The Walmart settlement resolves allegations that the retailer did not financially compensate its Pennsylvania employees for missed rest breaks in violation of federal labor laws as well as Walmart’s employee handbook.
According to the class action lawsuit, hourly workers at both Walmart and Sam’s Club within the state of Pennsylvania did not receive pay for tasks performed off the clock or missed meal and rest breaks.
Walmart denied the allegations and appealed the near $141 million verdict to the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the court decided not to hear the case.
Class Members included all hourly workers employed by Walmart or Sam’s Club within the state of Pennsylvania between Mar. 19, 1998 and May 1, 2006.
The deadline to file a claim for the Walmart employee settlement passed on Oct. 1, 2016.

Received the post card to my PO Box. According to other posts, they won’t send to a PO Box. Did an address change, called 3x, and emailed, and nothing as of yet..Alot of the people who worked with me have already received their check. It would be nice to have a website or link to consult to find out the status of your check.
Have your heard anything about your check since you did your address change and have call and stuff? I seen your post about the p.o. box addresses and changed my address but still have not received any.
