How do drivers qualify for payment from Lyft settlement?

Payments to Class Members who submit valid claims (see Question 9) will be made Case 3:13-cv-04065-VC Document 169-1 Filed 01/26/16 Page 58 of 100 5 1009680 based on each such Class Member’s share of the “Net Settlement Fund.” A Class Member’s share will be determined by the number of “Points” awarded to the Class Member. The settlement awards Points based on Lyft’s records as to the number of Rides a Class Member gave and/or the amount of time a Class Member spent in “Ride Mode.” These Points do not have a value fixed at any particular dollar amount; they vary depending on how many people make a claim for a share of the settlement. For the purposes of calculating points, the settlement defines a Ride as beginning when a driver uses the Lyft smartphone application to accept a transportation request from a passenger and ending when a driver selects the “drop off” option in the Lyft smartphone application. The settlement defines Ride Mode as the period between the beginning and end of a Ride. Points will be awarded as follows: • For each Ride given in the period from May 25, 2012 through September 30, 2012, a Class Member will receive two hundred twenty seven (227) Points. • For each sixty-minute period in Ride Mode for the period from October 1, 2012 through [Preliminary Approval Date], a Class Member will receive six hundred (600) Points. • For each sixty-minute period in Ride Mode for the period from January 14, 2013 through December 23, 2013, a Class Member will receive an additional one hundred twenty (120) Points. • For each Class Member who spent thirty (30) or more hours per week in Ride Mode in fifty (50) percent or more of the weeks in the period from May 25, 2012 through [Preliminary Approval Date] in which he or she gave at least one Ride, the points calculated above will be multiplied by 1.5, so that the Class Member receives fifty (50) percent more Points than would otherwise be awarded.

After Points are awarded to all Class Members submitting valid claims, the Net Settlement Fund will be divided among those Class Members in proportion to each Class Member’s Points. The exact amount each such Class Member will receive cannot be calculated until (1) the Court approves the settlement; (2) amounts are deducted from the settlement fund for the costs of providing notice to the Class, administering the settlement, paying lawyers’ fees and expenses, and making enhancement payments approved by the Court; and (3) the Settlement Administrator determines the number of Class Members who excluded themselves, submitted valid claims, and after payments are made, successfully received their payment.
