Cash App $15 Million Security Settlement: Payout Status

Who qualifies

• The class covered current and former customers of Block, Inc. or Cash App Investing, LLC, or any of their affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries, whose personal information, Cash App account, or Cash App Investing account was accessed or obtained without authorization.
• It also covered customers who had unauthorized or fraudulent withdrawals or transfers of funds to or from a Cash App account or a linked financial account, or who experienced a deficiency in how an error on the account was resolved.
• The qualifying events had to occur between August 23, 2018 and August 20, 2024 — August 20, 2024 was the Notice Date that closed the class period.
• Reimbursement of up to $2,500 for out-of-pocket losses required third-party documentation tracing the loss to a data security incident, an unauthorized account event, or a failed error resolution.
• Every class member could also claim up to three hours of lost time at $25 per hour, for a maximum of $75, plus documented transaction losses.
• Only claims submitted by the November 18, 2024 deadline count. That deadline was already extended once, from November 1, 2024, and late claims are no longer accepted.

Cash App settlement status — what happens now

1. 1

   The claim deadline closed in November 2024

   Claim forms were due November 18, 2024, extended from an original date of November 1, 2024. The exclusion and objection deadlines were moved to the same date. No further claims are accepted, and the settlement website has stopped taking late forms.

2. 2

   The court approved the settlement in March 2025

   Judge-scheduled proceedings ran through a final approval hearing on January 13, 2025, which had been moved from December 16, 2024. The court granted final approval on March 27, 2025, and the Final Approval Order is posted on the administrator's site.

3. 3

   Claim review is finished, but the money has not gone out

   The administrator completed its review of claim-form deficiency responses and appeals, and stated in an April 9, 2026 update that settlement payments would be issued to approved claims in the coming months. Until the administrator posts a distribution notice, no Cash App settlement payments have been sent.

4. 4

   How to check the status of a claim you filed

   Contact the settlement administrator directly at 1-866-615-9740, or check cashappsecuritysettlement.com, which is where distribution notices are posted. The administrator can confirm whether your claim was approved and what payment method it is set to use.

5. 5

   This is not the $12.5 million Cash App text message settlement

   Two separate Cash App settlements are often confused. This one is the $15 million security settlement over data incidents and unauthorized transfers. A different case, Bottoms v. Block, resolved unwanted "Invite Friends" referral texts sent to Washington residents for $12.5 million and paid $394.36 per approved claim starting in February 2026. Filing in one had no effect on the other.

6. 6

   Protect the account now, since the class period has closed

   The settlement only covers events through August 20, 2024. For anything after that, enable the Cash App security lock and two-factor authentication, and report unauthorized transfers to Block in writing immediately — a documented, timely dispute is what makes reimbursement possible in any future case.

7. 7

   Do not miss the next one

   This settlement's window was open for roughly four months, and most eligible users never filed. ClaimBee scans your inbox for the breach notices and settlement emails you have already received, matches them to active claims, and reminds you before the deadline.
