HireVue Illinois Video Interview Settlement: Deadline Passed

Who may qualify for this settlement?

• You may be in the Settlement Class if you completed a HireVue interview while you were in Illinois, between January 27, 2017 and June 25, 2026, and the interview involved the relevant technology. The notice describes that technology as a model that may have collected voice and facial biometrics.
• Receiving the notice does not itself guarantee a payment. You must submit a timely claim that is accepted as valid, and the settlement must receive final approval.

What cash payment could I receive?

• The settlement fund is $3.75 million.
• Valid claimants would receive equal shares of the fund after settlement administration costs, approved lawyers’ fees and expenses, and class representatives’ service awards are paid.
• The notice estimates a payment of $150, but it is not a guaranteed amount. The final amount depends, among other things, on how many valid claims are submitted.

How do I ask for a payment?

• Submit a Claim Form by October 13, 2026.
• You can get the form and submit it online through the settlement website. You may also mail it to HireVue BIPA Settlement, c/o Simpluris, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799. A mailed form must be postmarked by the deadline.
• The notice does not say what supporting documents or other verification, if any, are required for a claim to be considered valid.

How do I request exclusion from the settlement?

• You may request exclusion only for yourself. Send a signed letter by mail, postmarked by September 28, 2026, or send an email by that date.
• The request must include the case name and number, your full name, home address, email address, telephone number, a statement that you want to be excluded, and your signature. The notice also says mass or class exclusion requests are not allowed.
• The notice says you cannot receive a cash payment if you exclude yourself.

How can I object to the settlement?

• An objection is a written statement explaining why you oppose the proposed settlement. You cannot object if you exclude yourself.
• Send the written objection to both the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois and the Settlement Administrator. The notice says the Court must receive it no later than September 28, 2026.
• The notice lists detailed information that an objection must include, such as your contact information, why you believe you are a class member, your reasons and supporting evidence, and whether you plan to attend the final hearing. If a lawyer represents you for the objection, that lawyer must file a notice of appearance by September 28, 2026, and you are responsible for that lawyer’s fees and expenses.

What happens if I do nothing?

• You will not receive money from this settlement.
• Unless you request exclusion, you will still be bound by the court’s orders and judgments and will give up the settlement-related claims described in the notice, even if you do not submit a claim.

When might payments be sent?

• If the settlement receives final approval and your claim is valid, the Settlement Administrator will send a check or, if you choose, make an electronic transfer.
• The parties say payment should occur as soon as possible after the approval order becomes final, which they estimate may be about 60 days after final approval. An appeal may delay payment.
• Any check expires 75 days after it is issued.

When is the final approval hearing, and is payment certain?

• The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for October 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois, 18 N. County Street, Waukegan, Illinois, Courtroom 202.
• The court may change the hearing, including holding it remotely. Attendance is not required.
• The court must finally approve the settlement before it takes effect. If approval is denied, reversed on appeal, or the settlement otherwise does not become final, no settlement benefits will be paid at that time.
