The court’s exact words
(a) all persons who financed the purchase of a motor vehicle for consumer use through Hughes, or who financed the purchase of such vehicle through another entity but such finance agreement was thereafter assigned to HFCU; (b) whose vehicle was pledged as collateral under the finance agreement; (c) from whom HFCU, as secured party, repossessed the vehicle or ordered it repossessed; (d) who had an Arizona address as of the date of repossession; (e) in the period commencing May 18, 2019 through August 4, 2023.
Quoted from the official notice. Read the notice for the full definition.
Our notes: People who opt out are not in the settlement. Cash goes to class members whose notice was not returned as undeliverable. Deficiency relief does not cover some excluded claims, including where a class member reinstated the loan and got the repossessed vehicle back before auction.
You may be included if you had an Arizona address when Hughes FCU had your financed vehicle repossessed, May 18, 2019 to Aug. 4, 2023.
You are not included if you opted out of the settlement.

Questions
I already filed. What now?
There is no claim form, so there was nothing to file. The administrator pays class members automatically, usually after final approval and any appeals. Never pay anyone to check on a payment.
Opting out
To leave the settlement and keep your right to sue on your own, follow the official notice by Nov 20, 2026. If you opt out, you get no payment. Opting out and objecting have separate rules; we cannot tell you which is right for you.
