There's a $12.5 Million Cash App Settlement: Find Out If You're Eligible to Receive the $147 Payout – Woman's World

Have you ever sent money to friends or loved ones? Don’t sleep on this lawsuit!
When it comes to sending and receiving money from loved ones, Cash App makes it quick, efficient, and secure, and provides a platform that you can trust—at least many thought so. If you’re a Washington resident who received one of those Cash App promotional texts inviting you to join the app, you could be in line for a payout of up to $147! A class action lawsuit revealed that Cash App violated Washington state law by encouraging users to send these marketing messages without proper consent through their ‘Invite Friends’ program. Now, after a $12.5 million settlement, you might be eligible to receive payment. Here, learn everything there is to know about the Cash App settlement and find out if you can get paid.
A class action lawsuit against Block, Inc., Cash App’s parent company, alleged that they violated Washington’s Commercial Electronic Mail Act (CEMA) and the Washington Consumer Protection Act (CPA). The lawsuit accused Cash App of doing so through its “Invite Friends” program. This particular feature allowed users to send automatically generated marketing-style texts to their friends and family, encouraging them to join the app. For example, you might have gotten a text like this: “Hey! I’ve been using Cash App to send money and spend using the Cash Card. Try it using my code and you’ll get $5.” These texts might seem harmless, but if you live in Washington, they’re actually a violation of your rights.

According to Washington state law, residents are protected from receiving unsolicited spam messages without their consent. That being said, if a Washington resident received one of these Cash App promotional messages without their consent, they might be entitled to compensation. While Block, Inc. maintains they have not violated any laws, they have agreed to this hefty payout, and you just might be able to get some of it.
If you lived in the state of Washington between November 14, 2019, and August 7, 2025, received one of these promotional messages from a Cash App user at the time you were living there, and didn’t first consent to receiving it, you’re eligible to possibly receive anywhere from $88 to $147. To submit a claim, visit the official settlement website and enter your information. Eligible individuals have until October 27, 2025, to submit their claims.
On December 2, a final fairness hearing will take place and if the settlement is approved, people who submitted their claims will receive payment. If you submit a claim and the settlement is approved, you relinquish your right to bring a lawsuit of your own regarding this matter. For more details on your legal options, visit the official settlement website.
