Final weeks to claim one-time checks from $3.4m ‘robocall’ settlement – and no proof is needed to get cash – The US Sun
A CLASS action lawsuit settlement is distributing payments to customers affected by a robocall violation.
The settlement will benefit customers who were targeted by artificial phone calls.
UnitedHealthcare has agreed to pay out $3.49 million after a class action lawsuit.
The lawsuit claimed that the health care company violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
According to the lawsuit, UnitedHealthcare made calls to consumers about its Optum HouseCalls program that did not follow TCPA regulations.
The calls used an artificial or prerecorded voice to direct customers to a number that was not associated with a UnitedHealthcare member or planholder.
The calls took place between October 12, 2019 and February 10, 2025.
The lawsuit states that UnitedHealthcare did not receive consent from consumers that it called, which constitutes a TCPA violation.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit allege that they received calls for the Optum HouseCalls program even though they were not UnitedHealthcare members.
Optum, a division of UnitedHealth Group, provides health services, including its HouseCalls program.
These calls arrange for a healthcare professional to visit a member’s home for an annual wellness check.
UnitedHealthcare did not admit to any wrongdoing, but agreed to pay the settlement to resolve the lawsuit.
As part of the UnitedHealthcare settlement, eligible members will receive an equal share of the net settlement fund.
Those who submit a valid claim form can expect to receive between $50 and $125.
The final amount will depend on the total number of claimants and deductions for various costs.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is April 25, 2025.
The UnitedHealthcare robocalls settlement is set for its final approval hearing on July 10, 2025.
Class members must submit a valid claim form by April 25, 2025, in order to receive settlement benefits.
Individuals who received the unlawful calls from UnitedHealthcare about the Optum HouseCalls program between October 12, 2019, and February 10, 2025, are eligible to receive the payment.
Claims are submitted under penalty of perjury.
Individuals who file false claims are subject to severe consequences.
By submitting a fraudulent claim, those individuals are also disadvantaging other eligible Class Members.
