How hard is this claim to file?
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.

Common questions
Is the ACEN Data Breach settlement legitimate?
Yes — the ACEN Data Breach settlement is a real claims process that SettleSignal tracks from its official source. File only through the official settlement website (www.acensettlement.com); a genuine settlement administrator never charges a fee to file. SettleSignal last checked this record against the official source on June 15, 2026. Always confirm the current details on the official site before filing.
Who may qualify for this settlement?
Settlement class members are individuals who received a notice from ACEN around July 2023 that their personal identifiable information was involved in the Data Incident.
How much can I get from the ACEN Data Breach settlement?
Up to $1,500.00 per Settlement Class Member. The exact amount you may receive is decided by the settlement administrator based on your valid claim and is not guaranteed; a total settlement-fund figure is shared among all eligible claimants, not paid to each person.
Do I need proof to claim?
Proof requirement: Yes. The settlement administrator determines what documentation, if any, is required.
Where is the official ACEN Data Breach Settlement claim form?
The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.
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.
