Common questions

What is the claim deadline for the Avfuel Data Breach Settlement?
This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was November 4, 2025. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
Do I need proof of purchase for the Avfuel Data Breach Settlement?
No. You can file without a receipt or proof of purchase. You attest that you qualify and submit basic details, though claims are still subject to review and submitting a false claim is a crime.
Is the Avfuel Data Breach Settlement notice real, or a scam?
Simpluris is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at avfueldatabreachsettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
When will payments from the Avfuel Data Breach Settlement be sent?
Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for November 19, 2025; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
