Ampac Holdings $318,825 Illinois BIPA Class Action Settlement
If you worked at Ampac Holdings in Illinois and used a fingerprint timeclock during the class period, you were part of a BIPA settlement that estimated approximately $572.36 per qualifying claimant. The claim deadline was June 15, 2026, so the filing window has now closed.
approximately $572.36 each
Class counsel estimated approximately $572.36 per person who submitted a valid claim form. That figure came from splitting what remained in the settlement fund equally after deducting up to 35% for attorney fees, an $8,500 service award to the lead plaintiff Michael Vega, and administrator costs estimated to be under $12,000.

The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, ILYM Group. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.
What law is this settlement based on?
It's based on Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which requires companies to get written consent before collecting fingerprints or other biometric data from employees. The lawsuit alleges Ampac didn't do that.
The deadline was June 15, 2026. Can I still file?
The deadline has passed. Unless the court grants an extension, new claims won't be accepted. Check the settlement website at ampacbipasettlement.com or call ILYM Group at (888) 250-6810 to see if anything has changed.
What happens if I did nothing?

What if I wanted to keep my right to sue separately?
You would have needed to submit a written exclusion request by June 15, 2026. Opting out meant no settlement payment, but it preserved your right to pursue your own claims.
When will the money actually be paid out?
The court's final approval hearing is set for August 25, 2026. Payments typically go out after final approval is granted and any appeal period expires.
