If you were an AT&T wireless customer anytime between 2015 and 2023, you might be owed money. That’s right—AT&T has agreed to a $14 million class action settlement over claims it improperly charged postpaid users hidden administrative fees.
The best part? You don’t need to prove you were harmed to get a piece of the payout. But there’s a catch: the deadline to file a claim is fast approaching—May 31, 2025.
Eligibility
Wondering if you qualify? It’s pretty straightforward. If you were a postpaid AT&T wireless customer—meaning you paid your bill monthly after using your service—between 2015 and 2023, you’re likely eligible.
Even if you’re no longer an AT&T customer, you can still file. Former customers just need to provide their old account details.
The company’s own billing database will verify most claims automatically, so there’s no need to dig up paperwork. Still, double-check your records or use the lookup tool on the official claims website to confirm eligibility.
Claiming
Filing your claim is easy and won’t take more than a few minutes. You have two options:
- Online: Visit the official AT&T settlement website and complete the form.
- By Mail: Download and print the claim form, fill it out, and send it to the listed address.
You’ll need to provide your name, current contact information, and your existing or former AT&T account number. Just don’t wait—the final deadline is May 31, 2025. Miss that, and your claim won’t be accepted, no matter what.
Here’s a breakdown of the key details:
| Detail | Information |

| Eligibility Period | 2015 – 2023 |
| Eligible Customers | Postpaid Wireless Users |

Payouts
So, how much can you actually expect? That depends on how many people file. The total payout pool is fixed at $14 million, so the more claimants, the smaller each share.
Early projections say most people will receive between $15 and $50, but that could change depending on the final claim count.
Payments will be made through your chosen method—either a digital payment like PayPal or Venmo, or a mailed check. Make sure you enter your preferred option correctly when filing.
Timeline
The settlement received final court approval in February 2025. Unless someone appeals (which could delay things), payouts are expected to begin in mid-to-late 2025.
Just to be safe, keep your contact info updated, especially your mailing address and email. That’s how they’ll notify you about your payment status.
Resources
Still not sure if you qualify? The settlement’s website includes a handy account lookup tool to confirm your eligibility.
You’ll need your old AT&T account number, so if you don’t have it handy, dig through your emails or call AT&T customer support.
Bottom line: If you were charged these questionable fees, this is your chance to get some money back. But the clock is ticking.
