ACEN Data Breach Settlement
If ACEN notified you around July 2023 that your personal info was exposed in a data breach, you can file a claim for reimbursement of real out-of-pocket costs. The claim deadline was August 7, 2025, so check the settlement site to confirm current status. You need to actively file — nothing happens automatically.
Up to $1,500.00 per Settlement Class Member
There are three types of reimbursement. First, ordinary out-of-pocket losses — things like bank fees, credit monitoring costs, and similar expenses tied to the breach — up to $1,500. Second, up to 4 hours of your time spent dealing with the fallout, at $25 per hour (max $100). Third, if you suffered actual identity theft or fraud as a result, you can claim those documented losses up to $5,000. You can also sign up for 2 years of free credit monitoring. Actual payment amounts may shift depending on how many valid claims are filed.

What you need
You'll need to submit a Valid Claim Form (available at acensettlement.com) signed under penalty of perjury. For out-of-pocket expense reimbursement, include receipts, statements, or other reasonable documentation showing the costs were tied to the breach. For time spent, a written description of what you did is required instead of receipts.
How to file this claim
- Go to the claim form login at https://www.acensettlement.com/acen-claim-form-login/
- Log in and complete the claim form, signing under penalty of perjury
- Choose what you're claiming: ordinary losses (up to $1,500), time spent (up to $100), extraordinary losses from actual identity theft (up to $5,000), and/or free 2-year credit monitoring
- Attach supporting documents for any out-of-pocket losses you're claiming (receipts, bank statements, etc.)
- Submit before the August 7, 2025 claim deadline
What the form asks
- — Description of how lost time was spent (Your own records of time you spent dealing with the data breach fallout)
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The claim deadline was August 7, 2025 — if you're reading this after that date, you've likely missed the window to file
- Losses must be 'fairly traceable to the Data Incident' — unrelated expenses won't qualify
- Ordinary and extraordinary losses both require documentation; time spent is the only category where a written description alone is enough
- The exclusion deadline was July 8, 2025 — if you wanted to opt out and sue on your own, that window has closed
- Final approval hearing was scheduled for August 13, 2025 — the settlement isn't final until the court approves it
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

How do I know if I'm included?
If ACEN mailed you a notice around July 2023 saying your personal information was involved in their data breach, you're in. If you're unsure, call the settlement administrator toll-free at 1-800-303-6174 or write to ACEN Data Breach Settlement, c/o Atticus Administration, PO Box 64053, Saint Paul, MN 55164.
What if I didn't lose any money — can I still claim anything?
Yes. Even without out-of-pocket losses, you can claim up to $100 for time you spent dealing with the breach (up to 4 hours at $25/hour), as long as you describe in writing what you did. You can also enroll in 2 years of free credit monitoring.
What documentation do I need?
For ordinary or extraordinary losses, you'll need receipts, bank statements, or similar documentation showing the expense and that it was tied to the breach. For time spent, you just need to write a description of what you did — no receipts required for that part.
What happens if I do nothing?
You stay in the class but get no money. You also give up the right to sue ACEN separately over this breach. If you want out entirely, you'd need to have opted out by July 8, 2025.
Is ACEN admitting they did something wrong?
No. ACEN denies any wrongdoing. The settlement is a negotiated resolution to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. The court hasn't ruled on whether ACEN broke any law.
