C & F - class action lawsuit

Hi everyone, I am answering the following question on a Character and Fitness disclosure:
"Have you ever been a party to any noncriminal legal proceeding, such as a civil lawsuit, an arbitration, an administrative legal proceeding, or a family court or domestic abuse proceeding? Being a party to a legal proceeding means that you are one of the participants who has a legal interest in the outcome, such as if you sued or were sued by someone, and it includes having any type of order of protection issued against you. It does not include merely being a witness in a legal proceeding."

...I was part of a class action lawsuit, not because I elected to be, but because a former employer was taken to court regarding wages, and the employer ended up settling. I received a $600 payout as a result. Do I need to answer yes to this?
