Did you get an email or a text that you received a few dollars from a Verizon settlement? Last year, Verizon settled a $100 million class action lawsuit claiming its customers were hit with an administrative charge as part of a “deceptive scheme.

Expecting to get $100 from Verizon from its class action lawsuit settlement? Expect to see a deposit or gift card for much, much less.

A class-action lawsuit filed against the company in 2023 claimed Verizon Wireless customers had been subject to an additional "administrative charge" added to their monthly bills to "extract extra funds" from them.

Some Verizon customers were hoping to get as much as $100 as part of a 2024 $100 million class-action settlement. But many payments were nowhere near that total.

Verizon customers reported receiving settlement payments well below the minimum of $15, as stipulated in agreement.
