Rideshare drivers encouraged to file claims after Uber, Lyft settlement

Rideshare drivers who believe they were underpaid by Uber and Lyft are encouraged to file their claims before the end of the month.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James said you must file your claims on or before Jan. 31, an extension of the previous deadline.
This is for drivers to receive the funds they are due under settlements reached by the Attorney General’s Office.

“Rideshare drivers help keep New York moving and deserve full and fair compensation for their hard work,” Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

James secured $328 million in 2023 in back payments for drivers after their investigation found Uber and Lyft were withholding funds from drivers, and they failed to provide valuable benefits.
