Not sure if this settlement applies to you?
Take our 60-second eligibility quiz to find every settlement you qualify for — including this one.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You own a single-family home or townhome located within the mapped Class Area in the Canoga Park or Winnetka neighborhoods of Los Angeles (near the former industrial site at 8020 Deering Avenue) as of the settlement notice date
- OR you owned a single-family home or townhome in the Class Area as of July 1, 2024 but have since sold it (former owner)
- Eligibility is based on ownership and location, not on damage — you qualify even if you do not believe your property was affected
- The Class Area is a specific mapped boundary (not a ZIP code), split into three sub-areas A, B, and C; use the official settlement website's address-search tool and covered-address list to confirm your home
- Eligibility is per property, not per person — a home with multiple owners is one eligible property, and there is one payment per home
- Renters and employees of Northrop Grumman are not covered
How Much Can You Get?
The settlement creates a non-reversionary $75 million cash fund. After court-approved attorneys' fees (class counsel intends to request up to 40%, or $30 million), litigation costs, service awards, and administration costs, the remaining net proceeds are split among class members. First, $100,000 is set aside for former owners and divided equally, working out to an estimated $444 each. The rest goes to current homeowners by sub-area, with each sub-area's share divided equally among the valid claims in it: Sub-Area A (about 789 homes) receives 40% of the remaining funds, Sub-Area B (about 727 homes) receives 28%, and Sub-Area C (about 1,778 homes) receives 32%. Based on the notice's conservative estimates, that comes to roughly $21,110 per home in Sub-Area A, $16,037 in Sub-Area B, and $7,494 in Sub-Area C. These are estimates only. The actual amount depends on the fees and costs the court approves and how many valid claims are filed, and there is a single payment per home regardless of the number of owners.How to File Your Claim
You will need the Claim ID and PIN printed on the notice the administrator sent you. This settlement is not open to anyone who simply believes they qualify.
- Confirm your home is inside the Class Area using the map and address-search tool on the official settlement website, canogaparkclassaction.com
- File a claim form with proof of ownership — a document showing you own or previously owned the home
- To file online, you will need the Unique ID and PIN printed on your mailed or emailed notice
- Submit so the claim is postmarked or received by the class administrator no later than October 10, 2026
- If you would rather exclude yourself (opt out) or object, that deadline is earlier — September 25, 2026
- No payment date has been set; the final approval hearing is November 12, 2026, and payments follow final approval and any appeals

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline to file a claim for the Northrop Grumman $75 Million Canoga Park/Winnetka Settlement?
The current deadline to file a claim is Oct 10, 2026. Claims sent by mail must be postmarked by this date, so allow about a week for delivery if you are not filing online.
Do I need documentation for the Northrop Grumman $75 Million Canoga Park/Winnetka Settlement?
Yes — this settlement requires supporting documentation, and what counts is set out on the official claim form rather than being the same in every case: a consumer case may ask for receipts or order confirmations, while a financial or data-breach case usually turns on account records or the notice the administrator sent you. You do, however, need the Claimant ID or PIN from the notice the administrator sent you.
How do I file a claim for the Northrop Grumman $75 Million Canoga Park/Winnetka Settlement?
File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.
Who qualifies for the Northrop Grumman Canoga Park settlement?
People who own a single-family home or townhome inside the mapped Class Area in Canoga Park or Winnetka as of the notice date, plus people who owned one there as of July 1, 2024 but have since sold it. Eligibility is based on ownership and location, not on whether your property was damaged. Renters and Northrop Grumman employees are excluded.
How do I know if my home is in the Class Area?
The Class Area is a specific mapped boundary, not a ZIP code. Use the class area map, address-search tool, and covered-address list on the official settlement website, canogaparkclassaction.com. If you received a notice and claim form you did not request, public records already flag you as a possible current or former owner in the area.
How much money can I get?
Estimates by sub-area are about $21,110 per home in Sub-Area A, about $16,037 in Sub-Area B, and about $7,494 in Sub-Area C, plus about $444 for former owners. These are estimates; the final amount depends on the fees and costs the court approves and the number of valid claims. There is one payment per home no matter how many people own it.
Do I need proof, and what is the deadline?
Yes. You must file a claim with a document showing ownership (and, to file online, the Unique ID and PIN from your notice). The claim must be postmarked or received by October 10, 2026. The separate deadline to opt out or object is September 25, 2026.
What was the contamination?
Plaintiffs allege that operations in the late 1960s to early 1970s by alleged predecessors of Northrop Grumman at a Canoga Park facility (the former site at 8020 Deering Avenue) left TCE and PCE in the soil and groundwater, lowering property values and requiring vapor-intrusion mitigation. Northrop Grumman denies the allegations, and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.
