If you need to update your address or contact information for a DoorDash settlement, the fastest route depends on which settlement you are part of. For the New York and Illinois Attorney General settlements, as well as the Chicago settlement, contact Atticus Administration directly — by phone at 1-800-270-1039 (New York) or 1-888-844-7380 (Illinois), or by email at info@NYDoorDashSettlement.com or ILDoorDashSettlement@AtticusAdmin.com respectively. For the Salmons v. DoorDash FLSA settlement, email doordash@massarbsettlement.com, and for the Massachusetts Arbitration settlement, there is a dedicated online update page at the Mass Arb settlement website.
The reason this matters is straightforward: if your settlement check gets mailed to an old address, you may have a very limited window to correct the problem before the funds are voided or returned. With multiple DoorDash settlements now in various stages of payment — totaling over $46 million across New York, Illinois, and Chicago alone — thousands of delivery workers and consumers need to make sure their information is current. Beyond just address changes, we will walk through the differences between each settlement’s payment methods, the deadlines that still matter in 2026, and practical steps to confirm your update was actually processed. Whether you drove for DoorDash in New York, Chicago, Illinois, or elsewhere in the country, knowing where your settlement stands and how to reach the right administrator can make the difference between getting paid and losing your claim.

Which DoorDash Settlement Are You Part Of And How Do You Update Your Contact Info?
There are at least five distinct doordash settlements that have been active in recent years, and each one has its own administrator, its own deadlines, and its own process for updating your address. The New York AG settlement, secured by Attorney General Letitia James for $16.75 million, covers delivery workers whose tips were misappropriated between May 2017 and September 2019. The Illinois AG settlement, worth $11.25 million under Attorney General Kwame Raoul, covers a similar tip misrepresentation issue for Illinois deliveries during roughly the same period. The City of Chicago reached a separate $18 million settlement over broader deceptive practices affecting restaurants, consumers, and drivers. Then there is the Salmons v. DoorDash FLSA settlement for approximately $663,520, which dealt with worker misclassification claims for deliveries between August 2016 and August 2023. Finally, the Massachusetts Arbitration settlement has its own dedicated portal for contact updates.
The critical thing to understand is that updating your info with one settlement does not update it across the others, even when the same administrator is involved. Atticus Administration handles the New York, Illinois, and Chicago settlements, but each case maintains separate records. If you delivered in multiple states or cities, you may need to contact Atticus separately for each settlement. For example, a Dasher who worked in both New York City and Chicago would need to reach out to Atticus using the New York-specific phone number or email for that settlement, and then separately address the Chicago settlement as well. For the FLSA and Massachusetts settlements, the administrators are entirely different entities. The Salmons v. DoorDash settlement uses the email doordash@massarbsettlement.com, while the Massachusetts Arbitration settlement provides an online form at its dedicated update page. If you are unsure which settlement applies to you, check the original notice you received — it will identify the case name and the administrator’s contact details.
Deadlines That Still Matter For DoorDash Settlement Address Updates
Timing is everything when it comes to settlement payments. The New York AG DoorDash settlement had a claim deadline of February 13, 2026, and payments are being disbursed on a bi-monthly basis. If you filed a valid claim but your address has changed since then, you still have time to update your information — but the longer you wait, the greater the risk that a payment goes to the wrong place. Contact Atticus Administration at 1-800-270-1039 or email info@NYDoorDashSettlement.com as soon as possible. The Illinois settlement’s claim deadline passed on February 10, 2025, and payments were anticipated to begin around March 2025, within 90 days of the November 14, 2024 effective date. If you filed a claim for the Illinois settlement and have not received payment, an outdated address could be the reason.
However, if you never filed a claim at all, updating your address now will not make you eligible — the window for new claims has closed. This is an important distinction that catches people off guard: an address update only helps if you already have an active, approved claim. For the Chicago settlement, different components have different timelines. Consumer credits of $4 million were automatically applied to eligible active DoorDash accounts starting January 28, 2026, so no address update is needed for that portion. But the restaurant claims fund of $3.25 million requires restaurants to submit an attestation form by March 30, 2026, with payments expected by the end of June 2026. If you are a restaurant owner in this category, making sure your business address is current with the settlement administrator before that June payment date is essential.
Payment Methods And Why They Affect Your Address Update Urgency
Not every DoorDash settlement payment requires a physical mailing address, and understanding the available payment methods can save you unnecessary worry. The New York AG settlement offers five payment options: check, Venmo, Zelle, eMastercard, or ACH direct deposit. If you selected Venmo, Zelle, or ACH when you filed your claim, an address change may be less urgent since those payments are delivered electronically. But if you chose a physical check or eMastercard, an outdated mailing address means your payment could end up at the wrong door. Consider a Dasher who moved apartments in Brooklyn between filing their New York claim and the payment date.
If they selected check as their payment method, that check will be mailed to whatever address was on file. A returned check creates delays, and depending on the settlement’s distribution timeline, there may be a finite period to claim reissued payments before remaining funds are redistributed or returned to the defendant. This is not a hypothetical — it happens in nearly every large class action settlement. The Illinois and Chicago settlements also use Atticus Administration for payment distribution. For the Chicago driver payments of $500,000, eligible drivers are notified and paid by Atticus, so keeping your contact info current ensures you receive both the notification and the payment. If you are unsure which payment method you selected, contact the relevant administrator and ask — they can typically look up your claim and confirm.
Step-By-Step Process For Updating Your Information With Atticus Administration
For the New York settlement, you have three options. First, call 1-800-270-1039 during business hours. Have your claim number or the email address you used when filing ready — the representative will verify your identity before making changes. Second, email info@NYDoorDashSettlement.com with your full name, old address, new address, and claim number if you have it. Third, send a written request by mail to NY OAG v. DoorDash Settlement, c/o Atticus Administration, P.O. Box 64053, St. Paul, MN 55164.
