Here’s everything you need to know about the Cash App class action settlement, including who qualifies, how much you might receive, and how to check your payment status.
Why Is There a Cash App Settlement?
The class action lawsuit alleged that Cash App mishandled account security, allowed unauthorized transactions, and froze user accounts without proper cause or resolution. These issues impacted thousands of users, especially between August 23, 2018, and August 20, 2024. The lawsuit also cited emotional distress, financial harm, and damage to reputations as common consequences for affected users.
In response, Block, Inc. agreed to a $15 million settlement — not as an admission of guilt, but as a resolution to avoid further litigation.
