The court-approved website for the Citizens Disability class action settlement can be found at CitizensDisabilityTCPALitigation.com.

The deal covers a class of approximately 3,412 United States residents who answered one or more prerecorded calls from Citizens Disability made from the Pipes.ai calling platform between November 8, 2019 and October 25, 2023, where at the time of the call, the organization’s only lead source for the call recipient was GrantsAssistanceForYou.com.

According to the official Citizens Disability settlement website, class members who submit a timely, valid claim form online or by mail by May 22, 2025 will be eligible to receive a pro-rated cash payout from the deal.

You can file a claim form online on this page. You will need to provide either the phone number at which you received Citizens’ call(s) or your unique ID, which can be found on the personalized settlement notice you should have received by mail or email informing you about the deal.

Alternatively, you may download a PDF claim form or contact the settlement administrator to request a paper copy to return by mail.

Eligible class members are entitled to receive equal shares of what remains of the $320,000 settlement fund after payment of attorneys’ fees, service awards and administration costs, the settlement agreement says. Individual payout amounts will depend on the total number of valid claims that are ultimately filed, the website relays.

The terms of the Citizens Disability settlement were preliminarily approved by the court on January 31, 2025. A hearing is scheduled for June 3, 2025, at which United States District Judge K. Michael Moore will decide whether to grant final approval to the terms of the deal. Cash payments will be issued to eligible class members only if the settlement receives ultimate court approval, the site notes.

The Citizens Disability class action lawsuit, filed in October 2023, claimed the Social Security disability advocacy group violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by placing prerecorded calls without first obtaining recipients’ express written consent. The class action suit argued that the unlawful calls were a “nuisance” and invaded consumers’ privacy.
