Last verified September 24, 2026Source: courtlistener-litigationHow ClaimWatch verifies cases

This case was recently filed and is being litigated — the claims below are allegations, not proven facts, and there is no settlement, claim form, or payout yet. Watch the case (right) and we'll email you when it moves, including if it settles and a claim process opens.

What happened

A proposed class action against UnitedHealth Group Inc., apparently on behalf of participants in its 401(k) plan. The case arises under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and involves allegations that the plan was mismanaged, though the specific claims are not detailed in the docket text. These are allegations only and have not been proven.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.

Common questions

Can I file a claim in the UnitedHealth 401(k) ERISA Class Action case?
No. This case has been filed and is still being litigated — there is no settlement, no claim form, and no payout. Many class actions are dismissed or never certified, so a case being filed does not mean anyone will be paid. If it settles and a claim process opens, that will be announced by a court-appointed settlement administrator.
Where is the UnitedHealth 401(k) ERISA Class Action case being heard?
The case is before the District Court, D. Minnesota, case number 0:25-cv-01751. Everything alleged in the complaint is an allegation, not a proven fact.
