Cosco Fire Protection Washington job posting settlement

Cosco Fire Protection settled a claim that its Washington job postings did not state the wage scale or salary range the law requires. The class is people who applied for a Washington-based Cosco job between January 1, 2023 and July 26, 2025 through the company's own site or Indeed, and there is no claim form at all: the administrator divides the $332,000.00 fund equally among class members who do not opt out and pays from Cosco's applicant records, estimating $1,264.46 each. That estimate is not a guarantee, and the useful step is confirming your mailing address or payment choice with the administrator by October 23, 2026, which is also the deadline to opt out or object. Nothing on the official site costs anything, and the court considers final approval on December 18, 2026.

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.

When the money moves

What the official materials say about the payment schedule for this settlement, and what the administrator has published since. Every figure below is linked to the page it was read from.

Status: Payments have not started

Expected

The court considers final approval on December 18, 2026, and the FAQ says payments are issued after that and after any appeals. Checks go void 180 days after they are issued.

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.

Shannon Spencer v. Cosco Fire Protection, Inc. · 25-2-21171-1 KNT · Superior Court of Washington, King County

There is no claim form. Everyone in the class who does not opt out receives an equal share of the $332,000.00 fund, paid from Cosco's own applicant records, and the FAQ gives an estimated payment of $1,264.46. That figure is an estimate rather than a guarantee: $99,600.00 in attorneys' fees, up to $2,500.00 in costs and a $7,500.00 service award come out of the same fund, subject to court approval. The step that matters is making sure the administrator has a current mailing address by October 23, 2026, because the FAQ warns that without one a payment may not arrive.
