Who qualifies for a payment?
Affected users are U.S. persons who used the Simplilearn platform between Feb. 26, 2023 and Sept. 16, 2026. The group is described as account holders who watched at least one pre-recorded video, according to OpenClassActions OpenClassActions settlement report.
You must have an account during that window. Streaming only live classes without watching a pre-recorded video does not fit the description. Use outside the date range also does not count. If you received a mailed or emailed notice, keep it. It contains the Claim ID and PIN needed for the online form.
How much will approved claims receive?
Approved claimants will split the $3 million fund in equal shares after court-approved fees and costs are deducted. That method is called a pro rata distribution. No per-person amount has been published.
The final payment depends on how many valid claims are filed and what the court awards for fees and expenses. That means filing early does not increase the amount. Filing a timely, valid claim preserves an equal share.
How do you file before December 15?
Claims are filed free through the court-authorized site SimplilearnPrivacySettlement.com, run by administrator Verita Global. You will enter the Claim ID and PIN from your notice, plus contact details and a payment choice, according to OpenClassActions OpenClassActions settlement report. A paper form is also accepted.
