It depends on the settlement agreement, but they don't typically go back to the defendant. In this case, I found one source without looking up the actual agreement https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2019/07/26/what-happens-to-unclaimed-benefits-from-equifax-settlement https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2019/07/26/what-happe... >Any funds unclaimed after 4-year extension will be distributed in services >Services offered are for identity restoration, credit monitoring And those services are from...

Like I said, I don't like the settlement itself, but lawyers get a lot of hate for class actions from people who seemingly don't appreciate the risk they take in taking in the case.
