Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- Online claims require the login ID and PIN printed in the individual notice letter BVCHC mailed you — you cannot file online without it.
- Self-created notes alone are insufficient to support expense claims; you need receipts or personal documentation showing expenses were caused by the Data Incident.
- Extraordinary expense claims require proof that you attempted to recover losses through other means (such as insurance) before claiming from this settlement.
- The settlement has not yet received final court approval; payments will only be issued after the court grants final approval.
