Ciuni & Panichi Data Breach Settlement

If Ciuni & Panichi mailed you a notice saying your personal information was exposed in their November 2024 data breach, you need to file a claim by August 18, 2026 to get paid. There's no automatic payment — you have to submit the form yourself.

23 days left · Aug 18 $125

If you received notice from Ciuni & Panichi, Inc. indicating that your Personal Information may have been compromised in the November 2024 Data Incident, you may be a Class Member. Exclusions include timely opt-outs, the judge and court staff assigned to the settlement, Defendant’s officers and directors, and persons found guilty of initiating or aiding the Data Incident. Payout: Class Members may claim a pro rata cash payment of approximately $125.00, adjusted up or down depending on the Net Settlement Fund and claims. Class Members may also claim reimbursement of documented out-of-pocket losses or expenses up to $5,000.00 per Class Member. Proof of purchase is optional. Claim deadline: August 18, 2026. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 28, 2026.

Pending final court approval: you can file a claim now, but payments begin only after the court grants final approval (and any appeals conclude). Final approval is not guaranteed.

How hard is this claim to file?

Ciuni & Panichi's database was hit in November 2024, leaking names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth. If you got a notice about the breach, you can claim a roughly $125 cash payment, up to $5,000 back for documented out-of-pocket costs, or both. File by August 18, 2026. This claim form asks for 2 fields and 2 documents.

What the form asks

  • Login ID — The Login ID printed on the notice mailed to you by Ciuni & Panichi. (On the mailed notice from Ciuni & Panichi.)
  • Pro Rata Cash Payment election — Select this option to claim the roughly $125 cash payment. No documented losses are needed to qualify. (On the claim form itself.)

Documents you'll need

  • Notice letter from Ciuni & Panichi (contains Login ID and PIN) (required)
  • Bank statements, receipts, or invoices for documented out-of-pocket losses

Watch out for

  • The $125 cash payment is an estimate. It goes up or down based on how many people file and what's left in the fund after fees.
  • You can stack the cash payment and the documented loss reimbursement in one claim.
  • If documented loss claims in total run high, each payout in that category may be reduced to keep them within the allowed share of the fund.
  • The court still needs to approve the settlement. No payments go out until after the Final Approval Hearing on September 23, 2026.
  • The opt-out and objection deadline is July 20, 2026, nearly a month before the claim deadline.

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.

Where to act

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.
