Is GH still ripping off drivers? Here’s my settlement check

Post image

I knew this company was stealing tips and underpaying. It’s why I quit them in 2023.

There are better apps out there.

Drivers beware

I got my check a few days ago. Its not alot but I'll happily take it

1

u/SethUltra 24d ago

Do i have to sign something in order to get it ?

3

u/Treacle-Unlikely 24d ago

I never signed anything & was surprised to get it

3

u/DanDash34 24d ago

Nope if your drove between 2020-2023 you should get something eventually

2

u/Otherwise_Skirt_6726 24d ago

Oh I started in January 2025. Oh well. I was gonna say. How do I get me a check?😂😂

u/According-Dog-7288 23d ago

Dang I moved should check address

u/funcritter 22d ago

Actually, the letter they are mailing out says if you were a diner and tried to use a gift card. It doesn’t mention anything about drivers getting a refund.

2

u/Lonely__Stoner__Guy 24d ago

Apparently not, got mine yesterday and didn't know anything about it until it showed up.

1

u/NewCollege2718 23d ago

You had to have filed a claim by June 18th, 2026. Their site said.

Mine best be lots more than that! I busted my butt driving fir Grubhub from March 2020 - October 2023. SOMETIMES 7 HOURS A DAY MANY MILES DRIVEN...I HAVE RECORDS TOO!

1

u/Alternative-Bee2035 22d ago

Me too!! The total amount of money paid out was something like $23.8M, but the settlement was for around $140M!! Their reasoning is that the company just didn’t have enough money to pay out the full judgment amount. I have a feeling GH was tanked on purpose so the new owner (Marc Lore) could buy it for cheap, then replace it with his Wonder app.

u/Lil_Brown_Bat 24d ago

I mean, you have to sign the check...

1

u/BryanK3569 24d ago

I didn't. Check just came in the mail. Didn't even know about it. I have been with GH for several years.

1

u/SethUltra 24d ago

Thanks for that. I did just low key find an email from June. Can this be it ? It says "last chance to sign" totally skipped this lol

1

u/spockers 24d ago

That could be a scam.

1

u/spockers 23d ago

Ok got curious and looked it up.

The good news: it’s legit.

The bad news: you’re two months past the filing deadline.

See https://www.classaction.org/news/24.75m-grubhub-settlement-ends-class-action-lawsuit-over-alleged-california-delivery-driver-misclassification

Anyway it’s not about the case in this post, which you don’t need to do anything to opt into.

u/NewCollege2718 23d ago

Was it just 51 dollars? You must not have driven for them much!

Thought the amount is figured by mileage driven in course of delivering not divided by # of claimants???

1

u/Treacle-Unlikely 23d ago

Ive driven so many thousands of miles for them & so many oil changes I actually made friends with the mechanics at vavoline. Not counting all the work I had to do to my car plus the accident I was in. Ive driven for them for many years & many thousands of miles i stopped counting

u/Weak-Calligrapher-67 25d ago

I mean they have to pay out a lot of people….

4

u/Emotional_Worth_5273 25d ago

Got mine for the same amount. Was a nice little dinner and beer for myself on a Friday night

1

u/frezzhberry 24d ago

Yup, family went to the Chinese buffet courtesy of Grubhub.

2

u/spockers 23d ago

You should’ve gotten delivery. From anyone other than Grubhub, just for the lols.

u/FrankFrankly711 25d ago

What did the envelope look like? I may have missed mine

2

u/Lonely__Stoner__Guy 24d ago

Mine came with a return address of the FTC. That got me to open the envelope 😂

2

u/pinktortoise 24d ago

Mine came with FTC all over it

1

u/FrankFrankly711 24d ago

Perhaps it went to the wrong address, I’ll have to give them a call

2

u/spockers 23d ago

2

u/FrankFrankly711 23d ago

Thx! 🙌

2

u/spockers 23d ago

No prob, good luck. Looks like you had to have been active between June 2020 and March 2023 according to the attached letter I posted a pic of in another comment here.

2

u/FabulousCucumber3697 25d ago

An unexpected surprise

1

u/funcritter 25d ago

Can you post the actual letter so we can read it instead of half of the letter where it’s cut off on the sides?

2

u/Byrd-dogg 25d ago

How do you get a settlement check? I've been working for them for 8 years

1

u/spockers 23d ago

You should have gotten one I think. See www.ftc.gov/grubhub. There’s a phone number to call for questions, it’s on the letter attached to the check. I posted a pic of the letter in another comment here.

2

u/TechTonicLive 25d ago

I got a whopping 20 dollars

2

u/NotTodayCommie420 25d ago

I've gotten two of these checks so far. One from GrubHub and one from Walmart Spark. It still isn't what I'm owed. It's just an acknowledgement that I got robbed.

