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

Ten class action claims are still open this month, from the Comcast breach (Sept 14) to Tesla and Mercedes. Eligibility, payouts and the official site for each.

Published Updated

September 2026 has an unusual cluster of class action claim deadlines, and the first of them has now passed: the Disney streaming TV case closed to new claims on September 8. Ten remain, and the next wall is September 14, when four windows close at once, including the $117.5 million Comcast data breach settlement. 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

  • 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
  • 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)
  • 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)
  • September 28: O’Reilly Auto Parts texts (“up to $22.00 per person”); Atrium Health patient portal pixel case
  • September 30: 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

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

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 (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 (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.

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 are open by self-attestation of the subscription or purchase
  4. Note “postmarked” versus “online.” Comcast’s online cutoff is 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 already approved. 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 September deadlines pass and as October claim periods open.

Bottom line

Of the eleven claim windows this month, one has closed: the Disney streaming TV case ended on September 8. The biggest one still open is the Comcast breach on September 14, for anyone who received the December 2023 notice, and it needs no proof of loss for the roughly $50 alternative payment. Three more close the same day, and six more between September 25 and 30. File on the court-authorized site, keep the confirmation, and expect the check 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, 2026. Settlement terms can change at the final approval hearing; the site for each case is the authority on your claim.
