Proof Required?
GEICO's insurance-reporting settlement pays automatically: if you are in the class, a check for roughly $150 arrives without any claim form. The case is Kohama v. GEICO, No. 8:24-cv-00743-TDC, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, and it covers people who disputed information through LexisNexis Risk Solutions between March 13, 2022 and May 1, 2026 — specifically disputes saying a C.L.U.E. insurance report had someone else's information mixed into it. The class was identified from LexisNexis's own records, so notices went out by mail. Do nothing and you stay in. Once the court grants final approval, payment arrives as a mailed check, or you can elect a digital payment instead at the settlement site. October 20, 2026 is the deadline to exclude yourself; October 31 is the deadline to object. Neither is a claim deadline — there is no claim to file here, which is rarer than it sounds.

Who Was Eligible?

Who the settlement covered:

  • You filed one or more disputes through LexisNexis Risk Solutions between March 13, 2022 and May 1, 2026
  • The dispute said information was incorrectly linked to your C.L.U.E. insurance report, or that your file was mixed with someone else's — information that did not belong to you or anyone in your household
  • You received the settlement notice by mail — the class was identified from LexisNexis's records, so the notice is what tells you that you are included

How Much Did It Pay?

Payment is automatic and expected to be approximately $150 per class member. After the court grants final approval and the settlement becomes effective, a check is mailed to the address on file — or you can elect a digital payment at the settlement site instead. There is no claim form and nothing to prove.

How you get paid

You did not have to file anything. The steps below describe how the administrator pays class members and what you can still do to make sure your payment reaches you.

  • There is no claim form — class members who do nothing receive the payment after final approval
  • To receive a digital payment instead of a mailed check, make that election at the official settlement site by January 14, 2027
  • To exclude yourself, write to the Settlement Administrator by October 20, 2026; objections are due October 31, 2026; the final approval hearing is January 14, 2027 (dates subject to change per the settlement site)

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to file a claim for the GEICO Kohama settlement?

No. Payment is automatic for class members who do not exclude themselves — approximately $150 by mailed check after final approval, or a digital payment if you elect one at the settlement site.

Who is in the Kohama v. GEICO settlement class?

People who disputed information through LexisNexis Risk Solutions between March 13, 2022 and May 1, 2026, where the dispute concerned a C.L.U.E. insurance report carrying information that did not belong to them — a mixed file — and who received LexisNexis's response. The class was identified from records and notified by mail.

What are the deadlines in the GEICO settlement?

October 20, 2026 to exclude yourself and October 31, 2026 to object. Neither is a claim deadline, because there is no claim to file — doing nothing keeps you in the settlement and gets you paid.
