Grubhub Class Action Settlement Status and Claims
The Grubhub class action settlement deadlines covered here have passed. California diners had until August 7, 2026 to claim a $10 site credit in Wang v. Grubhub. A separate $24.75 million case covers certain California drivers. Check the case name first because diner, driver, and restaurant claims use different websites and rules.
Which Grubhub settlement applies to you?
Three class action settlements and a separate FTC refund program appear in current Grubhub search results. The fastest way to avoid the wrong form is to match your role and case name before checking a deadline or payment. A diner notice, driver notice, and restaurant notice do not lead to the same settlement.

What did the Grubhub diner settlement offer?
Wang v. Grubhub offered a $10 Grubhub site credit to eligible people who submitted a valid claim. The official settlement website says the class covered food orders placed through Grubhub or Seamless from January 24, 2019 through January 12, 2026 for delivery to a California address.
The original May 12 deadline reported by settlement news sites was extended. The official administrator later posted August 7, 2026 as the final claim deadline. That date has passed. A page that still tells you to submit the old form is stale, even if the original case details are otherwise accurate.
The benefit was a site credit, not a cash check. That detail matters because people searching for a “Grubhub settlement payout” may expect Venmo, PayPal, or a mailed payment. The official notice controls the benefit. An app notification or social post does not change it.
What did real people question about the Grubhub notice?
People mainly questioned whether the notice was real and whether the small credit justified entering personal information. In an r/grubhub thread about the notice, the title asks the blunt question people had: “Is this a real GrubHub Settlement Notice?” A commenter said it “reeks of a scam” because the request involved personal information.
That suspicion is reasonable. A real class action form may ask for contact details, order information, and a notice ID. A scam can copy the same language. The useful test is the source. Type the official domain yourself, confirm the case name, and compare the class dates against the notice before submitting anything.
An X post dated February 13, 2026 also described the Wang case and its $10 site-credit benefit. The exact post URL is verifiable, but the official settlement website remains the source for any deadline or eligibility decision.
How is the Grubhub driver settlement different?
Lawson v. Grubhub Holdings Inc. is a separate California labor case for certain current and former delivery drivers. The official driver settlement website says Grubhub agreed to a $24.75 million fund and identifies drivers who used the Grubhub mobile application between December 3, 2014 and March 13, 2026.
The $24.75 million figure is the proposed settlement fund, not one person’s check. Individual payments depend on the allocation rules and court process. The official site said covered drivers would be eligible for payment if the court approved the settlement. It also listed June 18, 2026 as the exclusion deadline.
A post in r/classactions told California Grubhub drivers to check their email. That reflects a recurring problem with this topic. Search snippets mix the driver case with the $10 diner credit, even though the covered conduct, class, benefit, and administrator pages differ.
Was there another Grubhub settlement for restaurants?
Yes. Lynn Scott v. Grubhub addressed certain restaurant listings and used a different settlement website. The official restaurant-listing settlement website states that its claim deadline was March 4, 2026 and that claims are no longer accepted.
The site also says claims are being processed and that the distribution date is unknown. That is the correct status to use until the administrator posts a date. A prediction from a forum, search snippet, or customer-service representative does not become an official payout date.
Restaurant owners should not use the diner-credit or driver page to check this case. The official notice names the covered restaurant group and available benefits. Save any claim confirmation and use the contact details on that website for status questions.
Why did the FTC send Grubhub refunds?
The FTC refund program is not one of the class action settlements above. In August 2026, the Federal Trade Commission announced more than $23.8 million in payments to drivers and diners affected by conduct alleged in a government case against Grubhub.
The FTC said the payments followed allegations involving deceptive driver earnings claims, blocked diner accounts and funds, and restaurants listed without consent. Search results can label these payments a Grubhub settlement, but the program has its own eligibility records and refund process.
A Reddit post from a driver who received a check described a $51.41 payment, but one person’s amount does not set anyone else’s refund. Use the FTC Grubhub refunds page for official payment information and contact instructions.
How can you verify a Grubhub settlement message?
You can verify a Grubhub settlement message by matching five details against the official case website. The check takes a few minutes and catches the biggest problems: a copied case name, the wrong class, an expired deadline, a changed domain, or a promise that exceeds the court-approved benefit.
1. Match the case name
Look for Wang, Lawson, or Lynn Scott at the top of the notice. The names tell you which group and website apply.
2. Match your role
Confirm whether the notice addresses a diner, delivery driver, or restaurant. Do not infer eligibility from the Grubhub name alone.
3. Type the official domain
Open the verified case website directly. Avoid shortened links and sponsored search ads when submitting personal information.
4. Check the posted deadline
Read the current administrator page because a deadline can be extended. A third-party article may preserve the original date.
5. Check the exact benefit
Confirm whether the case offers site credit, cash, or another benefit. Ignore any message that guarantees more than the notice states.
How do you check a Grubhub claim after filing?
The administrator for your exact Grubhub case is the only reliable source for claim status. Gather your confirmation number, notice ID, filing email, and submission date before contacting it. Grubhub customer support may know about the business, but the court-appointed administrator reviews settlement claims and distributes approved benefits.
No posted distribution date means no verified distribution date. The restaurant-listing administrator currently says its distribution date is unknown. The driver case follows its own approval and allocation process. The diner-credit site should be checked for current administration notices after the deadline.
Payout is a settlement-discovery app, not a law firm, and it does not give legal advice. Filing directly with an official administrator is free. Payout does not guarantee eligibility, approval, payment timing, or an amount. Our settlement claim status guide explains what to save and who to contact.
