Did you know you might be owed money by SiriusXM, even if you’ve never subscribed to their satellite radio service? Yes, you read that right! A recent $28 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit against SiriusXM has opened the door for many to claim a portion of this fund, and you could be one of them. But here’s where it gets interesting: the lawsuit alleged that SiriusXM violated the National Do Not Call Registry by contacting individuals who had explicitly opted out of telemarketing calls. And this is the part most people miss—you don’t need to be a subscriber to qualify for compensation.
The case centered around SiriusXM’s alleged disregard for both the National Do Not Call Registry and its own internal “do not call” list. While the company denied any wrongdoing, they agreed to settle, setting aside $28 million to compensate those affected. Controversially, this raises questions about how companies respect consumer privacy and whether such settlements truly hold them accountable.
So, who’s eligible? You could qualify if you fall into one of two categories:
1. You received multiple solicitation calls from SiriusXM within a 12-month period between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025, more than 31 days after registering your number on the National Do-Not-Call Registry, and you were not a SiriusXM subscriber at the time of the first call or before the second call.
2. You requested to be placed on SiriusXM’s internal Do-Not-Call list but still received a solicitation call during the same period on the registered landline, wireless, or mobile number, regardless of your subscription status.
To claim your share, visit sxmtcpasettlement.com and file your claim by March 21, 2026. Not sure if you qualify? Reach out to the settlement administrator via the website, call 1-866-566-4210, or email Info@SXMTCPASettlement.com. While the exact payout per claimant isn’t clear, it’s worth noting that up to one-third of the $28 million will cover legal fees and administrative costs, with the remainder divided among eligible claimants based on the number of claims filed.
A final approval hearing is set for May 11, 2026, and payments will be issued afterward. In the meantime, remember that the National Do Not Call Registry (accessible at donotcall.gov) is a free resource for Americans to opt out of telemarketing calls. If you receive unwanted calls after registering, you can report violations to the Federal Trade Commission.
But here’s the bigger question: Does this settlement go far enough to deter companies from ignoring consumer privacy laws? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—do you think SiriusXM’s actions warrant stronger penalties, or is this settlement a fair resolution? Your perspective could spark an important conversation!
