Settlements only New York residents can claim
Most class actions are open nationwide, but these 3 are limited to New York residents (or list New York among a handful of eligible states). If you live in New York, these are the ones you can claim that people in other states cannot.

These 79 class action settlements are open to New York residents right now — either nationwide or with New York named among the eligible states. Checked against our settlement database on October 7, 2026. Deadlines already exclude the final week, because a claim that has to be posted needs the lead time. 3 of them are restricted to New York and are listed separately above. The 8 closing soonest are listed below; see all 79.
New York’s own consumer protection law
Class actions are almost always federal or multi-state, so living in New York rarely decides whether you can claim from a settlement. Where it can matter is when the claim rests on New York’s own statute.
New York General Business Law § 349 (N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 349). This one has recently been widened. It now reads “unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices” — not deceptive alone — and defines unfair on the federal test: an act is unfair when it “causes or is likely to cause substantial injury which is not reasonably avoidable and is not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or to competition.” Conduct that is merely unfair, with nothing untrue said, is now inside the statute.
