United Airlines Voluntary Separation Settlement
United Airlines Voluntary Separation Settlement
Accepting Submissions
This case is Hoffman v. United Airlines. It covers former frontline employees who retired between August 17, 2017, and December 31, 2020, and were shut out of the Frontline Voluntary Separation Program 2, the Frontline Voluntary Separation Program 3, or the Frontline Voluntary Separation Leave Program only because they retired before United offered them. United agreed to pay $27.5 million in one lump sum. That money gets divided among class members under a court-approved plan of allocation, so what you receive depends on which group you fall into.
You do not need to do anything to receive a payment. The deadline to object or to file a notice of intention to appear is August 12, 2026. The court holds its fairness hearing on September 1, 2026 and has not yet granted final approval.
Eligibility
You may be eligible for a payment if you are a former United Airlines frontline employee who retired between August 17, 2017, and December 31, 2020. You also have to have been ineligible for VSP2, VSP3, or VSL for the sole reason that you retired before United offered those programs. The administrator uses United's own records to find class members, so there is no claim form.

No claim form is required. If the court approves the settlement, the administrator pays class members automatically from United's records. The court has not granted final approval, and individual amounts depend on the plan of allocation the court approves.
