Frequently Asked Questions

 

Expand/Collapse All
  • 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 needed to submit a claim form (questionnaire) online or by mail, postmarked no later than February 26, 2023. This deadline has now passed. 

    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 claim form questionnaires, Release of Claims, and W-9 forms have now passed.

    Currently the Administrator is reaching out to claimants that submitted incomplete or otherwise deficient documentation. Only after the deadline for claimants to fix incomplete or otherwise deficient documentation and at the direction of the EEOC are we able to disburse payments to the eligible claimants. As such, payments are expected to be mailed in late summer or early fall of 2024. We appreciate your patience.

  • 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.
