Do I need to file a claim or provide proof to receive a payment?

  • You do not need to submit a claim form to qualify for the payment described in the notice.
  • If you stay in the class and the settlement receives final approval, the notice says payment will be mailed to you. Make sure the administrator has your current mailing address. You can instead select an electronic payment on the settlement website by December 2, 2026.
  • The notice does not require documents showing a financial loss or other supporting proof for payment. An address update or electronic-payment selection is contact/payment information, not proof of a loss.

What payment does the notice estimate, and how is it treated for tax reporting?

  • The notice estimates your payment at $1,154.06.
  • Eligible class members who do not exclude themselves are to receive equal shares of the Class Fund. The notice describes payments as non-wage damages reported on a 1099.

How are attorney fees and the named plaintiff’s requested award handled?

  • The defendants are paying a total Common Fund of $834,375.00.
  • Class Counsel plans to seek up to $278,125.00 in attorney fees, up to $5,000.00 in costs and expenses, and a $20,000.00 service award for the named plaintiff. The notice says these amounts would be paid from the Settlement Fund if approved by the Court.
  • The Court decides what amounts, if any, to award and may award less than the amounts requested.

When could payments be sent, and how long would a payment remain valid?

  • The Court must approve the settlement before payments can be sent.
  • After approval, payments will be sent only after any appeals and other reviews are finished. The notice does not give a specific payment date.
  • A settlement payment becomes void 180 days after it is issued.

What happens if I choose to leave the settlement, and how do I do that?

  • Leaving the settlement is called requesting exclusion. You will not receive a settlement payment, but you will not release the claims covered by this case or be bound by the Court’s judgment.
  • To exclude yourself, mail a signed and dated letter by December 2, 2026. It must give your full name and address and clearly say that you want to be excluded.
  • You cannot exclude yourself by phone or email. Each person must submit an individual request; group requests are not allowed.

What rights would I give up if I remain in the settlement?

  • If you remain in the settlement after the exclusion deadline, you release the claims covered by the settlement for the January 1, 2023 through July 26, 2025 period.
  • The release covers claims asserted in the complaint against the defendants and the other released parties described in the Settlement Agreement. The notice says claims outside that release are not waived.

How can I object to the settlement?

  • You may object only if you stay in the settlement class; you cannot both exclude yourself and object.
  • To object, file a written objection with the King County Superior Court by December 2, 2026, and mail copies and any supporting documents to Class Counsel and the defendants’ attorneys by that date.
  • The notice lists required information, including your contact information, reasons for objecting, whether you or your attorney plan to attend the hearing, certain prior-objection disclosures, and a signature and date.

Do I have to attend the Final Approval Hearing?

  • The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for January 29, 2027, at 11:30 A.M., at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, Washington. Remote attendance by Zoom is also listed in the notice.
  • You do not have to attend. If you submitted a timely valid written objection, the Court will consider it even if you do not appear.
  • The hearing date and time may change by court order.

Could participating, opting out, or objecting affect my job or application?

  • The notice says the defendants will not retaliate against class members for participating, not participating, or objecting.
  • According to the notice, those choices will not affect employment with the defendants or their treatment of an applicant or current or former employee.
