How to file a claim to get $2,500 from a Cash App settlement

Cash App customers may be able to claim more than $2,500 each as part of a $15 million class-action settlement for data and security breaches at the mobile payment service.

People whose accounts were accessed without their authorization or who had fraudulent withdrawals or transfers can file claims, provided they had or currently have an account between August 23, 2018, and August 20, 2024, according to the settlement website .

The settlement stems from lawsuits filed by customers who claimed Cash App was negligent when a former employee accessed account data without permission in 2022, as well as when an unauthorized user accessed accounts in 2023.

Plaintiffs also alleged that Cash App and Block, the app's parent company, failed to install controls to block unauthorized users and that the company then mishandled customer complaints about the security breaches and fraudulent transactions.

Cash App and Block deny any liability or wrongdoing of any kind, according to the settlement site.
