SiriusXM has agreed to pay $28 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the satellite radio company violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act by making unwanted telemarketing calls to consumers on the National Do Not Call Registry. If you received more than one telemarketing call from SiriusXM within any 12-month period between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025, and your number was registered on the Do Not Call list or you had asked SiriusXM to stop calling, you may be eligible to claim a pro rata payment of up to $1,500. The claim form can be submitted online at www.SXMTCPASettlement.com or mailed to the settlement administrator in Philadelphia, and the deadline to file is March 21, 2026. The case, Campbell et al. v.

Sirius XM Radio Inc. (Case No. 2:22-cv-2261-CSB-EIL), was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois by named plaintiffs Julie Campbell, Diana Bickford, and Kerrie Mulholland. The lawsuit centered on allegations that SiriusXM continued placing telemarketing calls to people who had made it clear they did not want to be contacted, whether through the federal registry or direct requests to the company.

Who Is Eligible for the SiriusXM Robocall and Telemarketing Settlement?
Eligibility hinges on two conditions that must both be met. First, you must have received more than one telemarketing call from siriusxm within any 12-month period between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025. Second, your phone number must have been registered on the National Do Not Call Registry or you must have specifically asked SiriusXM to place you on its internal Do Not Call list. The settlement applies to calls received on any type of phone, whether landline, wireless, cell, or mobile. A common point of confusion is what counts as “more than one call within a 12-month period.” This does not mean you needed to receive dozens of calls.
If SiriusXM called you in March 2023 and again in September 2023, and your number was on the Do Not Call Registry at the time, that qualifies. However, if you only received a single call during any rolling 12-month window, you would not meet the threshold. People who were active SiriusXM subscribers who had not opted out of marketing communications may also have difficulty establishing eligibility, since the TCPA’s Do Not Call provisions are specifically designed to protect people who have affirmatively indicated they do not want telemarketing calls. It is worth noting that the settlement covers a fairly long class period, stretching over six years. Many people may not remember specific calls from 2019 or 2020, but phone records from your carrier can sometimes help verify this. If you are unsure whether you qualify, the settlement website has tools and information to help you determine your eligibility before you submit a claim.
How Much Will Claimants Actually Receive from the $28 Million Fund?
The settlement establishes a $28 million fund, and eligible claimants can receive a pro rata payment of up to $1,500. That “up to” language is important. The actual amount each person receives depends entirely on how many valid claims are filed and how much money remains in the fund after attorneys’ fees, administrative costs, and service awards to the three named class representatives are deducted. Here is how the math works in practice. If attorneys’ fees and costs consume roughly a third of the fund, which is typical in TCPA settlements, that leaves approximately $18 to $19 million for distribution. If 15,000 valid claims are filed, each claimant might receive around $1,200 to $1,300.
If 50,000 people file, payouts could drop to the $350 to $400 range. In high-profile settlements like this one involving a well-known brand, claim rates tend to be higher than average, which pushes individual payments down. However, TCPA settlements historically see lower claim rates than product-defect or data-breach cases because many consumers do not realize they qualify or cannot recall receiving the calls. One limitation to keep in mind is that payment distribution will not begin until after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved. The final approval hearing is scheduled for May 11, 2026, but if SiriusXM or an objector appeals the settlement, disbursement could be delayed by months or even longer. This is not unusual for class action settlements of this size, but it means you should not expect a check immediately after filing your claim.
How to Complete and Submit the SiriusXM TCPA Settlement Claim Form
Filing a claim is straightforward, and you have two options. The faster method is submitting online at www.SXMTCPASettlement.com. The alternative is downloading the PDF claim form from the same website, filling it out, and mailing it to: SXM TCPA Settlement Administrator, Attn: Claim Form Submissions, 1650 Arch St., Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103. Online submissions must be completed by March 21, 2026, and mailed forms must be postmarked by that same date. The information required on the claim form is minimal compared to many class action settlements. You will need to provide the phone number that received the telemarketing calls from SiriusXM, your full name, and your current contact information.
You do not need to provide call logs, phone bills, or other documentary proof at the time of filing. However, the settlement administrator reserves the right to request verification, so having some record of the calls is advisable. If you changed phone numbers during the class period, you should file using the number that actually received the calls, not your current number. For anyone who has questions or needs assistance, a toll-freetoll-free[contact via the official settlement website]. One practical tip: if you file online, save or screenshot your confirmation page. If you mail in the form, consider using certified mail or at least a tracking number so you have proof it was sent before the deadline. Settlement administrators occasionally report issues with lost or delayed mail, and having documentation protects your claim.
Online Filing vs. Mailing the Claim Form — Which Is Better?
Both methods are equally valid, but there are practical tradeoffs worth considering. Online filing through www.SXMTCPASettlement.com is immediate. You get a confirmation right away, there is no risk of postal delays, and you can complete it in a few minutes from your phone or computer. The system typically walks you through each required field, reducing the chance of errors that could delay processing. Mailing the paper form has its own advantages for certain claimants. Some people are uncomfortable entering personal information on websites or prefer to have a physical copy of what they submitted.
