Watch out for
- The opt-out and dispute deadlines were March 27, 2023 — if you did nothing by then, you are bound by the settlement and cannot sue separately over these wage claims.
- Make sure any contact you receive about this settlement points to the official site (cptgroupcaseinfo.com/helixelectricsettlement) or CPT Group's verified number — scammers sometimes mimic wage settlement notices.
- If you moved after the notice was mailed, your check may have gone to the wrong address; call the administrator to update your information.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
