Common questions
- How much does the TBJ Drywall & Taping Settlement pay?
- Estimated payout: Individual amounts vary and are specified in mailed/emailed notices; to be paid in five installments between December 16, 2024 and April 10, 2028. 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 TBJ Drywall & Taping Settlement?
- The claim deadline is January 11, 2028. Filing is free and is done on the official settlement website at tbjdrywallsettlement.com.
- Do I need proof of purchase for the TBJ Drywall & Taping Settlement?
- 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 TBJ Drywall & Taping Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- State of Illinois Office of the Attorney General is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at tbjdrywallsettlement.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 TBJ Drywall & Taping Settlement?
- 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 TBJ Drywall & Taping, Inc. separately over these same claims.
