The Sprouts Farmers Market FACTA receipt claim window closed on August 5, 2026, and as of September 9, 2026 the settlement is awaiting the court's final approval decision at a hearing set for November 19, 2026. This is not a data breach. It is a receipt-printing case: two consolidated lawsuits accuse Sprouts of printing more than the last five digits of customers' payment card numbers on printed store receipts, which is a violation of a federal law called FACTA.

A $5,000,000 non-reversionary cash fund is set aside to pay class members who file a valid claim. "Non-reversionary" means none of that money reverts to Sprouts; it all gets paid out to the class and to court-approved fees and costs. What any one person actually receives depends on how many people file, not on the size of the fund alone.

What Sprouts is accused of doing

Federal law, specifically the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), requires businesses to truncate payment card information on electronically printed receipts. A merchant is allowed to print no more than the last five digits of a credit or debit card number, and the expiration date cannot appear at all.

Two lawsuits, later consolidated, accused Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and SFM, LLC of not doing that. Larry Tran v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (case number 22STCV26572) and Robert Cohen v. Sprouts (23STCV08339) were both filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, and were later consolidated into a single case. The claims center on printed receipts that showed more than the truncated last five digits of a customer's card number.

Where the case stands right now, as of July 2026

This case has taken an unusually long road to a claims window. Filed back in 2022 and later consolidated, it went up to California's Court of Appeal, which remanded it back down specifically so the settlement-approval process could move forward. That detour is part of why a 2022 case only reached an open claims period in 2026.

Three dates have already passed. The deadline to exclude yourself from the class, meaning to opt out and keep your own separate right to sue Sprouts, was April 7, 2026, and the objection deadline was that same date. The claim deadline, August 5, 2026, has also passed.

The claim deadline itself, August 5, 2026, has now closed. Unusually, the final approval hearing, where a judge decides whether to sign off on the settlement, is not until November 19, 2026, months after the claim deadline. Claims were collected before final court approval, and the record does not state an expected payout date, so there is no confirmed timeline yet for when money would reach class members.

Who's in the class

The class definition has two branches, one for card payments and one for EBT (electronic benefit transfer) payments, each with its own date range. You may be eligible if either of the following describes you:

You used a personal credit or debit card to make a purchase at any Sprouts Farmers Market store between August 16, 2020 and October 31, 2022, and the printed receipt you received showed more than the last five digits of your card number.

Or, you used an EBT card at a Sprouts store between March 15, 2021 and April 15, 2023, and the printed receipt showed more than the last five digits of your card number.

Simply having shopped at Sprouts during those years is not, on its own, enough. The claim turns on what your specific printed receipt showed. If you no longer have old receipts from that period, that does not necessarily rule you out. It depends on which claim path applies to you, covered below.

How much you might actually get

The settlement record does not state a fixed dollar figure per class member, and there is no stated maximum payout to point to here. What is confirmed is the structure: eligible class members who file a valid claim split a $5,000,000 non-reversionary cash fund on a pro-rata basis.

Your share depends on how many other people file valid claims and what the court approves in attorneys' fees and administrative costs, both of which come out of that same fund before it is divided. Treat $5,000,000 as the size of the pool, not as a number tied to any one person's check; a pro-rata fund like this one typically pays less per claimant than an even split of the headline figure would suggest.

What proof you need, and the one path that isn't automatic

This is easy to get wrong, because it is not the same for every class member. Sprouts and the administrator already sent written notice by email to some class members, and those notices carry a unique Notice Number. If your Notice Number begins with the letter "P," you can file a Short-Form Claim Form, signed under penalty of perjury, with no supporting documentation required.

If you did not receive that direct written notice, or your Notice Number does not begin with "P," a different claim path applies to you, and the verified record does not spell out exactly what that path requires. Do not assume it was automatically proof-free just because the Short-Form path was; the official settlement site still describes which path applied to which class members.

How filing works

Filing was handled entirely by Atticus Administration LLC, the court-appointed settlement administrator, through the official settlement site; that link renders separately on this page and is still where to check the status of a claim already filed. The claim deadline was August 5, 2026, and it has passed; under the notice terms a claim was timely if it was submitted online or postmarked by that date.

If you filed with a Notice Number starting with "P" from an email Sprouts or the administrator sent you, keep that number on hand; the administrator uses it to identify your claim. If you believe you are a class member but never filed, the claim window has closed and the official site is the only place to confirm where the case stands.

If you're not sure where you stand

The class definition depends on what your specific receipt printed, not just on having shopped at Sprouts. If you kept a printed Sprouts receipt from the covered years, check it now against the last-five-digits rule described above.

If you opted out by the April 7, 2026 deadline, you are outside the class; opting out and filing a claim were mutually exclusive. If you did nothing by that date, you remain in the class, but the August 5, 2026 claim deadline has passed, so no new claim can be filed.
