Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The deadline listed in the notice was June 11, 2026. That date may already be behind you — check the settlement site before doing anything else.
- Credit monitoring is automatic. You do not need to file to get two years of three-bureau monitoring.
- The pro-rata cash amount isn't set in stone. It depends on how many people file and how much is left in the fund after documented-loss claims are paid.
- Two separate organizations were breached. Make sure you know which one (or both) you're tied to before filing.
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.

Do I still get anything if I missed the claim deadline?

What does 'three-bureau credit monitoring' mean?
It means your credit files at all three major bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — are watched for suspicious activity. If something new shows up, you get an alert so you can act quickly.

What kind of losses could people claim up to $5,000 for?

Is there anything I need to do right now?
The filing deadline has passed, so no new claims can be submitted. Watch for instructions from the settlement administrator about how to activate your credit monitoring if you haven't done so already.
