AG James urged rideshare drivers who believe they were underpaid by Uber and Lyft to file claims on or before January 31, 2025 to receive the funds they are due under settlements reached by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). In November 2023, Attorney General James secured $328 million in back payments for drivers after an OAG investigation found that Uber and Lyft withheld funds from drivers and failed to provide valuable benefits. Now, Attorney General James has extended the deadline to file claims for those settlement funds to January 31, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. and is urging all rideshare drivers to check their eligibility and submit a claim online before the deadline.
“Rideshare drivers help keep New York moving and deserve full and fair compensation for their hard work. I am proud to have secured this landmark settlement with Uber and Lyft and to be returning these funds to the drivers that rightfully earned them. I urge any Uber or Lyft driver who believes they may be eligible to file a claim now to get their money back before the deadline on January 31, 2025. My office will always fight to ensure workers in New York receive the treatment, benefits, and wages they are due.” -AG James
