Settlement Administrator

A settlement administrator is a specialized third-party firm that handles the mechanics of a class action settlement: notifying class members, processing claim forms, and distributing payments.

What administrators do

• Design and execute the class notice program (mail, email, digital ads).
• Set up and run the settlement website where class members can review their status and file claims.
• Receive and validate claim forms.
• Calculate individual payout amounts under the settlement formula.
• Issue payment via check, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, or ACH depending on settlement terms.

Well-known administrators

Verita (formerly JND Legal Administration), Angeion, Epiq, Kroll Settlement Administration, KCC, Atticus, RG2, CPT Group, Kurtzman Carson, Analytics Consulting, and Gilardi & Co. These firms compete for admin contracts in class action settlements based on their notice-program capabilities, pricing, and reputation with the court.

How to contact the administrator

Every settlement notice includes contact info — mailing address, phone, and email — specific to that settlement's administrator. Email tends to be fastest. Include your case name/number, your full name at time of filing, and current address.
