Do you shop at Trader Joe\u2019s<\/a>?<\/p>\n Some customers could be eligible for payouts, thanks to a $7.4 million settlement in a class action lawsuit<\/a> against the popular California-based supermarket chain.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to tell if you\u2019re eligible for a settlement payout:<\/p>\n Filed in 2019, the class action lawsuit alleged that Trader Joe\u2019s violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act<\/a> at some of its stores.<\/p>\n According to court filings, plaintiff Brian Keim alleged that some Trader Joe\u2019s locations printed transaction receipts<\/a> that included more digits of customers\u2019 credit or debit card numbers than the law allows, making them susceptible to identity theft.<\/p>\n Trader Joe\u2019s has denied those allegations and any wrongdoing, but agreed to settle the case to avoid continued litigation.<\/p>\n As a result of the settlement, some Traders Joe\u2019s shoppers are entiled to get money.<\/p>\n According to the official Keim v. Trader Joe\u2019s website, you\u2019re considered part of the settlement if your credit or debit card was used in a transaction at a Trader Joe\u2019s store that resulted in a receipt displaying the first six and last four digits of your card number.<\/p>\n The settlement applies specifically to transactions that took place between March 5 and July 19 in 2019.<\/p>\n How much money can I get?<\/p>\n The amount you\u2019ll get from the Trader Joe\u2019s settlement depends on the number of people who submit \u201cvalid and timely\u201d claims, according to the settlement website.<\/p>\n However, payouts are estimated at $102.45 per person.<\/p>\n How can I file a settlement claim? What\u2019s the deadline?<\/p>\n To receive a payout from the Trader Joe\u2019s settlement, you\u2019ll need to submit a settlement claim form<\/a> online or by phone by Tuesday, June 9.<\/p>\n Once the final approval of the settlement is granted, a check will be sent out. Checks can be cashed up to 180 days after the issue date.<\/p>\n Loading\u2026<\/p>\n Related Stories from Sacramento Bee<\/p>\n The Trader Joe\u2019s location in East Sacramento, photographed in June 2023, is a popular shopping destination in the neighborhood.
