If you qualify for any of the cases below, you might be eligible for a payout with no lawyer needed! Check out the settlements ending in July and file a claim before the deadline.

$1.5M SeaWorld Annual Pass Renewals
Deadline: July 22, 2025
SeaWorld fans in California, if your San Diego annual pass renewed automatically without you realizing it, then you can get a piece of the $1.5 million class action settlement.
The theme park was accused of violating California’s auto-renewal laws by not clearly disclosing terms or getting proper consent when renewing annual passes.
So if you bought a SeaWorld San Diego annual pass online or in-app after February 28, 2019, and it auto-renewed without a refund, you may be owed money as long as your first renewal happened before February 28, 2025.
Payouts will be split based on the number of claims, and if you qualify, you’ll get paid automatically, making this one the easiest of the bunch. If you got a notice in the mail, you’ll get to choose an e-payment or a check.
$22.5M Raw Chicken Prices
Deadline: July 31, 2025
Several major chicken producers like Tyson and Pilgrim’s Pride were sued for allegedly fixing chicken prices, and now they’re paying up again.
This new round adds $22.5 million to a settlement that now totals $203.5 million.
The lawsuit claims big chicken companies teamed up to raise prices, making people overpay for fresh or frozen raw chicken from 2009-2019. As with most class actions, they’re not admitting guilt, but they’re settling to make it go away.
So if you bought raw chicken (fresh or frozen, NOT nuggets or deli meat) between January 1, 2009-July 31, 2019 in these states, you’re in: CA, DC, FL, HI, IL, IA, KS, ME, MA, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NM, NY, NC, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, UT, and WI.
The amount is unknown as it depends on the number of claimants, but if you have receipts or proof of purchase, then you’ll get a bigger payout. Those with no proof anymore can still get a smaller check.
