Customers who owned or insured a structure in Arizona with Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Co. or its affiliates and received a payment for structural damage between April 25, 2017, and Oct. 1, 2026, may be eligible to claim a cash payment from a class action settlement .

Allstate agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it improperly deducted nonmaterial depreciation from certain property insurance claims in Arizona.

Who can file a claim?

Class members must meet all of the following criteria:

• They were insured under a property insurance policy issued by any of the following: Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Co., Allstate Insurance Co., Esurance Property and Casualty Insurance Co., Allstate Indemnity Co., Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Co., Encompass Insurance Co. of America, Encompass Property and Casualty Co., Encompass Indemnity Co. or North Light Specialty Insurance Co.
• They made a claim for structural damage to property located in Arizona during the class period, which is from April 25, 2017, through Oct. 1, 2026.
• Allstate issued a payment for their claim based on an Xactimate estimate.
• The payment they received included a deduction for nonmaterial depreciation from the actual cash value payment.

How much are settlement payments?

The settlement provides two main categories of payments:

• Class members who have not been paid all nonmaterial depreciation: These class members can submit a claim to receive 50% of the net estimated nonmaterial depreciation that the company withheld from the ACV payment and not subsequently paid plus simple interest at 10% per year from the date of the initial ACV payment through the effective date of the settlement.
• Class members who recovered all outstanding depreciation through the claim process: These class members can submit a claim to receive a one-time payment ranging from $10 to $360, depending on the amount of nonmaterial depreciation the company withheld.
