Alabama Ophthalmology - Data Breach
If you got a notice from Alabama Ophthalmology Associates after their January 2025 cyberattack, you're covered and need to file a claim by July 6, 2026 to receive any benefits. If you do nothing, you won't get a payment or monitoring benefits — and you'll still be bound by the settlement.
Payment amount set by the settlement administrator
The settlement offers cash payments and medical data monitoring to class members who file valid claims. The settlement website doesn't publish a specific dollar figure per person, so check the official notice or aoasettlement.com for the full details on available benefits.
📄 Proof requirement not specified here — check the official site for what documentation, if any, a claim needs.
