A few weeks left to request payment from Verizon
The total will increase in $1 increments depending on how long you’ve been a Verizon customer, according to the settlement administrator.
In the settlement email, the customer will receive an ID and confirmation code that they will need to receive the money.
Once customers locate the correct information, they will have until April 15 to submit a complaint online.
After settlement is complete, customers will be paid by check or electric payment.
Verizon Cash Payment Eligibility
Eligible customers must have received postpaid data or wireless services from Verizon, which is the opposite of a prepaid plan.
Postpaid users typically sign contracts and are charged based on monthly usage.
Those eligible for payment should have received notice of the process by mail or email.
It has not yet been determined how much each eligible customer will receive, which is common in class action lawsuits.
Those eligible for the money will likely receive between $15 and $100.
Verizon agrees payment of US$100 million

Under the agreement, Verizon has decided to amend its customer agreement to more clearly disclose the administrative fee in question, although it still intends to charge it.
To qualify for the class action settlement, you must be a current or former U.S. customer who was charged and paid an Administrative Fee and/or a Telecommunications and Administrative Recovery Fee between January 1, 2016 and November 8, 2023, the notice states.
