Social Security Class Action Won — Final Judgment Entered
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- Families with children who receive or received Social Security benefits that may have been miscalculated by the SSA
- Children who are dependents of Social Security beneficiaries and whose benefit amounts were affected by the SSA's calculation method challenged in this lawsuit
- Individuals or guardians who believe the SSA incorrectly computed a child's Social Security benefit payment
- Class members as defined by the court in LNP v. Bisignano — the SSA is expected to identify affected accounts based on its own records
- Note: Specific eligibility criteria and date ranges are still being confirmed — check back for updates as more details become available
How Much Can You Get?
Because this case resulted in a court-ordered recalculation rather than a traditional monetary settlement fund, there is no fixed maximum payout amount announced at this time. The benefit each family receives will depend on how much the SSA's original calculation differed from what the court determined was correct, and how long the incorrect calculation was applied. Some families may receive corrected ongoing benefit amounts, while others could see retroactive back payments if they were underpaid over a period of time. The SSA is responsible for determining the corrected amounts on a case-by-case basis. If you believe your family was affected, it's worth contacting the SSA directly or speaking with a benefits advocate to understand what you may be owed.How to File Your Claim
Filing your claim is quick and easy:
- Review the case details for LNP v. Bisignano to understand if your family's situation matches the type of benefit miscalculation at issue in the lawsuit
- Wait for notification from the SSA — the court's order requires the agency to identify and reach out to affected class members based on its own records
- If you believe you qualify but have not heard from the SSA, contact your local Social Security office directly and reference the case LNP v. Bisignano
- Gather any documentation related to your or your child's Social Security benefit history, including past benefit statements or notices from the SSA
- Consider consulting with a Social Security benefits advocate or attorney if you feel your claim is being overlooked or mishandled

What is the LNP v. Bisignano Social Security class action lawsuit about?
LNP v. Bisignano is a class action lawsuit that challenged how the Social Security Administration calculated certain child benefit payments. Families argued the SSA was using an incorrect method, and the court agreed — entering a final judgment ordering the SSA to recalculate the benefits for affected children and families.
Do I need to file a claim to get my Social Security benefits corrected?
Unlike most class action settlements, this case does not appear to require you to submit a claim form through a settlement website. The court ordered the SSA to identify affected families using its own records and recalculate benefits accordingly. However, if you believe you qualify and haven't heard from the SSA, you should contact them directly and reference this case.
How do I know if my child's Social Security benefits were miscalculated?
The SSA should be reaching out to affected families as part of the court's order. If you suspect your child's benefits may have been calculated incorrectly — especially if your payments seemed lower than expected — you can contact your local Social Security office for a review. Keeping records of past benefit statements can help support your case.
