Jimmy John's Washington job posting settlement

Who may be eligible

Sandwich SC, which runs Jimmy John's sandwich shops, has agreed to a $975,000.00 settlement of claims that its Washington job postings left out the wage scale, salary range or a general description of benefits. People who applied for a Washington job opening with the company between January 1, 2023 and August 24, 2026 may be eligible, and no claim form is involved: class members who do not opt out share the fund equally after the $321,750.00 in fees and costs and the $20,000.00 service award the FAQ says will be requested from it, so the amount per person depends on how large the class turns out to be. By November 13, 2026 a class member can update a mailing address, pick a digital payment, opt out or object, and the official site charges nothing for any of that. Final approval is heard on January 22, 2027.

The eligibility period on the official materials is January 1, 2023 – August 24, 2026. It is limited to Washington. Covered: Jimmy John's job applications in Washington (Sandwich SC LLC).

Only the official administrator or agency decides who is paid, and its own page is the authority on who is covered.

How much it may pay

Equal share of a $975,000 fund. Every figure here is an estimate from public materials, not a guarantee: many settlements pay pro rata or only after a claims review, so final amounts commonly land well below the advertised maximum.

No claim form is involved. Class members who do not opt out share the $975,000.00 fund equally, after the $321,750.00 in attorneys' fees, costs and expenses and the $20,000.00 service award the FAQ says will be requested from it, so the amount per person depends on the size of the class and no figure is published. By November 13, 2026 a class member can confirm or update a mailing address, choose a digital payment instead of a cheque, opt out or object. Payments are reported as non-wage damages on a 1099 and expire 180 days after issue.

What the deadline is

There is no claim deadline because there is nothing to file. The official page says when payments go out and how long a check or digital payment stays valid once sent.

The deadline to opt out or object is November 13, 2026.

The court's fairness hearing is set for January 22, 2027; payments do not go out until the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved.

The FAQ says payments go out after the court approves the settlement at the January 22, 2027 hearing and after any appeals are finished, and that each payment expires 180 days after it is issued.

What proof is needed

No claim to file — payments are sent automatically.

The administrator pays consumers it has already identified, so the useful step is to make sure it can reach you, not to file anything. Anyone offering to file this for you, for a fee, is selling you nothing.

How to file for free

There is no claim form. The official program page, run by Simpluris, Inc. (EPOA Settlement SSCL), explains who is being paid and how to reach the administrator if a payment is expected and has not arrived.

Never give a Social Security number, bank login or card number to a site that is not the official administrator or agency page.
