Questions & Answers
Who is included in the Settlement Class?
- You may be included if you completed and maintained an application for a Washington job with Team Car Care, LLC or Team Car Care West, LLC during the class period, using a job post on the companies’ website or an authorized third-party recruiting platform.
- The post also must not have listed a wage scale or salary range. The notice says the class period ends April 28, 2026, the preliminary-approval date.
- The notice says you received it because the companies’ records indicate you are eligible. If you are unsure, contact the Settlement Administrator.
What payment may I receive?
- You must submit a timely, valid Claim Form. Staying in the class by itself does not result in a payment.
- People with valid claims will receive equal shares of the Net Settlement Fund, meaning the money remaining for class payments after applicable fund deductions. The notice estimates your share at $1,519.58; it is not a guaranteed amount.
- The notice says payments will be reported as non-wage damages on a 1099.
How do I submit a claim, and do I need proof?
- Complete the Claim Form and submit it by August 21, 2026.
- You may submit it online using the Unique ID and PIN shown on your notice, or send it by email or mail to the Settlement Administrator. Mailed claims must be postmarked by the deadline.
- The notice does not name specific documents that every claimant must provide. However, claims will be checked, and the Settlement Administrator may ask for more information.
When would a payment be sent?
- The Court must first grant final approval. Then any appeals or other reviews must be completed before checks are mailed to eligible people with timely, valid claims.
- The October 9, 2026 hearing is when the Court is scheduled to consider whether the settlement is fair. It is not a promised payment date.
- A mailed check expires 120 days after it is issued. Keep the Settlement Administrator updated if your address or phone number changes.
What happens if I do nothing?
- If you take no action, you will not receive money from this settlement.

- This release applies even if you do not submit a claim. It does not waive claims outside the release.
