How to file this claim
- Check that you worked for Pacific Bell Telephone Company in California as a non-exempt employee at any point from January 1, 2021 to October 23, 2025.
- Do nothing if you want to receive your share — payment is automatic based on the number of workweeks you worked during that period.

- If you disagree with the settlement terms, submit a written objection to the Court before March 7, 2026 — you can also appear at the Final Approval Hearing.

- The opt-out and objection deadline is March 7, 2026 — miss it and you're bound by the settlement.
- If you opt out of the class portion, you still can't escape the PAGA portion of the settlement.

- No specific payment amount is listed on the settlement website — check the Long Form Notice at pacbellsettlement.com for details.

Do I need proof to claim?

Where is the official Wilson v Pacific Bell Telephone Company claim form?
No claim form is needed — Class members automatically receive payment based on workweeks worked; no action is required to receive a settlement payment. Never pay a fee to claim a settlement payment.
Do I need to file a claim to get paid?
No. Pacific Bell's records determine who's in the class. If you qualify, you'll receive a payment automatically without submitting anything.
How much will I get?
The settlement notice hasn't published a per-person dollar figure yet. Your share is proportional to the number of workweeks you worked for Pacific Bell between January 1, 2021 and October 23, 2025.
What was the lawsuit actually about?
Plaintiff Patrick Wilson alleged that Pacific Bell's attendance policies counted legally protected Kin Care and paid sick-day absences as unexcused, exposing workers to discipline. That's alleged to violate California Labor Code sections 233, 234, and 246.5.
What happens if I don't want to be part of this settlement?
You can opt out with a written request postmarked by March 7, 2026. Opting out means no payment from the class portion, but you keep the right to sue Pacific Bell on your own over these same issues.
Does this affect my ability to sue Pacific Bell later?
Yes. Staying in the class means you release claims against Pacific Bell for the violations covered by this settlement for the period January 1, 2021 through October 23, 2025. If that concerns you, opting out by March 7, 2026 preserves your individual rights.
