Common questions
- How much does the BYU Broadcasting Video Privacy Settlement pay?
- Estimated payout: Pro rata distribution to qualifying members who file timely claims, after deducting court-approved attorneys' fees, service awards, and administration costs. The total settlement fund is $1.5M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- What is the claim deadline for the BYU Broadcasting Video Privacy Settlement?
- This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was October 14, 2025. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
- Is the BYU Broadcasting Video Privacy Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Settlement administrator not named on page is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at garciavideoprivacyclassaction.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 BYU Broadcasting Video Privacy 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 20, 2025; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
