Questions & Answers
Who is included in the Settlement Class?
- The notice describes the Settlement Class as living people in the United States who were physically present in California and whose communications were monitored, listened to, or recorded by AMN or people acting for AMN without prior consent.
- However, the notice contains an unresolved difference between that formal definition and the date-limited interpretation-session description on its first page. The notice does not say how those descriptions fit together. Contact the Settlement Administrator for help if that difference affects whether you believe you are included.
What do I need to do to seek a payment, and do I need documents?
- You must submit a timely, valid Claim Form to receive a payment. You can submit it online or mail it to the Settlement Administrator.
- The notice does not say what supporting documents, if any, must accompany a Claim Form or what information makes a form valid. It only states that a valid form is required.
How much could a payment be?
- The notice does not set a fixed payment amount for each person. Eligible claimants who do not opt out may receive a proportional share of the net settlement fund.
- No Class Member may receive more than $10,000 across all distributions. The available net fund will be smaller than the $4.5 million gross fund because it pays settlement administration, service awards for the named Plaintiffs, and any attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the Court.
What is the claim deadline?
- The completed Claim Form must be submitted online or mailed with a postmark no later than October 27, 2026.
- The notice says that someone who does not submit a valid electronic claim or a mailed claim postmarked by that date will not receive a payment, but will still be bound by the settlement and the Court’s judgment unless they exclude themselves.
When would payments be sent?
- Payments are not scheduled for a particular date in the notice. They can be made only after the Court grants final approval and the time for appeals ends, or any appeals are resolved.
- The final approval hearing is set for December 18, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., but the hearing itself does not guarantee that payments will be made then or afterward on a set schedule.
How do I exclude myself, and what changes if I do?
- To leave the settlement, send a written Request for Exclusion by U.S. Mail or another delivery service. It must be postmarked or delivery-date stamped by October 27, 2026.
- The request needs the case name and number; your contact information; a statement that you choose exclusion and will not participate; and, if someone submits it for you, that person’s business contact information and a statement that they are authorized to act for you.
- A person who excludes themselves receives no settlement payment, but is not bound by the judgment and may pursue a timely individual claim based on the conduct at issue.
What must I do if I want to object?
- You can object only if you remain in the Settlement Class and have not made a timely exclusion request.
- To make an objection under this notice, you must file a written objection with the Court by October 27, 2026, file a motion to intervene before the final approval hearing, and serve both documents on Class Counsel and AMN’s counsel.
- The written objection has detailed content requirements, including the case information, contact information, any representative’s information and authority, each objection, and the relief requested.
When and where is the final approval hearing?
- The final approval hearing is scheduled for December 18, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., in Department C-63 of the San Diego County Superior Court at 330 W Broadway, San Diego, California 92101.
- You may attend, but the notice says you do not have to attend. The hearing can be postponed or moved without notice.
What rights do I give up if I stay in the settlement?
- Unless you exclude yourself, final approval would release claims against AMN concerning the allegations in this case. In practical terms, the notice says you generally could not bring, continue, or join another lawsuit against AMN about those allegations.
- The full release terms are in the Settlement Agreement, which the notice says can be obtained by contacting the Settlement Administrator.
What source limits or inconsistencies should I know about?
The official notice contains wording that does not line up cleanly in every place. We have not guessed at a resolution; check the notice and confirm important details before acting.
- The headline limits the matter to interpretation sessions between December 4, 2022 and August 7, 2026, while the formal class definition does not repeat those date or session limits. The notice does not explain which wording controls.
