April 2026 is a heavy month for class action settlement deadlines. Several major settlements — including healthcare data breaches, consumer fraud cases, and employment disputes — are closing in the next 30 days. Once a deadline passes, unclaimed money goes back to the settlement fund or a cy pres charity, not to you.
Here's every major settlement closing in April 2026, with eligibility details and filing links.
Why April Is Always a Big Month for Settlements
Settlement administrators typically set deadlines 90–120 days after court-approved notice. Cases that received preliminary approval in December 2025 and January 2026 are hitting their claim cutoffs now. The result: a concentrated wave of closing deadlines in March, April, and May each year.
Miss a deadline, lose your share. Courts don't grant extensions for individual claimants who simply forgot.
Major Settlements Closing in April 2026
1. Outcomes One Healthcare Data Breach Settlement
Total fund: $1.7 million
Deadline: May 5, 2026 (file in April to be safe)
Who qualifies: ~257,500 individuals whose private health information was exposed in the July 2025 data breach
Payout: Up to $5,000 for documented losses; $100 flat cash payment for most claimants
Proof needed: None for $100 base payment
Outcomes One, a Florida-based healthcare technology company, suffered a data breach in July 2025 after a phishing attack compromised employee credentials. Names, demographic information, medical providers, health insurance details, and medication information may have been exposed.

2. Payscale Inc. SDR Overtime Settlement
Total fund: $675,000
Deadline: April 6, 2026
Who qualifies: Payscale sales development representatives employed through April 21, 2025
Payout: Cash payment based on hours worked
Proof needed: Employment verification only
Payscale failed to pay overtime wages and properly record all hours worked by its sales development representatives. If you worked as an SDR at Payscale, this is one of the nearest deadlines this month — file by April 6.
3. Dollar General Pricing Settlement
Total fund: Multi-million
Deadline: April 10, 2026
Who qualifies: Customers who paid more than the shelf price for items at Dollar General between October 10, 2016 and November 19, 2025
Payout: Cash — amount varies by number of claimants
Proof needed: No receipts required for base claim
Dollar General was sued for charging customers more at the register than the price advertised on store shelves — a deceptive pricing practice that violates consumer protection laws. If you shopped at Dollar General at any point in the last 9 years, you likely qualify.

4. RevitaLash Beauty Products Settlement
Total fund: Multi-million
Deadline: April 16, 2026
Who qualifies: U.S. purchasers of RevitaLash lash or brow serums from January 1, 2017 through December 29, 2025
Payout: Cash — varies by number of claims filed
Proof needed: None required for base claim
RevitaLash settled a class action over alleged misrepresentations about its products. If you've bought RevitaLash products in the past 9 years — including from Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, or directly from RevitaLash.com — you qualify without needing receipts.
Beauty product settlements like this one often have low claim rates, meaning individual payouts end up higher than estimated. File your RevitaLash claim →
5. Target Wage Transparency Settlement
Total fund: $2.225 million
Deadline: March 31, 2026 (already closed — file similar employment settlements now)
Payout per person: ~$1,711.93
Who qualified: Job applicants in Washington state who applied to Target positions between Jan 1, 2023 and July 26, 2025 where the posting didn't include salary ranges
Target failed to disclose wage ranges in Washington state job postings, violating the state's wage transparency law. While this specific deadline has passed, it's a useful example of the types of employment settlements now open.
How to Make Sure You Don't Miss April Deadlines
Set a Calendar Reminder
When you find a settlement you qualify for, set a reminder 2 weeks before the deadline. Don't wait until the last day — high-traffic days near deadlines can cause settlement websites to slow down or have technical issues.

What Happens to Unclaimed Settlement Money?
When claim rates are low, one of two things happens:
- Pro-rata redistribution — Unclaimed shares are divided among those who did file, increasing everyone's payout
- Cy pres distribution — Money goes to a court-approved charity related to the case (consumer advocacy organizations, legal aid, etc.)
Either way, the company doesn't get the money back. But if you don't file, you get nothing.
Settlements Coming Up in May & June 2026
Beyond April, several large settlements are approaching their deadlines in the next 60–90 days:
- Hyundai/Kia airbag defect settlement ($62.1M) — Deadline: August 2026
- Various healthcare data breach settlements from late 2025 breaches
- Consumer subscription fraud settlements

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I file after a deadline?
Almost never. Once the deadline passes, the claim period is legally closed. Some settlements allow late mail-in claims if postmarked by the deadline, but online portals cut off at midnight. File early.
Is there a fee to file a claim?
No. All legitimate settlements are free to file. If any website charges you to submit a claim, it's a scam. Report it to the FTC.
What if I moved since the settlement period?
Update your address on the claim form. Checks can be forwarded, or choose electronic payment (direct deposit, PayPal, Venmo) to avoid address issues.
How do I verify a settlement is real?
Look for a court case number, a settlement administrator name, and a .com or .net domain (not a suspicious URL). Cross-check on SettlementRadar. Real settlements are always free.
