Common questions
- How much does the Maui Fires Class Settlement pay?
- The total settlement fund is $135M. 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 Maui Fires Class Settlement?
- This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was December 22, 2025. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
- Is the Maui Fires Class Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Simpluris is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at mauifiresclasssettlement.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 Maui Fires Class Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. Payments cannot be issued until the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
