Cash App Referral Text Lawsuit Resolved: How to Claim $147

Cash App Referral Text Lawsuit: Overview

The Cash App referral text lawsuit resolved recently with a settlement that offers eligible users $147. The case focused on automated referral messages that some users said were sent without proper consent.

This article explains who is eligible, how the $147 payment works, the steps to file a claim, and practical tips to avoid mistakes during the process.

Cash App Referral Text Lawsuit: Who Is Eligible?

Eligibility typically depends on whether you received a qualifying referral text from Cash App during the class period defined by the settlement. You do not need to prove financial loss in most cases.

Common eligibility criteria include:

• Receiving an automated referral or invite text tied to Cash App services within specific dates set by the settlement.
• Being a resident of the United States during the class period.
• Not having previously opted in to relevant text messaging or having an existing consent that the settlement excludes.

How Class Membership Is Determined

The administrator identified potential class members using phone and account records from the defendant. If you were on the list, you should receive notice by mail or email.

If you didn’t get a notice but think you qualify, follow the claims steps below and include documentation showing you received referral messages.

How to Claim the $147 Compensation

Filing a claim is usually straightforward. The settlement administrator runs an online claim portal and provides a paper form option.

Follow these steps to file a valid claim:

1. Find the official settlement website link in the notice you received or from court communications.
2. Create an account or log in to the claim portal if required.
3. Provide your contact information and verify your phone number or email tied to the referral text.
4. Upload or attach proof, if requested, such as screenshots of the referral text or phone records showing the message.
5. Submit the claim before the deadline and keep a copy of your confirmation number or email.

Documents You May Need

• Screenshot of the referral text (date and sender visible).
• Phone bill or carrier record showing the incoming message.
• Cash App account email or user ID if the claim portal asks for it.

Cash App Referral Text Lawsuit: Claim Deadlines and Timeline

Pay attention to the official claim deadline listed in your notice. Deadlines are final and late claims are commonly denied.

Typical timeline stages include notice distribution, claim filing, claim verification, and distribution of funds. Verification can take several weeks to months depending on volume.

What to Expect After Filing

• Confirmation email or confirmation number right away.
• Verification request if additional documentation is needed.
• Final approval and payment within the time window announced by the settlement administrator.

Practical Tips for Filing Your Claim

Preparation reduces delays. Gather your proof early and use the official settlement website. Avoid sharing sensitive information beyond what the claim form requests.

Other helpful tips:

• Save the confirmation email and take screenshots of your submission page.
• Use stable internet and avoid submitting multiple duplicate claims.
• If you have questions, contact the settlement administrator using contact details on official notices, not third-party sites.

Common Questions and Pitfalls

Some applicants mistakenly expect larger payments or assume automatic distribution. Most settlements require an active claim unless the settlement specifically states otherwise.

Watch for scams. Official notices will direct you to a court-approved website and include contact information tied to the case. Do not pay to file a claim.

What If My Claim Is Denied?

The settlement administrator usually allows an appeal or resubmission with corrected documentation. Follow the provided process and deadlines to contest a denial.

Keep copies of all communications and documentation in case you need to escalate or ask the court to review your application.

Real-World Example: A Small Case Study

Maria, a part-time freelancer, received an unrecognized Cash App referral text in January during the settlement class period. She saved a screenshot and her phone bill showing the incoming number.

Maria found the official settlement website from her mailed notice, uploaded her screenshot, and entered her phone number. She received a confirmation email within 48 hours and the $147 payment by electronic deposit within three months.

This example shows that simple documentation and using the official portal can speed approval and payment.

Final Checklist Before You File

• Confirm you fit the class description in the notice.
• Collect screenshots, phone records, and any Cash App identifiers.
• Use the court-approved settlement website or the official paper form.
• Submit before the deadline and save confirmation details.
• Beware of scams and do not pay anyone to file your claim.

Following these steps will give you the best chance to receive the $147 settlement payment if you qualify. If you are unsure about eligibility, consult the settlement FAQ or contact the administrator for clarification.
