The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Circle Stores as well as Mac’s Convenience Stores, LLC (collectively referred to as “Circle K”) have entered into a settlement agreement, which provides a fund for payment to individuals who may have had a medical condition and/or were pregnant during their employment with Circle K. The settlement does not constitute an admission by Circle K of any wrongdoing, and Circle K denies that it engaged in any such conduct or unlawful action.

If you received a notice, it is because company records indicate you may be eligible to receive a payment.

If you are a current or former employee of Circle K who sought a reasonable accommodation such as leave for a disability and/or pregnancy, and were terminated at some period between July 10, 2009, and September 26, 2022, you may be eligible to receive a payment in the settlement.

In order to receive a payment, you must have submitted a completed claim form/questionnaire by February 26, 2023. Then if you were deemed to be an “Eligible Claimant” you needed to complete, sign, and submit your Release of Claims, and W-9 forms to the Settlement Administrator, either online or by mail postmarked no later than April 18, 2024. The deadlines to submit questionnaires, Release of Claims, and W-9 forms have now passed.

The EEOC has now completed its review of all form submissions. At the direction of the EEOC, payments to Eligible Claimants were mailed from Seattle, WA, on September 13, 2024, via Certified Mail. If no one is available to receive this mailing, the postal worker will leave a note that a delivery attempt was made. USPS will make one delivery attempt. After that, the carrier will return this mailing to the nearest post office for collection.

Notices of Eligibility to Receive Payment also included a necessary tax form, and a Release of Claims form, which needed to be submitted to the Settlement Administrator no later than April 18, 2024. If forms were missing information Claimants were given an opportunity to fix those issues and resubmit their forms.

Under the terms of the Settlement, the EEOC is responsible for determining awards to eligible claimants. The amount of an eligible claimant's award will be based off of objective criteria set by the EEOC, and will also depend on how many eligible claims are submitted. Eligibility Notices, with benefit estimates were sent out to Eligible Claimants on January 19, 2024. Please be sure to keep your address up-to-date with us so that you receive all future mailings. 

If you believe that you meet the eligibility criteria and did not receive a notice, please contact the Settlement Administrator by calling the toll-free number at 1-844-633-0691, or by email at info@EEOC-ADA-PDA-Settlement.com, to verify if a notice was sent to a different address.
