Is the Ruffulo v. Farmers Insurance Settlement notice real, or a scam?

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 Ruffulo v. Farmers Insurance 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 4, 2026; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
