Verizon is proposing a $100 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging the company charged customers unfair and undisclosed administrative fees. Eligible customers have been notified to file a claim by April 15 to potentially receive up to $100. The lawsuit claims the fees were misleading and not included in the advertised monthly price. Verizon denies the allegations but has provided a website for claims, with payouts starting at $15. The settlement awaits a final "fairness hearing" in March.
