Common questions

How much does the NCAA Concussion Settlement Medical Monitoring Program pay?
Estimated payout: Free medical screening and free medical evaluations up to two times. 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 NCAA Concussion Settlement Medical Monitoring Program?
The claim deadline is November 18, 2069. Filing is free and is done on the official settlement website at collegeathleteconcussionsettlement.com.
Do I need proof of purchase for the NCAA Concussion Settlement Medical Monitoring Program?
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 NCAA Concussion Settlement Medical Monitoring Program notice real, or a scam?
Verita is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at collegeathleteconcussionsettlement.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.
How long until I get paid from the NCAA Concussion Settlement Medical Monitoring Program?
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.
What happens if I do nothing?
You receive no payment, and in most class actions you also give up the right to sue National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) separately over these same claims.
