Consumers in Washington state who received these texts between November 14, 2019, and August 7, 2025, and did not consent to receiving them, were eligible to file a claim. While the claim deadline was October 27th, the settlement was approved on December 2nd by U.S. District Judge John Chun. Eligible claimants can receive between $88 and $147, based on the number of approved claims, estimated at no more than 5% of the 1,975,187 class members. Block denies any wrongdoing and maintains its compliance with all applicable laws.
