How hard is this claim to file?

You don't have to do anything — payment goes out automatically to every security guard who worked for Unified Protective Services in California between August 23, 2008 and October 31, 2023. Just cash the check within 180 days of receiving it.

Watch out for

  • Cash the check before the 180-day window closes — after that, the funds are deposited with the California Unclaimed Property Fund and you'll have to claim them there instead.
  • If you opted out in writing by September 9, 2024, you're excluded from the settlement and won't receive a payment.
  • PAGA payments are separate from class payments — you may receive two amounts if you worked during both the Class Period and the PAGA Period (July 17, 2011 through October 31, 2023).
  • Your individual payment is proportional to how many workweeks you logged — the more weeks you worked, the larger your share.

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.
