Case Summary:SquareTrade, Inc. is settling a class action alleging it underpaid two groups of consumers who made claims under SquareTrade Protection Plans. In the case of the Fast Cash Subclass, the complaint claims SquareTrade made payments of the estimated replacement cost of the covered item that were less than they should have been; and that in the case of the SKU-Cap Subclass, SquareTrade unintentionally applied an improper cap to the amount of the reimbursement to certain customers.

Typical Settlement Amount:Benefits will depend on which subclass you are in and how many previous Protection Plan reimbursements you received from SquareTrade and in what amounts.
- Fast Cash Subclass: The difference in price between (1) the amount SquareTrade reimbursed you as the replacement cost and (2) the actual cost of replacing the protected item. If the difference is $35 or less, you do not have to provide documentation.
- SKU-Cap Subclass: The difference between the amount SquareTrade already reimbursed you and the original purchase price of the protected item.
