  • You are a U.S. resident who purchased or used the system during the applicable class period (exact dates pending — check the official settlement site for details)
  • You have not previously released your claims against Generac related to this issue

How Much Can You Get?

Eligible claimants may receive up to $150 in cash compensation, depending on their claim and the total number of valid claims submitted.

Keep in mind that if a large number of people file valid claims, individual payouts may be reduced on a pro-rata basis. The $15 million fund will be split among all approved claimants after attorneys' fees and administrative costs are deducted.
