already paid, the $50 or $350 payment for cars whose Supercharger access was disabled, and the $10.00 option for former owners all required the form. Both settlements still need final approval, at hearings on October 16 for the mattresses and December 2 for Tesla. The O’Reilly, Atrium, ApolloMD, and Mercedes claims below are still open.

Tesla idle fees (September 25). The Shenkman v. Tesla site is for people who “purchased a Supercharger-Enabled Tesla vehicle in California before December 16, 2016, and were a citizen of California as of June 21, 2021,” the group sold free lifetime Supercharging and then charged idle fees. The benefits are refunds of idle fees paid, waiver of unpaid fees, and restoration of Supercharger access, and “the only way Class Members may receive cash payments from this Settlement is by submitting a valid and timely Claim Form.” The hearing is December 2, 2026.

Mattress discounts (September 25). Grossman v. Night US and Brooklyn Bedding covers people who, while in California or as California residents, bought a discounted mattress from leesa.com (July 28, 2019 to March 11, 2024), brooklynbedding.com (September 5, 2020 to March 31, 2024), helixsleep.com (October 2, 2020 to March 31, 2024), or bearmattress.com (June 4, 2021 to April 1, 2024). The award is a flat “$110.00 settlement award for each mattress,” as cash or store credit, and one form covers multiple orders. Hearing October 16.

O’Reilly texts (September 28). The Bryan v. O’Reilly site applies “if you received two or more text messages from O’Reilly Automotive after your telephone number was assigned to you and when your telephone number was on the National Do-Not-Call Registry.” A valid claim pays “up to $22.00 per person. This amount may be reduced on a pro rata basis,” and there is a trap: “If you made an online or in-store purchase from O’Reilly Automotive in the 18 months preceding the text messages, your claim may be denied.” Hearing November 5.

Atrium Health portal (September 28). Roberts v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Hospital Authority concerns “Atrium Health’s use of pixel technology” and includes US residents who “had a MyAtriumHealth or MyCarolinas patient portal account between January 1, 2015 and April 10, 2024.” The site’s homepage states the deadline and the September 30 hearing but leaves payment amounts to its FAQ and plan documents, so check those before filing.

ApolloMD breach (closed September 30). In re ApolloMD Data Breach Litigation covers anyone “sent a notice of the Data Incident” from the May 22, 2025 intrusion at the physician-services company. ApolloMD “will pay $4,020,000.00 into a Settlement Fund” that “will provide Cash Payments and Medical Data Monitoring for Settlement Class Members who submit Valid Claims.” Claims must be “submitted online or postmarked on or before September 30, 2026”; hearing October 5.

Mercedes-Benz diesel incentive (closed September 30). This one is not a class action but a state attorneys general settlement, and the payment is fixed. The AEM Incentive site offers “$2,000 to incentivize installations of the Approved Emission Modification” to current or former owners or lessees of “a Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC II diesel vehicle or a Sprinter BlueTEC II diesel vehicle (both Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner-branded Sprinter diesel vehicles)” registered in the US, “if you had an AEM installed on your Subject Vehicle at an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer on or after August 1, 2023, or if you have an AEM installed on your Subject Vehicle on or before August 31, 2026.” The installation is free and comes with an extended warranty; the claim itself is due September 30.

Monday, September 14: the four that closed together

These were each rechecked against their court-authorized sites on September 12, 2026. The wording below is the deadline language each administrator uses, because the difference between an online cutoff and a postmark cutoff decides whether a late filing counts.

CaseWho it coversDeadline language on the site
Comcast Xfinity breachAnyone sent the December 18, 2023 breach notice”The deadline to submit a Claim Form is September 14, 2026”
Google Play kids privacyUS residents who used a Play app while under 13 since April 2015Online “no later than Monday, September 14, 2026,” or paper “postmarked no later than” that date
Farmers telemarketing (Heckathorn)Calls or texts from seven named agents, April 2020 to June 2026, on the litigation phone list”CLAIM FORM POSTMARKED BY SEPTEMBER 14, 2026”
ChantixAnyone who paid for retail Chantix, September 2015 to September 2021”Your Claim Form must be submitted online or postmarked by September 14, 2026”

Two details worth acting on. First, the Chantix opt-out deadline is also September 14, so anyone who wants to keep the right to sue Pfizer separately has to decide by the same day, and the site notes you “cannot submit both an exclusion request and objection.” Second, Comcast is the only one of the four already through final approval, which the site records as “The Court approved the Settlement on August 20, 2026,” so its payment timeline depends on appeals rather than on a pending hearing.

The Google Play claim has its own walkthrough, including who signs for a minor, in our filing guide.

How to file without losing the claim

  1. Use the site in the table, typed by hand. Every court-authorized site here says some version of “This is the only authorized Settlement Website for this case.” A real claim never asks for a fee, a card number to “release” funds, or a gift card
  2. Read the class definition before the payout. Most of these are narrower than their headlines: Farmers is seven named agents plus a litigation phone list; Tesla is California citizens with pre-2017 cars; the mattress case is California purchasers only; O’Reilly denies claims from recent customers
  3. Check whether you need a notice ID. Breach settlements (Comcast, ApolloMD) tie claims to the notice you were mailed; the Comcast site has an “ID Look Up Form” for people who lost theirs. The Disney and mattress claims were open by self-attestation of the subscription or purchase
  4. Note “postmarked” versus “online.” Comcast’s online cutoff was 11:59 p.m. ET on September 14; Farmers specifies a postmark. When a site gives only a date, assume the end of that day in the court’s time zone and file earlier
  5. Expect months, not weeks. Comcast is the only one whose site shows final approval. The Disney hearing is January 2027; the others fall between September 23 and December 2, and every site notes that appeals can delay payment further. Our refund timing guide covers what “after final approval” tends to mean in practice

Several settlements widely listed for September closed in its first days and are not included here. This page will be updated as the remaining September deadlines pass. The twelve claims closing next month, from the Flo app privacy case on October 13 to the pork and homebuyer settlements at month’s end, are in the October 2026 claim deadlines tracker.

Bottom line

All eleven claim windows this month have closed: the Disney streaming TV case on September 8; the Comcast breach, Google Play kids privacy, Farmers telemarketing and Chantix claims on September 14; the Tesla idle fee and mattress discount claims on September 25; the O’Reilly texts and Atrium Health claims on September 28; and the ApolloMD breach and the Mercedes diesel incentive on September 30. If you filed, keep the confirmation, and expect any payment no earlier than the hearing date in each row.

All class definitions, benefits, and dates quoted from the court-authorized settlement websites linked above, read on September 6 and rechecked on September 9 and September 12, 2026. The ten sites with deadlines from September 14 to 30 were rechecked again on September 27, 2026, along with the Tesla FAQ on what non-filers keep, and the four sites with September 28 and 30 deadlines were rechecked on September 29, 2026, and the ApolloMD, Mercedes, and Atrium Health sites were checked again late on September 30 and just after midnight Pacific on October 1, 2026, as their deadlines passed. Settlement terms can change at the final approval hearing; the site for each case is the authority on your claim. This is general information, not legal advice.
