What this settlement is about

The Heckathorn case claimed a group of Farmers insurance agents blasted consumers with repeated telemarketing calls and texts in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Farmers entities agreed to fund a $1.25 million settlement covering roughly six years of contacts. Because eligible phone numbers were pulled from litigation records, claimants only need to file a form postmarked by September 14, 2026, and each stands to collect as much as $160.

Who is eligible

People who got two or more marketing calls or texts pitching Farmers insurance from certain named agents or their agencies between April 19, 2020 and June 15, 2026, where the phone number appears in the case records.

File honestly. No proof is required to submit this claim, but the form is signed under penalty of perjury. Only file if you actually meet the eligibility rules above. Administrators audit and reject fraudulent claims, and mass bogus filings shrink payouts for real class members. More in our guide tono-proof settlements.

Estimated payout

Up to $160 per claimant after fees and administration costs; the final figure depends on how many valid claims come in.

No payment amount is ever guaranteed. Pro rata payouts shrink as more valid claims come in, and every payment waits on final court approval and any appeals.

Proof requirements

No documentation is required. You submit the claim form and attest to your eligibility; the administrator validates claims against available records.
