SiriusXM agrees to $28 million settlement — here’s who qualifies and how to claim your share
Summary
SiriusXM has agreed to a $28 million settlement to resolve a class-action lawsuit concerning aggressive telemarketing tactics that violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The lawsuit alleged SiriusXM contacted individuals on the National Do Not Call Registry for over 31 days and ignored internal “do-not-call” requests. While SiriusXM denies wrongdoing, the settlement avoids further litigation costs.
Eligibility for a payout requires being contacted more than once by SiriusXM between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025, and either being a non-subscriber on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days or having explicitly requested to be added to SiriusXM’s internal “do-not-call” list and still receiving calls. Proof of financial harm is not required, but claimants must attest to the calls occurring within the specified timeframe. Subscribers are generally excluded unless they also meet the non-subscriber or opt-out criteria.
The claim deadline is March 21, with objections due by March 27 and a final approval hearing scheduled for May 11. Payout amounts will vary based on the number of valid claims submitted. Claims must be filed through the official settlement website, and participation is free; consumers should avoid third-party services offering assistance for a fee.
