The Stiiizy Settlement Payout Date, in Short
This page covers only the money. For the case itself and who is in the class, see our Stiiizy data breach settlement page.
Is the Stiiizy settlement paying yet? No. As of October 12, 2026 the official settlement website still lists the Final Approval Hearing as upcoming: October 19, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. PT. The official FAQ is direct about it: “Payments will only be made if the Court approves the settlement.”
So what is the Stiiizy data breach settlement payout date? There is none yet, and the settlement agreement does not set a calendar date. It sets a rule: checks are mailed and electronic payments issued “within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, or within thirty (30) days of the date that the validity review is complete on all claims, whichever is later.” Any specific date you see quoted elsewhere today is a guess.
Case Details
The case is In Re: STIIIZY Inc. Data Breach Security Litigation, No. 2:25-cv-00490, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, before Judge George H. Wu. He granted preliminary approval on May 28, 2026. The claims administrator is Eisner Advisory Group (EisnerAmper).
What has to happen before anyone is paid, per the settlement agreement:
1. The court approves the settlement at or after the October 19, 2026 hearing.
2. The court enters a Judgment.
3. The time to appeal expires — or, if someone appeals, the appeal is resolved. Only then is the “Effective Date” reached.
4. The administrator finishes reviewing all claims.
5. Within 30 days of the later of the Effective Date or the end of claim review, payments go out.
One thing works in claimants' favor: the final-approval motion reports zero objections and only two opt-outs. Appeals of settlements usually come from objectors, so the absence of objectors lowers the risk of a long delay — though it does not guarantee a quick Effective Date.
Status: Claims Closed, Waiting on Final Approval
On September 17, 2026 the plaintiffs filed their motion for final approval. The administrator's declaration counts 22,101 valid claims, a claims rate of 6.91% of people reached by direct notice. Stiiizy's $2,950,000 fund was scheduled to be paid in three parts, the last $1,100,000 by September 30, 2026.
The next dated step is the October 19, 2026 hearing. The court may rule from the bench, later in writing, or move the hearing — the official site warns the date “may change without further notice.” Check the official settlement website after that date.
Who Gets Paid — and Who Does Not
Nobody is paid automatically. The official site says: “You must submit a claim to receive payment.” If you did not file by September 10, 2026, you will not receive money, and you are still bound by the settlement's release.
If you filed a claim, you will be paid in the form you chose on the claim form: a paper check or an electronic payment. Electronic payment was only available to people who filed online. The settlement documents we reviewed do not name the specific electronic options, so go by what your own claim confirmation says.
If you claimed documented losses and your paperwork was incomplete, the administrator says it will send an Award Letter explaining its decision with a chance to fix the problem. If your documented-loss claim is denied, or worth less than the cash payment, you get the pro rata cash payment instead.
If you chose credit monitoring, that is paid for first, out of the fund, before any cash goes out. It comes as an enrollment, not a check.
Stiiizy Settlement Payout Per Person
Estimated: the administrator's declaration, using figures as of September 16, 2026, puts the pro rata cash payment at about $47.39 for non-California claimants and $94.78 for California claimants. California residents receive two shares under the agreement, which is why their figure is exactly double. Of the 22,101 valid claims, 21,640 asked for this cash payment: 15,527 California claims and 6,113 others.
Those figures are estimates, not promises. They assume the court awards attorneys' fees, costs and service awards as requested. Class counsel asked for up to $737,500 in fees plus expenses estimated at $30,000, and $15,000 in service awards. If the judge awards less, more stays in the fund and the per-person payout rises; claims rejected in review push it up too.
Documented losses: reimbursement is capped at $7,500 per person, but only 3 documented-loss claims were filed, totaling $845.62. For almost everyone, the Stiiizy settlement payout will be the pro rata figure.

Three Things to Watch For
The 22,101 valid claimants are waiting for a small payment with no date attached. That is the gap scammers use:
“Pay a fee to release your Stiiizy payment”
Settlement payments come out of the fund. Nothing is owed up front. A message asking for a processing fee, gift cards or a “tax” before you can receive your Stiiizy money is fraud.
Emails from look-alike domains
The official notice emails came from notice@pnclassaction.com with replies to info@stiiizydatabreachsettlement.com, and they carried your Class Member ID. The real claim portal lives on stiiizydatabreachsettlement.pnclassaction.com. Anything else that claims to be the administrator needs checking. Call 1-855-907-2590 before you click.
“Late claims still accepted” offers
The claim deadline was September 10, 2026. A site or text offering to file a Stiiizy claim for you now, especially one asking for your Social Security number or bank login, is collecting data, not filing anything.
Stiiizy Settlement Payout — Questions People Actually Ask
When is the Stiiizy settlement payout date?
As of October 12, 2026, there is none. The court holds its final approval hearing on October 19, 2026. Under the settlement agreement, payments go out within 30 days of the Effective Date (approval, judgment, appeal time over) or of the end of claim review, whichever is later.
How much will people get paid out by the Stiiizy data breach claim?
The administrator estimates about $47.39 for non-California claimants and $94.78 for California claimants, based on figures as of September 16, 2026. That assumes the court grants the requested fees. The final amount may change. Documented-loss claims can be reimbursed up to $7,500.
Will I get paid if I did not file a claim?
No. The official site says you must submit a claim to receive payment, and the deadline was September 10, 2026. People who did nothing get no money but are still bound by the settlement.
Can I track my settlement check?
Contact the Stiiizy Data Breach Claims Administrator at 1-855-907-2590 or info@StiiizyDataBreachSettlement.com, and have the Class Member ID or claim number from your notice or confirmation ready. Updates are posted on the official site. Do not call the court; the official site asks people not to.
How will the Stiiizy settlement be paid — check or electronic?
Whichever you chose on your claim form: a paper check, or an electronic payment if you filed online. If you get a check, cash it. Checks are void 90 days after issuance.
What if my Stiiizy check expires or gets lost?
Checks are void 90 days after they are issued. Under the settlement agreement, you can ask for a reissue until six months after the Effective Date. After that, your right to the money ends. Contact the administrator at 1-855-907-2590.
How long after a class action settlement do you get paid?
It depends on the agreement. In this one, the clock only starts at the Effective Date, which requires final approval, an entered judgment and the end of the appeal period. Payments are then due within 30 days, or within 30 days of the end of claim review if that comes later.
Will there be a second Stiiizy payment?
Not scheduled. If money is left over, for example from uncashed checks, the agreement says the parties will confer on extra payments to class members, if practicable, or a court-approved cy pres recipient. The official FAQ says leftover money will be donated to a court-approved recipient. No second round has been announced.
Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
