Verizon is paying $100 million in settlements — here's how to check if you're getting paid

Verizon is currently distributing $100 million to customers who filed claims in a class-action settlement over hidden fees. Payments began in mid-2025 through direct deposit, Zelle transfers, and mailed checks, with amounts ranging from $5 to $100 depending on how long customers paid the disputed charges.
