CFPB consumer payment · Open
Easy Military Travel CFPB redress payments
The CFPB is refunding servicemembers and their families who financed airline tickets through Easy Military Travel, after a consent order issued on November 25, 2019 found the company misrepresented what the credit cost and left out required disclosures. The CFPB page lists the distribution as ongoing from July 9, 2026 and names Rust Consulting as the administrator. There is no claim form and no deadline — payments go to people the Bureau has already identified, so if you think you are covered the useful step is making sure Rust Consulting has a current address for you. The page does not state a date range for the loans. Contacting the CFPB or the administrator is free.
There is no claim form for this one. The administrator pays consumers it has already identified, so the useful step is to make sure they can reach you — not to file anything. Anyone offering to file it for you, for a fee, is selling you nothing.

Settlements pay in batches, often in tiers, and a distribution can run for months between the first payment and the last. A start date means the administrator has begun paying valid claims — it does not mean any particular claim has been paid, and it is not a sign that a payment is on its way to any particular person.
If you filed and nothing has arrived, the administrator is the only one who can tell you where your claim stands. We hold no claim records and cannot look one up.
Expected
The CFPB lists the distribution as ongoing rather than finished, so payments are still going out in batches.
Read off the official notice, in its own words. These dates slip — an appeal can move a distribution by a year or more — so treat it as the administrator's plan rather than a schedule.

CFPB v. Edmiston Marketing, LLC d/b/a Easy Military Travel, Brandon Edmiston · 2019-BCFP-0011
This is a Civil Penalty Fund distribution: the CFPB pays consumers it has already identified and there is no claim form to fill in. The 2019 consent order imposed $3,468,224 in redress but suspended it because the company could not pay, so the money comes from the Bureau's Civil Penalty Fund instead. No per-person amount has been published, so any figure would be an estimate. Nothing in this program costs anything.
