Questions about the LA Times case
Did I need proof to file the LA Times settlement claim?
No. Filers attested that they used the LA Times website or app while in California during the January 31, 2023 to December 19, 2025 window. No receipt or access log was required. The administrator reviews claims and can still reject one it finds invalid or duplicated.
How much does the LA Times settlement pay per person?
The administrator estimated $40 to $217 per valid claim. The exact figure comes from dividing what remains of the $3.85 million fund, after fees and costs, by the number of approved claims. The source page had not posted a final per-person amount as of August 30, 2026.
