What is Class Action Buddy?

Class Action Buddy (CAB) is an app that helps you discover and file claims for class action lawsuit settlements. We find settlements you may be eligible for and make it easy to submit your claim in under a minute.

---

Is Class Action Buddy a law firm?

No. CAB is NOT a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We are a technology company that helps you discover and submit claims for settlements that have already been approved by courts.

How does it work?

1. Create your profile with your information
2. Browse available settlements
3. Tap "Start Claim" on any settlement
4. Review and sign the auto-filled form
5. We print and mail your claim

That's it! We handle the paperwork, you get the money.

Do I need proof of purchase?

Most settlements we feature do NOT require proof of purchase. These "no proof" settlements typically have lower maximum payouts but are much easier to claim. We clearly mark which settlements require proof.

---

How much money can I get?

Payouts vary widely by settlement. Typical "no proof required" claims pay $5-$100. Some settlements pay more. On average, active CAB users claim $50-$500+ per year.

IMPORTANT: We cannot guarantee any specific payment amount. Settlement administrators make all payment decisions.

When will I get paid?

Payment timing depends on the settlement administrator. Most claims are paid within:

Settlement Size	Typical Timeline
Smaller settlements	3-6 months
Larger settlements	6-12 months
With appeals	May take longer

We'll notify you when your claim status changes.

How do I receive payment?

Most settlements pay via check or digital payment. In your profile, you can set your preference for Venmo or Zelle. Make sure your phone number matches your Venmo/Zelle account.
