The program offered $47 for qualifying signatures and referrals, later raising the amount to $100 for Pennsylvania voters. Lawsuits filed afterward allege that some participants were not fully paid, but court rulings have not determined that every signer is owed money or established the status of any individual check.
Why some signers may still be waiting
The original offer was conditional, not a payment for every person who signed. The court’s account of the program says registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin could receive payment for signing a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. Participants could also earn the same amount for eligible referrals.
- The signature had to be made while the relevant $47 or $100 offer was active.
- Eligibility depended on state, voter-registration status and, for referrals, confirmation that the referral met the program’s rules.
- The referee had to list the referrer’s email address.
- Payments were subject to verification. Payments of $600 or more required a signed IRS W-9 so a 1099 could be issued.
The program notice reproduced in the court’s 2025 opinion said qualifying payments were being processed and expected to be issued by November 30, 2024. That was the program’s announced timeline, not proof that every eligible check was mailed by then. The court’s factual account and reproduced terms describe the offer and its conditions.
What participants allege—and what America PAC says
Participants suing America PAC allege that they accepted the offer but received only some, or none, of the payments they say were due. In a January 2026 opinion, the court recounted a Pennsylvania canvasser’s allegation that he had received hourly wages and some referral payments but was still owed approximately $20,000. That amount is the plaintiff’s claim, not a court finding or a verified total for the program.

A later Pennsylvania Capital-Star report described voters who said they had received no payment for signing or referring someone. Plaintiffs’ counsel said discovery had been delayed. The outlet also quoted America PAC’s website as saying it had mailed the “overwhelming majority” of checks owed to eligible signers and referrers, while continuing to review payments flagged for mismatched information or requiring additional action. That is the PAC’s description; the report did not independently verify how many checks remain outstanding.
In April 2025, America PAC spokesperson Andrew Romeo told the Associated Press that the PAC was committed to paying for every legitimate signature, while also saying it could withhold payments from people it considered fraudsters. Those are the PAC’s statements in response to litigation, not an independent accounting of payments. The Associated Press report covered the PAC’s position.

What the court rulings do—and do not—establish
In August 2025, Chief Judge Wendy Beetlestone considered motions in two related cases in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. She dismissed claims against Group America without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, dismissed promissory-estoppel claims without prejudice, and dismissed one plaintiff’s wage-payment claim without prejudice. The court denied motions to dismiss other claims, including contract claims, allowing them to continue beyond that stage. The August 2025 opinion describes those rulings.
Allowing a claim to proceed past a motion to dismiss is not a decision that the alleged nonpayment occurred, that a class will be certified, or that every proposed class member qualifies for payment. A January 2026 opinion in the Maglietta case continued to recount allegations of incomplete payments; it did not resolve every claimant’s eligibility or establish a final amount owed. The January 2026 opinion addresses the allegations in that case.
What to take away if you are still waiting
The public information summarized in these court opinions and reports does not give a reliable, independently verified count of eligible people still unpaid, a percentage of checks outstanding, or the current status of an individual payment. The PAC’s statement that most checks owed to eligible participants were mailed does not confirm whether a particular person qualified or whether their check was sent. Likewise, a lawsuit’s allegations do not by themselves establish that a particular signer is legally owed money.
