Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- Payment is mailed — if the administrator has an old address, your check goes nowhere. Update it now, not later.
- Checks expire 180 days after issuance; missed checks won't be automatically reissued.
- The settlement is not final yet. No money moves until the court approves it and the appeals window closes — so don't budget on it.
- The opt-out and objection deadline is June 15, 2026. Missing it means you're bound by the release and can't sue Hermanson separately over wage-disclosure claims.
- The settlement website (epoasettlementhcllp.com) is the only official source — be skeptical of any email or text asking you to "file" somewhere else or provide payment 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.
