How We Work

How we find settlements

We monitor several types of sources on a regular basis:

• Federal and state court dockets for class action filings and approval orders
• FTC and CFPB enforcement actions, refund program announcements, and redress notices
• Settlement administrator websites, which go live when a settlement enters its claims period
• State attorney general settlement announcements
• Legal news publications that cover consumer class actions
• Reader tips submitted to hello@eosguidehub.com

We prioritize settlements that are open for claims right now — meaning the claim form is live, the deadline is confirmed, and the settlement has either received court approval or is far enough along that filing is safe and appropriate.

What we check before publishing

Before a settlement goes on the site, we verify:

• The official settlement website exists and is accessible. We link only to administrator-operated or court-designated claim sites — never to third-party filing services.
• The deadline is real and current. We confirm the filing deadline from the official site or court documents, not secondary sources.
• The eligibility requirements are accurately described. We read the actual settlement agreement or administrator FAQ, not just press coverage, to make sure we're describing who qualifies correctly.
• The payout amounts match the settlement documents. We note when amounts are estimates or depend on claim volume.
• Proof requirements are clearly stated. We distinguish between settlements that require documentation and those that don't, because that affects whether most people can practically file.

What we don't list

Not every settlement that exists makes it onto the site. We skip listings when:

• The claim period has not opened yet and no filing mechanism exists
• The settlement has not received preliminary court approval
• The eligibility criteria are so narrow that the listing would be misleading for most readers
• We cannot locate or verify an official settlement administrator website
• The settlement terms are still being negotiated or disputed

How we write listings

Each listing is written from scratch based on source documents — not copied from press releases or other aggregator sites. We aim to answer the questions most people actually have: do I qualify, how much could I get, what do I need to provide, and where exactly do I file.

We add plain-English context that the official site often omits: what the lawsuit was actually about, what the company did or allegedly did, and what the practical implications of the settlement are. That original context is part of every guide.

Payout amounts that depend on claim volume are labeled as estimates. Settlements where automatic payments apply without filing are noted clearly. Scam warnings with the official URL are part of our standard listing format.

How we handle updates and corrections

Settlement details change. Deadlines get extended. Eligibility rules shift. Payout estimates change as claim volume comes in. When that happens:

• We update the listing and refresh the "last updated" date shown on every guide page
• Settlements are removed when their deadlines pass or when a settlement collapses
• Deadline extensions are updated as soon as we confirm them from the official source

If you find an error — a wrong deadline, a broken link, an eligibility detail that doesn't match the official site — email us at hello@eosguidehub.com. Corrections to deadline-sensitive information get priority, and we fix confirmed errors as quickly as we can.

What eosguide is not

We are not a law firm, a settlement administrator, or a claims processor. We do not file claims on your behalf, receive any portion of settlement payouts, or have any relationship with the defendants or administrators of the settlements we cover.

Every listing links directly to the official settlement website — the place where you actually read the fine print and file. We exist to cut down the time between "I wonder if I qualify for anything" and "I found the right form and submitted it."

Nothing on this site is legal, financial, or tax advice. For questions about your specific situation, talk with a qualified professional.

Affiliate relationships, if any, do not decide which settlements we cover, how we rank them, or whether a listing appears on the site.
