Documents you'll need
- Pay stubs or W-2 from Alatrade Foods
Watch out for
- Your payment counts as wage income. Federal and state income tax, Social Security, and Medicare will all be withheld before you see a dime.
- You'll get a W-2 for this, not a 1099. Report it as wages on your tax return.
- The $500,000 fund also has to cover attorneys' fees, a Service Award, and administrator costs. What's left gets split among valid claimants.
- Opting out means you keep the right to sue Alatrade on your own, but you get nothing from this settlement.
- The claim, opt-out, and objection deadlines are all September 16, 2026. Don't miss it.
