Match, confirm, filed. You get the check.
- It matches settlements to your purchases. The agent keeps a database of open class-action settlements and checks them against your real transaction history: the retailer, the dates, the product. No guessing whether you qualify.
- It shows you what you qualify for. Each match comes with the settlement name, the estimated payout, the proof required (usually none), and the deadline. You decide which ones to file.
- It files the claim and tracks it. One tap and the claim is filed with the settlement administrator. impause tracks the status and tells you when the check or deposit is on the way.
A $300 check for doing nothing
The problem. Billions of dollars in class-action settlements go unclaimed every year. Claim rates are often in the single digits. The notice arrives as a postcard or a buried email, the form asks for a receipt you threw away, and the deadline passes.
What impause does about it. Our founder collected about $400 in settlement payouts in 2026 by filing claims by hand. impause does that work for you: it already knows what you bought, so it knows what you're owed.
