How to file a Fitbit settlement claim (with or without a Claim ID)

First, confirm you're eligible

The class is narrower than most people assume, so check this before you spend time on the form. You qualify if you are a U.S. resident who owned a Fitbit device and synced it to a Fitbit account between January 1, 2019 and March 31, 2026. That includes trackers (Charge, Inspire, Luxe), smartwatches (Versa, Sense) and the Ace kids' line — as long as the device connected to a Fitbit account you controlled.

You do not need to still own the device. A synced account is enough, even if you've since deleted it or switched to a Google account after the 2023 migration. Household members who used your account but never had their own login are not separate class members.

If you never had a Fitbit but bought one as a gift, you're not the class member — the person whose account received the syncs is. And if you're outside the United States, this settlement doesn't cover you regardless of where the device was purchased.

What you'll need before you open the form

Gather these first — the form times out and you don't want to restart. You'll enter it all in about five minutes.

• Claim ID and PIN from the notice email (sender: an Epiq address) or postcard. Optional but faster.
• Legal name and current mailing address. Use the name on your Fitbit account, then note any change.
• Email address you'll actually check — this is where the confirmation number lands.
• Payment choice. Direct deposit needs your bank routing and account number. PayPal/Venmo need the email or phone tied to the account. A paper check needs your mailing address only.
• Whether you enabled third-party app sharing (Strava, MyFitnessPal, Peloton, etc.) at any point. Answering yes qualifies you for the additional payment on top of the $12 base.

No receipts, screenshots, or device serial numbers are required for the base claim. The administrator checks eligibility against Fitbit's own records.

Filing with a Claim ID and PIN

If Epiq mailed or emailed you a notice, this is the fastest path — you're pre-verified and the form auto-fills most fields.

1. Open the official claim site linked from the settlements/fitbit.html page or your notice email. Verify the URL matches the administrator (Epiq Class Action & Claims Solutions) before entering anything.
2. Enter your Claim ID and PIN exactly as shown — they're case-sensitive and the dashes matter.
3. Confirm your name, email and mailing address. Update the address if you've moved; the administrator uses this one, not the one on your Fitbit account.
4. Answer the third-party sharing question honestly. This unlocks the extra payment (up to $20 more) if you enabled sharing during the class period.
5. Choose your payment method — direct deposit, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or paper check.
6. Review, submit, and save the confirmation number on the final screen. Screenshot it and forward the confirmation email to yourself for safekeeping.

Filing without a Claim ID (the "no notice received" path)

Never got a notice? You can still file. On the claim landing page, look for a link labeled something like "I did not receive a notice" or "File without a Claim ID." You'll fill out a slightly longer form so the administrator can match you to Fitbit's records.

Expect to enter your full legal name, all email addresses you may have used with Fitbit, an approximate date range you owned the device, and the device model if you remember it. Epiq will cross-reference against the class list Fitbit provided. Most legitimate account holders match on email alone.

If the administrator can't verify you, they'll email you within a few weeks asking for one supporting document — usually a screenshot of the Fitbit app showing your account, an order confirmation from fitbit.com, or a bank statement line showing a Fitbit purchase. Save these now if you're on this path.

Filing without a notice does not reduce your payment. It just takes an extra verification step.

Picking a payment method (and how long each takes)

Pick the fastest option you're comfortable with. Digital payments arrive weeks before paper checks and don't get lost in the mail. Class settlements typically send checks last because they print in batches after all disputes clear.

Deadline, confirmation, and what to do after you submit

The claim deadline is September 8, 2026. Late claims are almost never accepted — the fund closes to new claimants after that date so the administrator can calculate per-person amounts. If you also want to exclude yourself (opt out) or object, those deadlines were earlier — August 25, 2026.

After you submit, you should see a confirmation number on screen and receive a confirmation email within a few minutes. If nothing arrives within an hour, check spam, then resubmit — duplicate claims are fine because the administrator dedupes by name and email. Do not assume the first attempt went through.

Save the confirmation number in your notes app or a folder called "class action claims." If your address, bank, or email changes between now and payout, contact the administrator through the settlement site to update it — the court's Fitbit Health Data Settlement page lists the contact form.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for October 2, 2026. Payments typically go out 60–120 days after final approval, assuming no appeals.

File this and every claim you qualify for in one place

The Fitbit form is short, but it's one of 20+ open settlements right now — and you probably qualify for several. Fitbit, the TikTok privacy fund, the Instagram biometric case, and hidden-fee cases against Ticketmaster, DoorDash and Uber Eats all overlap with anyone who's had a phone in the last five years.

Owed does the boring part: you answer nine questions, we match you to the settlements you're actually eligible for from our directory of open claims, pre-fill each form with your info, submit them with your permission, and track them through payout. Filing Fitbit through Owed takes about 30 seconds because we already have your name, email and address on file.

Owed is free to find and file claims. You keep 100% of self-filed payouts. If you'd rather file Fitbit directly on the Epiq site, that's fine too — the process above works either way. Whichever route you pick, don't leave the $12–$32 on the table just because a form looked annoying at 11pm.

Glossary

Claim ID

A unique code (usually 8–12 characters) on your notice email or postcard that pre-verifies you as a class member so the form auto-fills.

PIN

A short password paired with the Claim ID to prove the notice belongs to you. Case-sensitive.

Class period

The dates during which the alleged conduct occurred. For Fitbit, January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2026.

Administrator

The independent company (here, Epiq) hired by the court to process claims, verify eligibility, and send payments.

Third-party app sharing

A Fitbit setting that let apps like Strava or MyFitnessPal read your health data. Enabling it during the class period unlocks the extra payment.

Confirmation number

The unique ID displayed after you submit the form. Keep it — it's how you prove you filed if the administrator can't find your claim later.
