Verizon Class Action Payouts Are Rolling In – And the Amount Might Surprise You!
Here’s what you need to know about the Verizon Class Action Lawsuit…
In January 2024, we reported that Verizon customers were receiving notifications regarding a Class Action Lawsuit against Verizon. It stemmed from complaints that Verizon was charging an “administration charge” without properly disclosing the fees in their advertised monthly plan prices.
Verizon denied any wrongdoing, but still agreed to settle the case, and had stated that claims made by mid-April 2024 would receive at least $15 per person, though final payments may vary.
Now payments are starting to hit the accounts of those who filed a claim, and many were disappointed to see the payments were much smaller. Two Hip Sidekicks who are Verizon customers each received between $8 – $9, about half of the original estimate. 😕
Let us know in the comments if you’ve received your payment, then check out more of the latest news!
I did receive something about getting a Venmo deposit about the Verizon class action….. It wanted me to click on something to accept the deposit. I wasn’t sure if that was a scam or not, I haven’t clicked on it yet.
I got the email last night & I thought it was a scam. Oopsie! Thank you for poating this! I may have to search the email.
You’re welcome!
I received $9.33 last night

Nice score!
I forgot all about this, just checked my email and I got $2.37😂
I got $14.81. I almost reported it as a scam, too. It’s not a ton, but it’s sounds like more than most received. Hopefully others are on the higher end too.
I received $14.81 🙂
I got 13.64
i received $14.37
I apparently asked them to pay out via Venmo…I got $14.81 added to my venmo account last night. I had forgotten all about it.
did you have to do anything? I got an email with a link from venmo…. seemed like a scam
I got $10.52 via Venmo
I got $4.59, thank you so much for posting!!
You’re welcome! 🙌

I got an email saying my payment was $14.81. At first I thought it was a scam but after reading this it looks legit. I wasn’t able to get the payment via my Venmo. I think they just make it hard for you to claim the money in hopes you’ll give up.
was notified that I was also getting $14.81.
Got $14.81. It is a credit/debit card and they can be a pain to use all of the balance in a store. So I purchased an Amazon card online for $14.81 and will use it there.
Thanks for sharing, IB. We love that Amazon “hack” of using random gift card amounts to apply to your Amazon balance instead! 🤗 Thanks for sharing!
What were the payment options? Just Venmo?
Hey Klp! Here’s what I found on the original settlement details for payment –
Settlement payments will be issued to valid claimants after the settlement is approved and becomes final, by check or electronic payment.
For any settlement payment checks that are uncashed or deemed undeliverable by the Settlement Administrator, those amounts will be treated as unclaimed property of the corresponding Settlement Class Member, subject to applicable state unclaimed property procedures (the additional administrative costs of such unclaimed property process will be deducted from the unclaimed property amounts on a pro rata basis).
I received $14.81! But I’ve also been a customer since 2001- I can’t remember if that had any affect on the payment or not.
I just got an alert that i got a zelle payment from verizon for $14.81 i dont remeber requesting zelle but i did not have to claim it they sent it straight to my bank
