Claim Form Deadline: January 8, 2025
Payout: $3.00 – $1,161.09
Proof Required: Yes
If you purchased gasoline in California while living outside the state, you may be eligible for compensation from a class action settlement involving California energy companies. This settlement pertains to gasoline bought between February 18, 2015, and May 31, 2017.
The nearly $14 million lawsuit was settled with energy companies accused of manipulating gasoline prices in California, impacting both businesses and non-residents who bought fuel during that time.
The total amount allocated for non-California residents (individuals or businesses) is $13,930,000.
To qualify for a payout, you must have purchased gasoline (regular, mid-grade, or premium) at retail in California for personal use—not for resale—between February 18, 2015, and May 31, 2017. Additionally, you must have lived outside California at the time of purchase or been a business.
The amount you could receive depends on how much gasoline you bought, where you made your purchase, your status as a business or non-resident, and how many others are also eligible for a payout. Payments may vary and could be less than the estimated damages, with a minimum payment of $3.00. Estimates suggest average eligible businesses might receive between $580.54 and $1,161.09, while average eligible non-residents could get between $3.84 and $11.53.
To file a claim, you can complete an online form or download a claim form (either Business or Consumer) from the settlement website and mail it to the Settlement Administrator. The claim deadline is January 8, 2025.
Yes, proof may be required when submitting a claim. You might need to provide a sworn statement or documentation confirming your identity, such as receipts. Note that third-party submissions are not allowed; you must file the claim yourself or on behalf of your business.
