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 worked at Thermoflex in Illinois. The class covers workers who scanned a finger on a biometric device during employment.
- Between July 27, 2015 and September 3, 2020. That window is the class definition.
- You received the notice. If a notice reached you, you are in the class unless you exclude yourself.
- Nothing to prove and nothing to file. No receipts, no claim form, no documents.
How Much Can You Get?
The fund is $9,000,000. Every class member is entitled to a share of it, which is unusual — most settlements make you claim.
Gross $1,532.18, net about $900. The gross figure is before attorneys’ fees, administration costs and an incentive award to the person who brought the case. The settlement puts the net at roughly $900, and that is the number worth planning around.
The administrator issues a check to each class member after the court grants final approval. You do not need to do anything to receive it.
How to File Your Claim
File with the administrator:
- Do nothing. That is genuinely the instruction. If you are in the class, a check follows final approval.
- Keep your address current with the settlement administrator, because the payment arrives as a mailed check.
- October 26, 2026 is only for opting out or objecting. It is not a claim deadline. Excluding yourself means no payment, but you keep the right to sue separately.
- To exclude yourself, write to Johnson v. Thermoflex Corp., et al., c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799, postmarked by October 26, 2026.
