Common questions
- How much does the Kawulok v JMA Energy Company Oil & Gas Royalty Settlement pay?
- The total settlement fund is $1.8M. 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 Kawulok v JMA Energy Company Oil & Gas Royalty Settlement?
- This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was May 19, 2026. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
- Is the Kawulok v JMA Energy Company Oil & Gas Royalty Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at kawulok-jma.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 Kawulok v JMA Energy Company Oil & Gas Royalty 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 June 9, 2026; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.

Kroger Savings Club Prescription Insurance Settlement
Kroger allegedly failed to consider the prices it charged under its Rx Savings Club or Health Savings Club when determining its usual and customary (U&C) prices submitted to insurance companies. Plaintiffs claim Kroger should have considered these lower Savings Club prices when determining U&C prices for insurance claims. Kroger denies wrongdoing and maintains it correctly reported its retail prices as U&C prices. The court has not decided who is right.
Payments will be calculated based on the amount a claimant paid, in whole or in part, for prescription drugs from Kroger using prescription insurance during the Settlement Class Period.