If you go the mail route, the form must be postmarked by March 21, 2026, which gives you a hard deadline that does not depend on website uptime or technical issues. The tradeoff is processing time. Paper claims take longer to enter into the system and are more susceptible to errors from illegible handwriting or incomplete fields. If you mail a form that is missing required information, you may not find out until weeks later when the administrator contacts you for corrections, potentially putting your claim at risk if the correction window is tight. For most people, online filing is the better choice. It is faster, provides instant confirmation, and reduces the chance of administrative errors. The only scenario where mailing makes more sense is if you lack reliable internet access or strongly prefer paper documentation.
Critical Deadlines and What Happens If You Miss Them
The most important date for claimants is March 21, 2026. This is the deadline for both online claim submissions and the postmark date for mailed claim forms. Missing this deadline almost certainly means forfeiting your right to payment. Settlement administrators rarely grant extensions for individual late claims, and courts are generally unsympathetic to claimants who miss clearly published deadlines. A separate but equally important deadline is March 27, 2026, which is the last day to either exclude yourself from or file an objection to the settlement. Exclusion, sometimes called opting out, means you preserve your right to sue SiriusXM individually over the same telemarketing calls but give up any payment from this settlement.
Objecting means you stay in the class but formally tell the court you disagree with some aspect of the settlement terms. If you do nothing, you remain part of the class, receive whatever payment your claim entitles you to, and release your TCPA claims against SiriusXM related to the calls covered by the settlement. The warning here is specific: if you believe your individual TCPA claim could be worth significantly more than your pro rata share of this settlement, you should consult an attorney before the March 27 exclusion deadline. Under the TCPA, statutory damages can be $500 per violation and up to $1,500 per willful violation. If you received dozens of calls, an individual claim could theoretically be worth more than what this settlement would pay you. But pursuing individual litigation is expensive, uncertain, and time-consuming, so for most people, filing a claim is the practical choice.
What the TCPA Requires and Why SiriusXM Faced This Lawsuit
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act prohibits companies from making telemarketing calls to numbers registered on the National Do Not Call Registry and requires companies to maintain their own internal Do Not Call lists for consumers who request no further calls. Violations carry statutory damages of $500 per call, which can be trebled to $1,500 per call if the violations are found to be willful. These per-call penalties are what make TCPA class actions so expensive for defendants, and they are what drove SiriusXM to settle for $28 million rather than risk a trial.
The plaintiffs in this case alleged that SiriusXM systematically ignored Do Not Call requests and continued calling consumers who had made it clear they did not want to hear from the company. This is not the first time SiriusXM has faced such allegations. The company has a well-documented history of aggressive telemarketing and customer retention calls, and consumer complaints about unwanted SiriusXM calls have been a recurring theme on complaint boards and regulatory filings for years.
What This Settlement Means Going Forward
The $28 million price tag sends a meaningful signal to companies that rely on telemarketing. While SiriusXM did not admit wrongdoing as part of the settlement, the financial consequence is real and public. For consumers, this case is a reminder that the Do Not Call Registry is not just a suggestion. It carries legal weight, and companies that ignore it face significant exposure, especially when class action attorneys get involved.
For anyone currently receiving unwanted telemarketing calls from any company, this settlement underscores the importance of registering your number at donotcall.gov and documenting calls when they continue. Keep a log of dates, times, and caller IDs. Those records become valuable if a class action is later filed or if you decide to pursue an individual TCPA claim. The law is on your side, but evidence makes it enforceable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if SiriusXM called me during the class period?
Check your phone records or call history for calls from SiriusXM between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025. Your mobile carrier may be able to provide historical call records. SiriusXM calls often come from numbers associated with their customer service or marketing departments.
Do I need to provide proof that I received calls from SiriusXM?
Not at the time of filing. The claim form only requires your phone number, name, and contact information. However, the settlement administrator may request verification later, so retaining any records you have is a good idea.
Can I file a claim if I was a SiriusXM subscriber during the class period?
Being a subscriber does not automatically disqualify you. The key question is whether your number was on the Do Not Call Registry or whether you asked SiriusXM to stop calling. Subscribers who never opted out of marketing communications may have a harder time establishing eligibility.
What if I received calls on multiple phone numbers?
You should file a separate claim for each phone number that received qualifying calls. Each number represents a distinct claim under the settlement terms.
Will filing a claim affect any current SiriusXM subscription I have?
No. Filing a claim should have no impact on your subscription status or service. The settlement resolves past telemarketing conduct and does not affect the ongoing business relationship.
When will I actually receive my payment?
Payment distribution begins after the court grants final approval at the May 11, 2026 hearing and after any appeals are resolved. Realistically, most claimants should expect to receive payment in mid-to-late 2026, assuming no significant legal challenges arise.
