How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- — The unique ID printed on the settlement notice letter mailed to you by BMS Cat. (Your mailed notice letter from BMS Cat about the February 2025 data breach.)
- — The PIN printed on the settlement notice letter mailed to you by BMS Cat. (Your mailed notice letter from BMS Cat about the February 2025 data breach.)
- — Choose one: (A) Documented Losses up to the stated cap, (B) Alternative Cash Payment with no documentation, and/or Credit Monitoring. (Your own preference based on whether you have supporting documentation for out-of-pocket losses.)
- — Receipts, invoices, bank or credit card statements showing unreimbursed fees or fraudulent charges, and other proof of fraud or identity theft. (Your personal financial records, bank statements, credit card statements, and any receipts for costs incurred due to the breach.)
- — Select PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or paper check (note: paper check is the only option if mailing your claim). (Your own preference; enter the account details for whichever method you choose.)
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- Online filing requires the unique ID and PIN from your mailed notice — you cannot file online without it.
- If mailing your claim form, the envelope must be postmarked by the claim deadline, not merely sent beforehand.
- Documented losses must have occurred within the qualifying date range and be traceable to the data breach — general expenses will not qualify.
- The alternative cash payment amount is an estimate and may be higher or lower depending on how many claims are filed.
- Opting out or objecting has an earlier deadline than the claim deadline — missing that earlier deadline closes those options.
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.
