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

Who qualifies to file

The class is broad. Anyone in the United States who placed an order from a restaurant through Uber Eats between March 1, 2022 and April 30, 2026 is a class member. You don't need to have been a frequent user — a single qualifying order is enough to submit a claim for the $8 flat payment. You also don't need to prove you were charged a marked-up menu price; the plaintiffs allege the practice was systemic across the platform during the class period.

You are not eligible if you only ordered groceries or convenience items (the case targets restaurant menu markups), if you already opted out by the August 29, 2026 deadline, or if you're an Uber employee, judge in the case, or class counsel. If you're unsure whether you're in, check the eligibility criteria on the Uber Eats settlement page or read our broader guide to who is eligible for a class action settlement.

What you need before you start

The Uber Eats claim form is one of the shortest in recent class action history because it's a no-proof settlement for the flat-payment tier. Still, having a few things handy makes filing frictionless and helps the administrator match your identity to Uber's order records.

• Your Claim ID / Notice ID (if Kroll emailed or mailed you a notice) — 8–12 characters, usually printed at the top.
• The email address associated with your Uber Eats account during 2022–2026 (even if you no longer use it).
• The phone number tied to that account, as a backup identifier.
• A current mailing address for check payments or 1099 correspondence.
• Your preferred digital payout account (PayPal email, Venmo handle, or Zelle-linked bank).

If you plan to claim the documented-refund tier (menu markups above in-store prices), also gather any Uber Eats receipts and matching in-store menu prices. Most filers skip that tier and take the $8.

Filing with a Claim ID (the fast path)

If Kroll Settlement Administration sent you an email or postcard with a Claim ID (sometimes called a Notice ID or Unique ID), this is the path of least resistance. The ID pre-links your submission to the order data Uber turned over in discovery, so the administrator doesn't have to run an identity match.

1. Open the official claim site listed on the notice (a Kroll subdomain — never a link from social media or a text).
2. Click "File a Claim" and select "I received a notice."
3. Enter your Claim ID exactly as printed, plus the confirmation code if one is shown.
4. Review the pre-filled name and address, correct any typos, and add your current email.
5. Choose your payment method: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, virtual prepaid card, or paper check.
6. Read the certification statement, check the box, and submit.
7. Save the confirmation number — screenshot it and email it to yourself.

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

Most Uber Eats customers won't get a mailed notice — the class is estimated in the tens of millions, and administrators typically only mail a subset. That doesn't disqualify you. The claim form has a clearly labeled option: "I did not receive a notice." Selecting it opens a slightly longer form where you self-identify.

You'll enter your full name, current mailing address, and the email address and phone number linked to your Uber Eats account during the class period. Kroll cross-references those identifiers against Uber's records. If they match an account with qualifying orders, your claim is approved. If they don't, the administrator may email you to ask for a screenshot of your Uber Eats order history (Settings → Orders in the app) as a tiebreaker.

File exactly one claim per person, even if you had multiple Uber Eats accounts — duplicate claims tied to the same identity are consolidated. For a deeper walkthrough of the general no-notice process, see our guide on how to file a class action claim.

Proof rules and payment options

There are two payment tiers. The default is a flat $8 with no receipts required — this is what the vast majority of claimants will take. The alternative is a documented-refund tier for the difference between what you were charged on Uber Eats and the in-store menu price, which requires receipts and proof of the restaurant's in-store menu at the time of the order. That's a heavy lift for a few dollars per order, so it's mainly worth it for restaurant-industry claimants or people who kept detailed records.

Key deadlines and dates

The single most important date is the claim filing deadline: September 19, 2026. Miss it and you lose the right to any payment while remaining bound by the release (meaning you can't sue Uber separately over the same conduct). The opt-out and objection deadline was August 29, 2026 — that window has closed, so at this point your only options are to file or do nothing.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for October 20, 2026, at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. If the court approves the settlement, payments typically go out 60–120 days later, followed by any appeals period. For a realistic timeline read our post on how long it takes to get a settlement check, or the case-specific Uber Eats settlement payout date breakdown.

After you file: what to expect

Immediately after submitting, the site shows a confirmation number. Save it — it's the only thing that proves you filed if the administrator later loses your record. You should also receive a confirmation email from a Kroll domain within 24 hours; if you don't, check spam, then re-submit rather than assuming it went through.

Between now and the payout date, Kroll may email you if they need additional information (a corrected address, an identity clarification, or documentation for the refund tier). Reply promptly — unresponded requests are the top reason claims get denied. After the court's final approval, you'll get a payment notification and the funds will hit your chosen method. If you moved, update your address with the administrator before payments issue. For general context on why final payments sometimes come in lower than expected, see why class action settlement checks are so small.
