Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a class action settlement that accused Walmart and Sam’s Club of violating labor laws by not paying employees for missed breaks and off-the-clock work.
According to reader comments and posts on the Top Class Actions Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the Walmart class action settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $4,406.10 on Dec. 17, 2016.
If you filed a claim for the Walmart wage and hour settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!
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.

74 thoughts onWalmart, Sam’s Club Employee Class Action Settlement Checks Mailed
It’s the middle of June and still have not received mine. I also got a postcard in the mail staying that if I got this card it means thney have all my info and I should receive my check soon. Well it still isn’t here and I have called and thbe people just keep saying they havent figured out the check amounts yet. This is sad you figured they would be on top of it all.
I called two days ago and they said they have a few more people to finish up with. They don’t have a release date set yet and they can’t give out an amount of your check until your check prints out. May was suppose to be the release date and now June will soon be over; it is so hard to stay positive!
Has anyone received their checks from the 2nd disbursement? Im still waiting. They said they had an issue with my SSN and needed additional hand written docs from me. Its Jun now.
I got all info they are at the end. It has to go to the court then next set of checks will be mailed. Coming from Philadelphia. They told me to check back in about 2 weeks. I would say end of june or beginning of july people will start seeing checks. See I have a question for every answer they give. I wanna know about when I will revieve my money
I called today Guy says something about the pts code for taxes wasn’t in my file. Lady told me months ago that it was. I also got the postcard stating they have all my information that they needed. They have had all the info years ago. Card said will be mailing check soon. Guy is saying they don’t have everybodys info yet. He said not sure when they are sending them out!!! Click on the update page link….shows a list of what they get for doing this and that. Check out for fielding all of our phone calls to them. Hmmmmmmmm.
I’m beginning to think these people are full of it.They told me i had a po box when i never did.theyre stalling and looking for excuses.
Its there. You will probably have your money end of June beginning of July
Any updates? Were nearing the end of 3rd week of May.
Wondering if anybody received their check like we were promised..sometime in May..
Thanks Megan N. I really appreciate that you checked for us! It gives us at least some hope of getting something
I got mine today.
Just wondering if anyone else has a received a check? Seems like some people got theirs but the rest didn’t. I bet the lawyers got their full share. If it wasn’t for all of us that worked there, they would have got nothing. 49 million dollars seemed like a lot of money for the attorneys to get and some of us are still waiting on our checks?
I checked and the next batch of checks are set to be sent sometime in May.
Has anyone else received
Like they say on the tv commercial , “Its my money and I want it NOW !”
