Ablay v. Morningstar Senior Management, LLC
If you worked as a non-exempt employee at Morningstar Senior Management or Morningstar Senior Living in California between September 18, 2020 and July 14, 2025, you're likely getting a check automatically — no claim form needed. Just do nothing and wait for the mail if the court grants final approval.
Payment amount set by the settlement administrator
The gross settlement is $450,000. After attorney fees and costs, the net fund available to class members is approximately $214,950, with a separate $5,000 set aside for PAGA claims. Your share will be calculated based on the settlement formula applied to class members' work history — the administrator handles that math, not you.
