Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The opt-out and objection deadline was June 22, 2026 — if you wanted to exclude yourself from the settlement, that window has passed.
- Online filing requires the unique ID and PIN from your mailed notice; if you lost the notice, call (833) 386-6568 or email info@ColumbusRegionalSettlement.com before the deadline.
- Only claimants who file get the cash payment — the identity monitoring benefit is automatic, but the $25.50 cash requires an active claim.
- The final approval hearing is July 22, 2026; if the court does not approve the settlement, payments will not go out regardless of when you filed.
- Payments are only issued after final court approval and after the claim deadline passes — do not expect funds immediately.
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.
