Proof Required?
Transamerica has agreed to pay $110 million to settle a class action lawsuit involving its Direct Recognition Life 10 and Direct Recognition Life 11 insurance policies. The lawsuit claimed that Transamerica failed to properly credit Cash Value Increases to policyholders — meaning eligible customers may have received less than they were entitled to under their policy terms. The good news for affected policyholders: you don't need to file a claim form to receive your share of the settlement. If you qualify, Transamerica is expected to apply your payment or credit automatically. This makes the process unusually straightforward compared to most class action settlements. If you own or previously owned one of these policies, it's worth understanding whether you're covered and what you might receive. Class Action Buddy can help you track this settlement and stay informed about when payments are distributed.

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $110 million, which will be distributed among eligible Direct Recognition Life 10 and 11 policyholders.
