Government & Consumer Refunds settlements

Government consumer refunds are run by agencies such as the FTC, the CFPB, or a state attorney general, not by a private class-action administrator. Many are automatic — the agency mails or deposits payments to people it already identified, with no claim to file. Others ask for a short claim on an official government page. A genuine government refund program never charges a fee to claim and never asks for a bank login or payment to 'release' your money — those are signs of a scam. SettleSignal traces each program to its official government source and re-checks it on a schedule; the agency, not SettleSignal, determines eligibility and payment.
