What you'll need to file

From our inspection of the official claim form:

  • Filing method Online or mail-in
  • Notice ID Unknown

How hard is this claim to file?

Bell Ambulance got hit by a cyberattack in February 2025 and your personal and medical information may have been exposed. If you got a notice, you can file for cash: up to $5,000 if you have receipts for real losses, or around $90 with no documentation required. Either way you also get two years of medical identity monitoring. File by June 29, 2026. This claim form asks for 2 fields.

What the form asks

  • Class Member Login Credentials — Your Login ID and PIN exactly as they appear on the notice you received. (Your mailed notice from Bell Ambulance or Simpluris. Misplaced it? The lookup link at https://cw.simpluris.com/docs/public/downloads/BWC1/LOGIN can help.)
  • Cash Payment Option — Choose one: documented losses (up to $5,000) or the alternate cash payment (approximately $90). (The FAQs at https://belldataincidentsettlement.com/faq/ explain what counts as a documented loss and what you'd need to show.)

Watch out for

  • The opt-out and objection deadline was June 15, 2026. If you didn't opt out, you're automatically in the settlement and can still file a claim.
  • The approximately $90 alternate cash figure is an estimate. The final amount depends on how many valid claims get filed — it could be higher or lower.
  • The $2 million settlement pool is shared across all valid claimants, so individual documented-loss payments may also be affected by total claim volume.
  • Payments won't go out until after the Final Approval Hearing on July 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Expect a wait after you file.

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 Bell Ambulance data breach settlement legitimate?

Yes — the Bell Ambulance data breach settlement is a real claims process that SettleSignal tracks from its official source. It is administered by Simpluris under case 2025CV002444 in Circuit Court for Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. File only through the official settlement website (belldataincidentsettlement.com); a genuine settlement administrator never charges a fee to file. SettleSignal last checked this record against the official source on June 21, 2026. Always confirm the current details on the official site before filing.

Who may qualify for this settlement?

All living individuals residing in the United States whose private information was accessed during the targeted cyberattack on Bell Ambulance's computer systems in February 2025. Excludes company directors/officers (except employees), the judge, court staff, and those who opt out.

How much can I get from the Bell Ambulance data breach settlement?

$2 million settlement pool. Cash payment options: up to $5,000 for documented losses (requires receipts), or approximately $90 one-time payment for those without documented losses. Plus two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete with $1 million identity theft insurance. 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.

What is the claim deadline?

The claim deadline is June 29, 2026. Confirm the current deadline on the official settlement source before filing.

Do I need proof to claim?

Proof requirement: Optional. The settlement administrator determines what documentation, if any, is required.

Where is the official Bell Ambulance data breach claim form?

The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, Simpluris. 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 you received a notice from Bell Ambulance or from the settlement administrator Simpluris in April 2026, you're listed as a class member. You can also call the settlement administrator at (844) 804-2567 to check.

What information was exposed?

Files accessed during the breach may have contained full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, financial information, medical treatment and diagnosis details, medical record numbers, health insurance information, and other protected health information.

Do I need proof to file?

Not necessarily. Without documentation, you can still get the approximate $90 payment. If you have receipts showing real out-of-pocket losses from the breach — like fraud charges or credit monitoring costs you paid — you can file for up to $5,000.

What's the deadline and what happens if I miss it?

The claim deadline is June 29, 2026. If you miss it, you won't receive any cash or credit monitoring benefits, even though you'll still be bound by the settlement's release of claims.

Can I opt out or object?

The opt-out and objection deadlines were June 15, 2026. If you didn't opt out by then, you're automatically part of the settlement and your legal claims against Bell Ambulance related to this breach are resolved when the settlement is finalized.

Where to act

When you are ready, you open the official claim form yourself. SettleSignal does not file claims or determine eligibility.

You'll need the Claim ID from your notice

The official claim form asks for the Claim ID (or Notice ID) the settlement mailed or emailed to the people it identified. Didn't get one? Here's how to get it:

  1. Check your email (including spam) and any mail from around when the settlement was announced — the Claim ID is usually printed right on the notice.
  2. Still can't find it? Contact the settlement administrator (Simpluris), tell them you believe you're a class member (for example, a customer or patient in the covered period), and ask them to look you up and send your Claim ID.
