EMS LINQ data breach
If your personal information was in LINQ's systems between September 12, 2023, and May 13, 2024, you can file a claim by June 29, 2026. You can get $50 cash with no documentation, up to $500 for ordinary losses you can document, or up to $2,500 for more serious documented losses — plus a free year of three-bureau credit monitoring.
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.
Three options: a flat $50 cash payment (no documentation needed), up to $500 if you can document ordinary losses tied to the breach, or up to $2,500 if you can document extraordinary losses. Everyone who files can also get one year of credit monitoring covering all three major bureaus.

How to file this claim

- Choose your benefit track: flat $50 cash (no docs needed) or documented losses up to $500 (ordinary) or $2,500 (extraordinary).
- Fill in your personal information to verify you're a class member.

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.

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.
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.
What is the current payment status?
Current payment status: Unknown. Payments are issued by the administrator after the court process concludes.
When will EMS LINQ data breach pay out?
Current payment status: Unknown. Class-action payouts typically begin only after final approval and any appeals. See our payout timeline guide.
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.
