Parents and guardians of youth who paid fees or had their wages or tax refund taken to pay detention fees for a youth housed in a Riverside County juvenile hall or juvenile treatment facility may be entitled to receive money as part of a class action lawsuit settlement.
Riverside County and the Enhanced Collection Division of the Superior Court have settled a lawsuit for fees collected between December 21, 2016, and April 21, 2020. Under the settlement, Riverside County has agreed to refund a portion of the fees that were collected.
Class members do not have to file a claim or take any other action to receive their share, but must notify the Settlement Administrator if they have an address change. The notices in the links below provide information about the lawsuit and settlement and about their rights.
