If you received repeated telemarketing calls from SiriusXM between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025, you may qualify for payment from a $28 million class action settlement. To be eligible, you must have received multiple calls within a 12-month period and either been registered on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days before the calls, or you must have specifically asked SiriusXM to stop calling but continued receiving calls anyway. For example, if you cancelled your SiriusXM subscription in 2021, added your number to the Do Not Call Registry, and still received promotional calls months later, you likely qualify. The settlement resolves claims that SiriusXM violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by making unsolicited telemarketing calls to consumers who had taken steps to avoid such contact.

The company has agreed to pay $28 million to resolve these allegations, though it has not admitted wrongdoing. Individual payment amounts have not been disclosed and will depend on how many valid claims are submitted before the March 21, 2026 deadline. We also address what happens if you want to exclude yourself from the settlement or object to its terms.

What Are the Exact Eligibility Requirements for the SiriusXM Telemarketing Settlement?
The settlement establishes two distinct groups of eligible claimants, both requiring that you received multiple telemarketing calls from SiriusXM within any 12-month window during the class period. The first group includes people who were not SiriusXM subscribers at the time of the calls and had registered their phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry at least 31 days before receiving the calls. The second group includes anyone who specifically requested that SiriusXM add their number to the company’s internal do-not-call list but continued receiving calls regardless. The settlement covers calls made to landlines, wireless phones, cellular phones, and mobile numbers. This broad coverage matters because TCPA violations can occur regardless of the type of phone you use.
Consider someone who kept their landline specifically to avoid unwanted calls to their cell phone, only to have SiriusXM call both numbers repeatedly. Both phone lines could potentially qualify for compensation. One important distinction: simply receiving a single call does not qualify you. The settlement specifically addresses patterns of repeated calling, which is why the “multiple calls within 12 months” requirement exists. If you received one call and never heard from SiriusXM again, this settlement does not apply to your situation.
How Much Money Will Claimants Receive From the $28 Million Fund?
Individual payment amounts remain undisclosed at this stage because the final distribution depends entirely on how many valid claims are filed by the deadline. Up to one-third of the settlement fund, approximately $9.3 million, may be allocated to attorneys’ fees and litigation costs. The remaining funds, potentially around $18.7 million or more, will be divided among all eligible claimants who submit valid claims. This structure creates an inverse relationship between participation and individual payouts.
If relatively few people file claims, each claimant receives more. If hundreds of thousands of people submit valid claims, individual payments shrink proportionally. In similar TCPA settlements, payouts have ranged from under $20 to several hundred dollars per claimant, depending on the size of the class. However, if you experienced particularly egregious calling patterns, such as receiving dozens of calls over multiple years despite repeated requests to stop, your claim may not be weighted differently than someone who received just a handful of calls. TCPA settlements typically distribute funds equally among validated claimants rather than scaling payments based on the number of calls received.
What Is the Claims Process and How Do You File?
Filing a claim requires submitting documentation through the official settlement website before the March 21, 2026 deadline. The settlement administrator manages the claims process and can be reached by phone at 1-866-566-4210 or by email at Info@SXMTCPASettlement.com. Having records of the calls you received, such as phone bills or call logs, can strengthen your claim, though the specific documentation requirements will be outlined on the claims portal. For instance, if you kept detailed notes about SiriusXM calls in 2022 because you were frustrated enough to consider legal action, those contemporaneous records could prove valuable.
Similarly, if you have emails confirming that you requested removal from SiriusXM’s call list, retain those as potential supporting evidence. The settlement administrator will review submissions and determine eligibility based on the criteria outlined in the settlement agreement. The online claims process typically involves providing your contact information, the phone number that received calls, and details about your situation, such as whether you were on the Do Not Call Registry or had requested placement on SiriusXM’s internal list. Be thorough and accurate in your responses, as inconsistencies can delay processing or result in claim denial.
What Are the Critical Deadlines for This Settlement?
The class period spans from April 27, 2019, through October 31, 2025, meaning only calls received during this window count toward eligibility. The claim filing deadline is March 21, 2026, and missing this date means forfeiting your right to payment entirely. There is no grace period for late submissions in class action settlements of this type. If you wish to exclude yourself from the settlement and preserve your right to sue SiriusXM independently, or if you want to object to the settlement terms, the deadline is March 27, 2026.
The final approval hearing is scheduled for May 11, 2026, at which point the court will determine whether to approve the settlement and the proposed distribution plan. The tradeoff between staying in the settlement versus opting out is significant. Remaining in the class guarantees you a share of the $28 million if you have a valid claim, but it also releases your individual claims against SiriusXM. Opting out preserves your right to sue independently, but individual TCPA lawsuits are expensive and time-consuming, and there is no guarantee of a better outcome than the class settlement provides.
What If You Cannot Prove You Received Calls From SiriusXM?
Documentation challenges present a real obstacle for many potential claimants. Phone carriers typically retain call records for only 18 to 24 months, meaning calls from 2019 or 2020 may be impossible to verify through your carrier. The settlement administrator will have access to SiriusXM’s calling records, which may help validate claims even without claimant-provided documentation, but this process varies by settlement. If you distinctly remember receiving unwanted SiriusXM calls but lack records, you may still be able to file a claim.
Many class action settlements accept sworn statements about call receipt, though claims backed by documentation generally receive faster processing. Contact the settlement administrator directly to understand what evidence is required and whether affidavits are accepted. One warning: do not fabricate or exaggerate claims. Settlement administrators cross-reference submitted claims against company records, and fraudulent claims can result in denial, legal consequences, and harm to legitimate claimants by depleting the settlement fund.
Why Did SiriusXM Face This TCPA Lawsuit?
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act prohibits companies from making telemarketing calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry and requires companies to honor internal do-not-call requests within a reasonable timeframe. Plaintiffs alleged that SiriusXM systematically violated these requirements by continuing to call former subscribers and potential customers who had clearly indicated they did not want to receive such calls.
For example, someone who cancelled their SiriusXM trial after buying a new car might have received persistent calls asking them to resubscribe, even after registering for the Do Not Call list and verbally requesting that SiriusXM stop calling. These repeated contacts, despite clear opt-out signals, formed the basis of the class action complaint.
What Happens After the Final Approval Hearing?
Assuming the court grants final approval at the May 11, 2026 hearing, the settlement administrator will begin processing approved claims and distributing payments. This process typically takes several months following final approval, meaning claimants should not expect immediate payment after the hearing date.
Settlement checks usually arrive within 90 to 180 days of final approval, though complex distributions can take longer. If the court does not approve the settlement or requires modifications, the timeline extends further. Claimants who have filed will be notified of any significant changes affecting their claims or expected payments.
