Every year, companies pay out billions in settlement funds, but most of that money goes unclaimed because people simply don't know about them. We've compiled a list of the best settlements currently open in 2026, ranked by payout potential and ease of filing.

How to Maximize Your Payouts
- File every settlement you qualify for. There's no limit on how many claims you can submit across different settlements.
- File early. Some settlement funds are limited, and early filers may receive higher payouts.
- Provide proof of purchase when available. Even when it's not required, having a receipt can qualify you for a higher payout tier.
- Keep your address current. Most payments arrive as checks in the mail months after you file.
