Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- Claim deadline is June 29, 2026 — missing it means no payment.
- The final fairness hearing is June 23, 2026, before the claim deadline, so the settlement could still be rejected by the court.
- If you want to opt out or object, those deadlines already passed (May 29, 2026).
- The $50 flat payment requires no docs, but the higher tiers require proof of actual losses — gather those before you file.
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.

Common questions
Is the EMS LINQ data breach settlement legitimate?
Yes — the EMS LINQ data breach settlement is a real claims process that SettleSignal tracks from its official source. It is administered by Simpluris. File only through the official settlement website (www.linqdataincident.com); a genuine settlement administrator never charges a fee to file. SettleSignal last checked this record against the official source on June 17, 2026. Always confirm the current details on the official site before filing.
Who may qualify for this settlement?
Individuals whose Personal Information was potentially accessed, viewed, and/or obtained during the unauthorized access to LINQ's systems between September 12, 2023, and May 13, 2024.
How much can I get from the EMS LINQ data breach settlement?
Up to $500 for documented ordinary losses, up to $2,500 for documented extraordinary losses, or a $50 flat cash payment; plus one year of three-bureau credit monitoring. The exact amount you may receive is decided by the settlement administrator based on your valid claim and is not guaranteed; a total settlement-fund figure is shared among all eligible claimants, not paid to each person.
What is the claim deadline?
The claim deadline is June 29, 2026. Confirm the current deadline on the official settlement source before filing.
Do I need proof to claim?
Proof requirement: Optional. The settlement administrator determines what documentation, if any, is required.
Where is the official EMS LINQ data breach claim form?
The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, Simpluris. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.
How do I know if I'm included?
If LINQ had your personal information in its systems at any point between September 12, 2023, and May 13, 2024, you're potentially in the class. LINQ should have notified affected individuals, but you can also check the settlement site at linqdataincident.com or call (844) 341-1254.
What's the easiest way to get money from this?
Choose the $50 flat cash payment. It requires no documentation — just submit the claim form online before June 29, 2026.
What counts as 'ordinary' or 'extraordinary' losses?
Ordinary losses are typically out-of-pocket costs you can link to the breach, like fees for credit freezes or identity theft protection. Extraordinary losses cover more serious harms, such as significant financial fraud tied to the incident. Documentation is required for both — receipts, bank statements, or similar records.
Is the credit monitoring worth getting?
It covers all three major credit bureaus for a full year. That's a meaningful perk even if you also claim cash, and you can elect it alongside whichever payment option you choose.
What happens if I miss the June 29, 2026 deadline?
You'll lose the right to receive any settlement benefits. The deadline is firm, so file as early as you can at linqdataincident.com.
Where to act
When you are ready, you open the official claim form yourself. SettleSignal does not file claims or determine eligibility.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
Not ready to file today? Track it free — we'll remind you 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before Jun 29, 2026, and keep your claim details in one place.
