How to file this claim

If you logged into Naviance as a student between August 18, 2021 and January 23, 2026, you can get a payment from a $17,250,000 settlement fund. File a claim by July 27, 2026. Skip it and you get nothing. This claim form asks for 1 field.

  1. Think back to whether you logged into the Naviance platform as a student at any point between August 18, 2021 and January 23, 2026. That's the key question.
  2. Go to powerschoolnaviancesettlement.com and open the claim form.
  3. Fill out and submit the form before July 27, 2026.
  4. Watch for a payment notice after the Final Approval Hearing on August 19, 2026.

What the form asks

  • Confirmation of Naviance login during class period — Check the box or answer yes to confirm you logged into Naviance at least once between August 18, 2021 and January 23, 2026 while you were a student. (Your own memory is the starting point. If you're not sure, old school emails or your former school's records office may help confirm your Naviance account history.)

Watch out for

  • The opt-out deadline is July 13, 2026, two weeks before the claim deadline. If you want to keep your right to sue the defendants separately, you have to act by July 13, not July 27.
  • Each approved claimant gets a share of the fund. The more people who file, the smaller each individual share.
  • Parents and legal guardians can file on behalf of a minor child who used Naviance.

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.
