JBS USA Food $200.2M Beef and Pork Worker Wage Settlement

1. Check whether you received a settlement notice by mail or email — if yes, no claim form is required but you should log in and verify your employment and earnings data.
2. If you did not receive a notice, visit beefporkwages.com/participate and complete the participation form before the claim deadline.
3. Gather your employment records: the name of the defendant company you worked for, your workplace location, your dates of employment, your hourly or annual pay rate, your average weekly hours, and your job title.
4. Prepare a copy of an official photo ID (such as a driver's license or employee ID from one of the defendant companies) OR at least one paycheck or paystub from your time at the plant.
5. Attach the required documentation when submitting your online form, or request a paper form by calling the settlement administrator and mail the completed form to the address provided.
6. You may also check whether your name or workplace is included in the settlement by visiting the eligibility checker on the settlement website.

What the form asks

• — Your pay rate per hour, or your annual salary if you were salaried (Pay stubs or W-2 forms)

Documents you'll need

Watch out for

• Workers who received a notice are still encouraged to update their contact, employment, and earnings information online to ensure the correct payment amount — failure to do so may result in a reduced or misdirected payment.
• There are two subclasses with different eligibility windows and fund pools; workers employed only before the subclass period are eligible only for the main class fund.
• The settlement fund is distributed pro rata among all eligible class members, so individual payment amounts are not fixed and will decrease as more valid claims are filed.
• Paper forms must be mailed to the settlement administrator; submitting to any other address may cause your claim to be missed.
• Opting out of the settlement means you give up the right to receive a payment and retain the right to sue separately.
