Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Spirit Halloween Wage Disclosure Settlement about?

How much money will I receive?
Every class member receives an equal share of the net fund for each job posting they applied to. A sample estimate is $749.33, but the exact amount depends on the final class size and Court-approved deductions.
Do I need to file a claim?
No. Payments are automatic. Just make sure the Settlement Administrator has your current address.
What happens if I do nothing?
You will stay in the class, be bound by the release, and receive a check if the settlement becomes final.
How do I opt out of the Spirit Halloween settlement?
Mail a signed exclusion letter postmarked by December 3 2025 to the address listed above. You cannot opt out by phone or email.
Can I still object if I exclude myself?
No. You must remain in the class to file an objection. Excluding yourself removes you from the lawsuit entirely.
