Rivian Washington Job Posting Settlement, Did You Apply for a Job? Here Is How to Claim Your Share Before June 22

The Rivian Washington job posting settlement is a class action agreement where eligible job applicants can receive an equal cash share of a fund ranging from $997,193.20 to $1,497,600.00, depending on how many class members file claims, by submitting a claim before June 22, 2026. The lawsuit accused Rivian of posting open positions in Washington state without disclosing wage and benefits information as required by state law. Rivian denies any wrongdoing, and the settlement is pending final court approval.

What Is the Rivian Lawsuit About? Jeffrey Hill v. Rivian, LLC, et al., Case No. 25-2-21452-4 SEA

Plaintiff Jeffrey Hill filed this class action in King County Superior Court alleging that Rivian violated Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (EPOA), RCW 49.58.110, by publishing job postings for open positions in Washington that failed to disclose wage scale or salary range and benefits information. Washington’s EPOA has required employers to include this information in all job postings since January 1, 2023. The law exists specifically so that workers — especially women and people of color who have historically been underpaid — can evaluate a job offer against their own market value before investing time in the application process.

Hill alleged that job seekers who applied to Rivian positions in Washington were denied the information they were legally entitled to see. They could not compare the offered pay to their own expectations or to other opportunities. For workers who went through interviews, took time off, arranged childcare, or turned down other offers during the process, that omission had real costs. Washington courts have increasingly recognized that wage transparency violations cause concrete harm to job applicants — not just an abstract statutory injury. Rivian disputes the claims entirely and maintains it did not violate any law.

This case follows a broader enforcement trend in Washington. Other major employers have faced identical lawsuits under the same statute for the same conduct. If you applied for a job at Rivian and this situation sounds familiar, you should also read our coverage of the Mejuri $950K Washington EPOA Settlement at AllAboutLawyer.com, which resolved the same type of claims under the same law.

Who Qualifies for the Rivian Washington Job Posting Settlement?

Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act created a specific, clear class here. Rivian’s own employment records identify who applied during the class period, which means the settlement administrator already has your name if you qualify. That makes eligibility straightforward.

You may qualify if:

• You applied for a job opening in Washington with Rivian, LLC, Rivian Insurance Services, LLC, or Rivian Automotive, LLC at any point between January 1, 2023, and March 25, 2026
• The job posting you applied to did not include the required wage scale, salary range, or benefits information
• You received a personalized Notice in the mail containing a Notice ID and PIN from Simpluris, Inc. (this means Rivian’s records already confirm your eligibility)
• You are still living — the settlement class covers living persons only

You do NOT qualify if:

• You applied to a Rivian job posting outside of Washington state
• Your application was submitted before January 1, 2023 (the date the EPOA wage transparency requirement took effect)
• You submitted your application after March 25, 2026 (the date the court preliminarily approved this settlement)
• You are an officer, director, or agent of any Rivian entity named as a defendant

One practical note: the payout you receive is an equal share — everyone in the class gets the same amount from the net fund. Your personalized claim form already shows your estimated payment. The more people who file, the lower the per-person share; the fewer who file, the higher it goes. You do not gain more by documenting losses or submitting extra paperwork. Just file the form. Washington has seen similar wage transparency settlements resolve with per-person payments ranging from $50 to several hundred dollars, depending on class size and claims rate. Our coverage of the Target Washington EPOA settlement at AllAboutLawyer.com provides a useful comparison for how these cases typically play out.

How Much Can You Get from the Rivian Settlement?

The settlement fund has a variable structure that is unlike most data breach or consumer fraud settlements. Here is exactly how it works.

The total settlement fund ranges from a minimum of $997,193.20 to a maximum of $1,497,600.00. The final amount depends on how many class members submit valid claims. This is actually an unusual structure that benefits claimants: the more people who file, the more money Rivian contributes to the fund, up to the $1,497,600.00 cap.

Your individual share is an equal portion of whatever remains after the following are deducted from the fund: attorneys’ fees of up to $441,792.00, litigation costs and expenses of up to $5,000.00, and a $25,000.00 service award to plaintiff Jeffrey Hill. Simpluris’s administration costs are also deducted before the net fund is split equally among valid claimants.

Your estimated payment is printed on your personalized claim form. That number is based on the number of identified class members and the projected claims rate. If fewer people file than expected, your actual payment may be higher than the estimate. If more people file, it may be lower. Settlement payments are classified as non-wage damages and will be reported on a 1099 form — not a W-2. Talk to a tax professional about how to report this payment, as it may be treated as taxable income.

There is no tier for documented losses in this case. There is no separate credit monitoring. There is no out-of-pocket reimbursement option. Everyone who files gets an equal share. The process is as simple as a legal settlement payout gets.

Step-by-Step: How to File Your Rivian EPOA Settlement Claim Form

Frequently Asked Questions About the Rivian Job Posting Settlement

Do I need a lawyer to file a claim? 

No. You file directly at epoasettlementrllc.com using your Notice ID and PIN. Class Counsel — Emery Reddy, PC — already represents the entire class at no cost to you. The online process takes about five minutes. If you have unusual circumstances or want to pursue an individual employment discrimination attorney claim instead, that is a separate decision — but for this settlement, no personal attorney is needed.

Is this settlement legitimate?

 Yes. Jeffrey Hill v. Rivian, LLC, et al., Case No. 25-2-21452-4 SEA is a real case pending in King County Superior Court, Washington. Judge Jason Holloway preliminarily approved the settlement on March 25, 2026. Simpluris, Inc. is the court-appointed administrator. The official website at epoasettlementrllc.com is the only authorized claim portal.

When will I receive my payment? 

The Final Approval Hearing is July 24, 2026. If the court grants approval and no appeals follow, Simpluris will mail checks to all approved claimants after the appeals period closes. Realistically, expect payment in late 2026 or early 2027. The exact date is TBD — pending final court approval and any post-hearing appeals. Cash your check quickly — it becomes void 180 days after issuance.

What if I missed the claim deadline?

 The deadline is June 22, 2026. If you miss it, you receive no payment. You will still remain in the settlement class and still release your claims against Rivian — meaning you cannot sue Rivian separately over these job posting issues. If there is any possibility you qualify, file now. The form takes five minutes.

Will this settlement payment affect my taxes? 

Yes, it may. Rivian’s settlement payments are classified as non-wage damages and will be reported to you on a 1099 form — not a W-2. This means the IRS will receive a copy. Whether the payment is taxable in your specific situation depends on your overall tax picture. Consult a tax professional before filing your return for the year you receive the payment.

Will filing a claim hurt my chances of getting a job at Rivian?

 No. The settlement agreement explicitly prohibits Rivian from retaliating against any class member for participating in, objecting to, or opting out of the settlement. Your decision will not affect any future job application with Rivian or any treatment you receive as a current or former Rivian employee.

I applied to multiple Rivian positions in Washington during the class period. Do I get a larger payment? 

No. Every class member receives one equal share of the net settlement fund, regardless of how many positions they applied to or how many non-compliant postings they encountered. This is a flat equal-share structure.