Email is generally the fastest method, but phone gives you immediate confirmation that the change was processed. For the Illinois settlement, the process is similar but uses different contact channels: email ILDoorDashSettlement@AtticusAdmin.com or call 1-888-844-7380. The mailing address is IL AG DoorDash Settlement, c/o Atticus Administration, PO Box 64053, St. Paul, MN 55164. Note that while the P.O. Box number is the same as New York’s, the settlement name in the address line is different — make sure you use the correct one so your correspondence is routed to the right file. One practical tradeoff to consider: email creates a written record you can reference later if there is a dispute about whether your update was received, while a phone call gives you real-time confirmation but no automatic paper trail. A reasonable approach is to call first for immediate confirmation, then follow up with an email summarizing the change so you have documentation. Keep a copy of any correspondence, including screenshots of emails sent and received, along with the date and time of any phone calls and the name of the representative you spoke with.
What Happens If Your Payment Was Already Sent To The Wrong Address
If a settlement check was mailed to your old address and returned to the administrator as undeliverable, the administrator will typically hold the funds for a set period before taking further action. Contact the administrator immediately — do not wait for them to reach out to you. For the New York settlement, call 1-800-270-1039 and explain the situation. They can usually reissue the check to your updated address, though this may take several weeks depending on the reissuance schedule. The bigger concern is if the check was delivered to your old address and someone else cashed it, or if it was not returned at all. In that scenario, the process becomes more complicated.
You will likely need to provide proof of your new address and possibly file a declaration that you did not receive the payment. Settlement administrators deal with this regularly, but it adds significant delays. For electronic payment methods like Venmo or Zelle, the risk is lower — if the payment fails because your account information changed, the funds typically bounce back to the administrator automatically. One limitation worth flagging: settlement administrators are not obligated to chase you down indefinitely. Most settlements have a final distribution deadline, after which unclaimed or undeliverable funds are handled according to the court order — sometimes redistributed to other claimants, sometimes donated to a cy pres recipient, and sometimes returned to the defendant. If months have passed since payments were expected and you have heard nothing, do not assume everything is fine. Be proactive.
Updating Info For The FLSA And Massachusetts Settlements
The Salmons v. DoorDash FLSA settlement, which was court-approved on May 13, 2024, has a separate administrator from the Attorney General settlements. While the notice period for that case is now closed, claimants who need to update their address or payment information should email doordash@massarbsettlement.com.
For example, if you were a Dasher who made deliveries between August 23, 2016 and August 31, 2023 and received a notice about this settlement, your payment details are managed through this channel — not through Atticus. The Massachusetts Arbitration settlement is notable for having a dedicated online update page, which is the most convenient option available across any of the DoorDash settlements. Rather than calling or emailing, claimants can visit the update portal and submit their new contact or payment information directly through a web form. This is particularly useful if you have moved multiple times or if you need to change both your address and your payment method simultaneously.
Keeping Track Of Multiple DoorDash Settlements Going Forward
With at least five separate DoorDash settlements in various stages of completion, the administrative burden on affected Dashers, consumers, and restaurants is real. The Chicago settlement’s restaurant claims fund still has its March 30, 2026 attestation deadline ahead, and restaurant payments are not expected until the end of June 2026. The New York settlement continues to disburse payments on a bi-monthly basis. New enforcement actions or private lawsuits against DoorDash could produce additional settlements in the future, particularly as gig worker classification laws continue to evolve at the state level.
The best thing you can do is maintain a simple record for each settlement you are part of: the case name, the administrator’s contact info, your claim number, the payment method you selected, and the address on file. When you move, update each one individually. It takes a few minutes per settlement, and it is far less painful than trying to track down a lost check months after the fact. If you are part of any future DoorDash settlements, select an electronic payment method when given the option — it eliminates the most common reason people miss their payouts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which DoorDash settlement I am part of?
Check the original notice you received, which will identify the case name and administrator. The New York settlement covers Dashers whose tips were misappropriated between May 2017 and September 2019 in New York. The Illinois settlement covers a similar period for Illinois deliveries. The Chicago settlement covers restaurants, consumers, and drivers affected by deceptive practices. The FLSA settlement covers misclassification claims for deliveries between August 2016 and August 2023.
Can I update my address online for any of the DoorDash settlements?
Only the Massachusetts Arbitration settlement currently offers a dedicated online update page. For the New York, Illinois, and Chicago settlements handled by Atticus Administration, you need to call or email. The FLSA settlement also requires email contact.
Will updating my address with one settlement automatically update it for the others?
No. Even though Atticus Administration handles the New York, Illinois, and Chicago settlements, each case maintains separate records. You must contact the administrator separately for each settlement you are part of.
What if I already missed the claim deadline — can I still update my address?
If you filed a valid claim before the deadline, yes — updating your address ensures your payment reaches you. However, if you never filed a claim, an address update will not make you eligible for a settlement you did not join. The Illinois claim deadline closed on February 10, 2025, and the Salmons v. DoorDash notice period has also closed.
How long does it take for an address update to be processed?
Most administrators process updates within a few business days, but it depends on volume and timing. If a payment cycle is imminent, call rather than email to ensure the change is reflected before the next disbursement. Always ask for confirmation that the update has been applied.
I selected an electronic payment method. Do I still need to update my mailing address?
It is still a good idea. While your payment may arrive electronically via Venmo, Zelle, or ACH, the administrator may also send tax documents or other legal notices by mail. Keeping your mailing address current ensures you do not miss important correspondence about the settlement.
