Where the money is going
This is a claims-made settlement: Ben E. Keith pays valid claims directly, and separately pays settlement administration costs and any Court-awarded attorneys' fees, costs, and service awards, which do not reduce class member benefits. Cash Payments A, B, C, and D are subject to an aggregate cap of $900,000. If valid claims exceed that cap, payments are reduced pro rata. Funds that go undistributed, such as uncashed checks, revert to Ben E. Keith.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the Final Approval Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. Cash Payment checks left uncashed for 120 days after issuance are void, and those funds revert to Ben E. Keith.
Common questions
How much can I get?
You may claim up to $5,000.00 for documented Extraordinary Losses, up to $400.00 for documented Ordinary Losses (which includes up to $90.00 for Lost Time at $30.00 per hour), or instead a $35.00 Alternative Cash Payment, plus three years of one-bureau Credit Monitoring. All Cash Payments are subject to a $900,000.00 Aggregate Cap, and if total Valid Claims exceed that amount, each approved payment will be reduced on a pro rata basis.
Do I need proof to file a claim?
Claims for Extraordinary Losses and Ordinary Losses must be supported by reasonable documentation, and personal certifications, declarations, or affidavits from the Settlement Class Member alone are not proper documentation. No documentation is required to claim the $35.00 Alternative Cash Payment.
What is the deadline to file a claim?
Claim Forms must be submitted online by November 26, 2026, and Claim Forms submitted by mail must be received or postmarked no later than November 26, 2026.
What if I did not receive a notice?
The online claim page includes an option stating "I did not receive a notice and need to fill out a Claim Form." The site also says you can visit the Submit a Claim page to download a full Claim Form to complete and return by mail, or contact the Settlement Administrator and ask to have a Claim Form mailed to you. If you are not sure whether you are included, the site says you can contact the Settlement Administrator.
