# Class Action Buddy

> Class Action Buddy helps US consumers discover and file class action settlement claims in minutes. We curate every active settlement, track filing deadlines, and provide a mobile app that auto-fills claim forms so users never miss free money.

Class Action Buddy is a product of Kaptivate Labs LLC. We're a consumer-protection tech company that makes class action recovery accessible to everyday people. As of 2026 we track 200+ historical settlements and 8+ currently-open settlements paying out a total of $685+ per household for no-proof claims alone.

We are NOT a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. We help users fill out and submit publicly available claim forms; settlement eligibility and payouts are determined by court-appointed settlement administrators.

- Active settlements are re-verified weekly against the administrator's official site.
- Deadlines, payouts, and eligibility windows are pulled directly from the official settlement notice. We do not invent or estimate these.
- Each settlement page links to the official administrator URL so users can verify independently.
