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.
