A Spam Text Settlement is now available for individuals who received unsolicited Cash App messages between November 2019 and August 2025. Cash App, a widely used service with approximately 57 million active monthly users, has reached a $12.5 million settlement after allegations of violating two Washington state laws. While the company has denied any wrongdoing, it has agreed to compensate those affected.
Payments, potentially up to $147 per individual, depend on the number of successful claims submitted. There are strict deadlines to keep in mind for anyone wishing to claim their portion of the settlement, and failure to meet these deadlines could result in losing the opportunity for compensation.
Key Dates You Shouldn’t Forget
The most critical date to keep in mind is October 27, which is the absolute deadline for filing your claim to be part of the Spam Text Settlement. If you’ve received unsolicited Cash App texts during the eligible period (from November 2019 to August 2025), you must submit your claim by this date to receive compensation. Missing this deadline means you’ll forfeit your chance to collect your share of the settlement.
On the same day, October 27, is also the cutoff for anyone wishing to file objections to the settlement. If you feel the terms of the settlement are unfair, this is your last opportunity to raise any concerns.
How to Claim Your $147 from the Spam Text Settlement
To be eligible for compensation, claimants must provide some basic information, such as their phone number and proof that they were residents of Washington state during the time the texts were sent. Importantly, claimants will need to show they did not consent to receiving the spam messages. If you still have the text message, that will serve as strong evidence for your claim.
Filing your claim is relatively straightforward, and you have two options: submit it electronically via the settlement website or mail it in. If you choose to file electronically, it will be faster, but you can still opt for the postal route if that’s your preference. Keep in mind that the final payout you receive will depend on how many people file claims.
Claim your share of a $12.5 million settlement if you received unsolicited Cash App spam texts. Act before the deadline! According to The U.S. Sun, the more people who submit claims, the smaller the individual payments could be, so don’t wait until the last minute!
When submitting your claim, you’ll also have the option to select how you would like to receive your payment. Compensation can be delivered via Venmo, PayPal, or as a check in the mail. However, while you might submit your claim by October 27, don’t expect your payment to arrive right away.
There’s still a final court approval hearing scheduled for December 2, and the settlement will only be finalized if the court deems the terms fair.
