What the Settlement Covers
Nationwide agreed to a $1.4 million class settlement to resolve claims that it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by placing prerecorded “robocall” voice messages about pet-insurance renewals to people’s cell phones without the consent the TCPA requires. The case, brought by plaintiff Tara Blizzard, settled without any admission of wrongdoing.
The TCPA restricts prerecorded and autodialed calls to cell phones without prior express consent, which is the legal basis for this kind of settlement.
Who Is Eligible and How Much
The settlement class covers people in the United States who, from January 2, 2021 through October 22, 2025, received one or more prerecorded voice calls on a cell phone about the renewal or expiration of a Nationwide pet-insurance policy. Class members who submit a valid claim are eligible for a cash payment of up to $17.50; the exact amount depends on how many people claim.
The court granted preliminary approval on October 22, 2025. The final-approval hearing is set for February 24, 2026.
How to Claim Safely
Claims must be submitted or postmarked by March 11, 2026. The only safe place to file is the official court-approved settlement administrator’s website named in the settlement notice — not a third-party site that asks for extra personal or payment details. A legitimate TCPA claim generally needs only basic contact information to match you to the call records.
