Esse Health Data Incident Settlement
If your personal or health information was caught up in Esse Health's April 2025 cyberattack, you're automatically enrolled in Medical Identity Protection — no action needed for that. To also get a cash payment, you need to file a claim by August 4, 2026.
Payment amount set by the settlement administrator
There are two benefits. First, every class member automatically gets an enrollment code for Medical Identity Protection once the settlement is finalized — nothing to file for that. Second, you can file a claim to receive a cash payment. The estimated amount is $50, though the final figure depends on how many people file and what's deducted for court costs, attorney fees, and administration — so your actual check could be more or less.

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.
Who may qualify
You qualify if Esse Health identified you in their records as someone whose information was potentially exposed in the April 2025 cyberattack, and you received a notice from Esse Health. This can include your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, health insurance information, or medical record numbers. Esse Health employees, officers, and court personnel are excluded.
Official eligibility wording
Individuals identified by Esse Health's records whose Private Information was potentially compromised in the April 2025 Esse Health Data Incident.
This summary is based on available official settlement sources. The settlement administrator determines eligibility and payment approval.

When will Esse Health Data Incident Settlement pay out?
Current payment status: Final approval pending. Class-action payouts typically begin only after final approval and any appeals. See our payout timeline guide.
Where is the official Esse Health Data Incident Settlement 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.
Do I have to do anything to get the Medical Identity Protection?
No. Every class member is automatically enrolled and will receive an activation code once the court gives final approval to the settlement. You don't need to file a claim for this benefit.
How do I get the cash payment?
File a claim by August 4, 2026. The fastest way is online at essehealthsettlement.com/form/claim. You can also mail in the tear-off form that came with your postcard notice, or download and print the form from the settlement website.
Will I definitely get $50?
The $50 is an estimate. The actual amount depends on the total number of valid claims filed and the deductions for court expenses, attorney fees, and administration costs. Your payment could end up higher or lower than $50.
What if I miss the August 4 deadline?
If you don't file a claim by August 4, 2026, you won't receive a cash payment. You'll still be part of the settlement unless you opted out, which means you give up the right to sue Esse Health separately over this breach.
What information was exposed, and what should I watch for?
Exposed information varied by person and could include names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance details, and medical record numbers. It's a good idea to monitor your credit reports and watch for suspicious activity — the Medical Identity Protection benefit is specifically there to help with this.
