Key facts
- Who may qualify You are covered if you are a living person in the United States whose private information was potentially accessed in that incident. A notice with a Notice ID is your sign. Directors, officers and agents of the defendant, governmental entities, and the judge and court staff are excluded.
- Estimated payoutUp to $2,500.00 per claimant for documented out-of-pocket losses, or an alternative one-time cash payment of $50.00; plus one year of three-bureau credit monitoring including at least $1,000,000.00 in theft protection insurance. An Aggregate Cap of $850,000.00 covers all payments, so cash is reduced pro rata if claims exceed it.
- Claim deadlineOctober 22, 2026 (closed)
- Proof requiredOptional
- What you needYou must file — nothing is automatic. Documented losses need receipts, statements, invoices or phone records; self-prepared notes are not enough on their own. The $50.00 option and the credit monitoring need no loss documentation.
