The Katz-Lacabe et al. v. Oracle America, Inc. privacy settlement lists a payment of $37.42 for each valid claimant. The administrator says payments are scheduled to run from September 21 through December 7, 2026. The claim deadline—October 17, 2024—has passed, so this is a guide to checking a claim you already filed, not submitting a new one. The case is No. 3:22-cv-04792-RS in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Check the official settlement website for current notices and claim-specific help.
Who may receive the Oracle settlement payment?
The $37.42 amount applies to a valid claim submitted by the October 17, 2024 deadline. The settlement website does not establish whether any particular person filed a claim, whether the administrator accepted it, or when that person’s payment will arrive. Those details are specific to each claim and must be confirmed through the settlement administrator.
If you did not file by the deadline, the official site does not offer a way to start a new claim now. Do not rely on a social media post or an unofficial claims page to reopen the process.
How to check a claim or payment
- Go to the official Oracle Data Privacy Settlement website. Confirm that the page identifies the case as Katz-Lacabe et al. v. Oracle America, Inc., Case No. 3:22-cv-04792-RS.
- Use the site’s current notices and administrator contact information to ask about the status of a claim you already filed. Follow the administrator’s directions for any claim-specific lookup.
- Check the payment method you selected when filing—such as the relevant email account or payment account—for a payment or notification. A payment channel can show whether money arrived, but it cannot determine whether a claim was accepted.
- If the payment is missing or a notice is unclear, contact the administrator using contact details published on the official settlement site. Avoid entering claim numbers, financial details, or other sensitive information on sites that are not identified as official.
The administrator’s currently published schedule says distribution is to begin September 21, 2026 and be completed by December 7, 2026. Because that is a distribution window, not an individual delivery promise, check the official site for any updated notice and ask the administrator about your own claim.

What the lawsuit alleged—and what the settlement means
The lawsuit alleged that Oracle tracked people’s online and offline activity, combined information, and made data or information derived from it available to third parties without consent. Oracle denied the allegations and wrongdoing. As the court-authorized settlement FAQ explains, entering the settlement was not an admission of guilt or wrongdoing by Oracle.
The settlement fund was $115 million, according to the Northern District of California’s 2024 order. The court order described an approximately $25 estimate per valid claimant at that point in the administration. That was an earlier estimate; the administrator’s current website states $37.42 per valid claimant.

Where the case stands
Final approval was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit on February 13, 2026. An objector challenged the settlement and its equal allocation, and the appeals court concluded that the district court did not abuse its discretion in approving equal distribution among claimants. The disposition is marked not for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. Read the Ninth Circuit disposition.

This settlement concerns alleged privacy tracking in the Katz-Lacabe case. It is not the same as separate Oracle-related data-breach litigation, including the Dartmouth Oracle EBS matter. Those cases have different claims, classes, deadlines, and administrators. Match the case name and number before sharing information or contacting an administrator.