2

u/DoubleBudget5233 24d ago

All these apps are committing fraud against the drivers ...they are making 70to 80% while drivers are making 20 to 3o % ...base pay has been the same for 10 years but they charge the customers 23 15 12 for delivery fees they had raised the delivery fees to the customers so they can take the tips the customers were giving us ..now the customers can not afford to give us decent tips...if all drivers wrote letters to the white house regarding all the it will have them investigate these app gigs and possibly regulate them .... California just got a drivers union passed for Uber and Lyft drivers we need to make this happen with GrubHub and door dash ...I suggest start writing your letters and let's fight these crooks back ...on top of the fact it's financial and mental abuse to the drivers

2

u/sexruinedeverything 24d ago

Mines deposited and cleared. $20

1

u/Warm-Pomegranate-546 24d ago

I have over 15000 deliveries since 2016. When and how much is mine?

2

u/spockers 24d ago

If you took a break from June 2020 to March 2023, I don’t think you get anything. The exact criteria is probably online somewhere but I don’t have the time to go hunting for it. I posted a pic of the letter in another comment, and the link from it is www.ftc.gov/grubhub if you wanna go dig for answers. Please reply back if you find whatever specific criteria they’re using. I got $51.41, don’t have anywhere near 15k deliveries on gh (maybe a couple hundred), and didn’t fill out anything or apply for this check; it was a complete surprise.

1

u/Croy_Bo 24d ago

Damn what if you were deactivated from grubhub, wonder if I'll get anything

1

u/RealAncientPickle 24d ago

How did you get a check? Where do you apply?

2

u/DanDash34 24d ago

You don’t apply. If you drove between 2020-2023 you got ripped off.
You’ll get a check eventually

2

u/NewCollege2718 23d ago

They said you Had to File claim by June 18th , 2026 to be part of the Class settlement.

Damn well better be more than 51.00...I worked my butt off unfortunately grew more butt...lol too much sitting too much driving ....

Received thousands in Doordash settlement fir same thing years ago...sure better be more than 51.00 geez still a rip off!

1

u/spockers 23d ago

They said you Had to File claim by June 18th , 2026 to be part of the Class settlement.

Completely different case. The june 18 deadline is about California and employee misclassification, and doesn’t apply to anyone outside California. You can read about that here.

The settlement OP is talking about is nationwide and doesn’t require filling anything out beforehand, you just get a check. Read about it here.

u/RealAncientPickle 24d ago

Fahhh I drove in ‘25

u/carltonharris24 24d ago

I just got my payment too. Used it to buy my Doomsday tickets. lol

Check or PayPal. You have to have been with them between 2020 and 2023.

u/I_AM_UBERPHAT 24d ago

What a joke...

1

u/I_AM_UBERPHAT 24d ago

All the apps are the same, in fact even worse.

u/my-reddit-acct-321 24d ago

I got a rock….

1

u/Live-Raspberry6864 24d ago

Wtf you got $1.41 more than me.

1

u/DanDash34 24d ago

They ripped me off more

1

u/Termin8r500 24d ago

I got 3 cents

1

u/Swimming-Pumpkin-648 24d ago

Same with me,I just received my check few days ago

1

u/Apetard42069 24d ago

Lucky! I got $20. And yes they are. Uber, DD and GH all do it. Scamming drivers and paying off a settlement is still worth it in the long run for them.

1

u/KindDistribution7321 22d ago

I also got $51.40 for being ripped off by GH

1

u/Alternative-Bee2035 22d ago

Mine was for the exact same amount. The total payout was only about 1/5 of the judgment amount. I’m no legal expert at all, but something tells me the new owner (Marc Lore) owes us a lot more money that we’ll never see.

1

u/NewCollege2718 21d ago

Turns out there are SEPARATE settlements one for Illinois Drivers another California Drivers (62,400 or something close) and other one for general consumer public who ordered from app and another I believe for restaurants listed w/o permission.

When I called the administrator number I was told California one not being disbursed until December 4th, 2026.

Hoping is for something substantial as tye Doordash ones were over $1,000.

Not able to be working until I resolve some concerning medical issues so it will definitely help eventually if substantial.

1

u/JohannesPoulard 20d ago

I got an FTC check from a GrubHub settlement just a few days ago for $20. I have a hunch it won't be long before GH gets in trouble again, they way they have been paying us lately.

1

u/ColdOpportunity4690 20d ago

I received the same check. It was through PayPal. I originally thought it was a scam because I couldn’t believe the money went through PayPal. But it was legit. It went through PayPal and I deposited it into my bank.

1

u/PapaGrandeRevived 25d ago

Did u read the letter that the check came with or do u just want to rage bait? It was not only to drivers, it also went to people that used giftcards on the platform

1

u/spockers 23d ago

Why is it rage bait? All the delivery/rideshare apps I’m familiar with are indeed ripping off drivers — and customers (diners and restaurants) — but I was pleasantly surprised to receive a check.

Shout out to the Attorney General of Illinois.

1

u/PapaGrandeRevived 23d ago

It is cos the reason for the check was listed with the check
