Fidelity Investments Data Breach Settlement
If Fidelity notified you about the August 2024 data breach, or your account and routing number were exposed, you're likely covered. You need to file a claim by July 27, 2026 to get anything — nothing is automatic. Most people will claim an expected cash payment of around $100, plus two years of free credit monitoring.
Individuals present in Fidelity's records who previously received notice of, or had their financial account and routing number compromised in, the August 2024 FMR LLC d/b/a Fidelity Investments Data Security Incident may be Settlement Class Members entitled to benefits under the Settlement. Payout: Settlement Fund of $2,500,000. Documented out-of-pocket losses up to $5,000, OR an alternative cash payment (expected ~$100); California residents may also claim a $50 CCPA payment. Includes 2 years of CyEx credit monitoring. Proof of purchase is optional. Claim deadline: July 27, 2026. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 28, 2026.
Who may qualify
You self-certify the basics when you file — the settlement administrator makes the final eligibility decision.
You may qualify if you're a US resident and either (1) Fidelity sent you a notice about the August 2024 data security incident, or (2) your financial account number and routing number were exposed in that breach. Joint accountholders on the same account can only file one claim total.

What you'll need to file
From our inspection of the official claim form:
- Filing method Online or mail-in
- Notice ID Optional — there is a no-notice path
- Time to file about 10 minutes for the simple path
- Payment options Not disclosed pre-login — homepage, FAQ, and claim-login page mention only a 'Cash Payment'; payment election (if any) happens in…
- Documentation For Documented Monetary Losses (up to $5,000): "bank statements or receipts" showing amounts spent/lost due to the breach; self-made notes accepted as supporting context but "not enough to make a valid claim" alone. No …
How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- Login ID and PIN — The Unique ID and PIN from the notice Fidelity sent you. These two fields unlock the online form. (Printed on the notice Fidelity mailed to you. Lost it? Email info@FidelityDataSettlement.com with your full name and mailing address and they'll send your credentials.)
- Benefit Selection — Documented Monetary Losses — The total amount of out-of-pocket losses you're claiming, up to $5,000, tied to the breach. Upload or attach your supporting documents when you select this benefit. (Pull together receipts and bank statements for any costs from the breach — identity theft losses, credit monitoring fees you paid, credit freeze fees, ID replacement, postage to contact banks, or gas to drive to a bank to fix fraud.)
- Benefit Selection — Pro Rata Cash Payment — Select this benefit. No proof or explanation needed. (Open to every class member. The expected amount is $100, though it'll shift up or down based on how many people file.)
- Benefit Selection — CCPA Payment (California residents only) — Select the CCPA payment if you live in California. No proof needed. (Available to California residents only. The listed amount is $50, but it can change based on how many California residents file.)
Documents you'll need
- Bank statements or receipts for documented monetary losses (up-to-$5,000 track only)
Watch out for
- Attorneys' fees, plaintiff service awards, and admin costs all come out of the $2,500,000 Settlement Fund before member payments are made. What's left gets divided among valid claims.
- If you shared a joint account with someone and that account was compromised, only one claim is allowed for it — not one per person.
- Your own written notes can back up your receipts, but they can't substitute for them. Third-party proof (statements, receipts) is required for the documented loss track.
- Out-of-pocket losses must have happened between August 17, 2024 and July 27, 2026 and must not have already been covered by insurance or another third party.
- The final cash payment and CCPA payment amounts depend on how many people file. The $100 and $50 figures are estimates, not guarantees.
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.fidelitydatasettlement.com); a genuine settlement administrator never charges a fee to file.

Do I need proof to claim?

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 Fidelity mailed you a notice about the August 2024 data security incident, you're in. If you had a Fidelity account and your account number and routing number were exposed in that breach, you're also covered. Not sure? Call the settlement administrator toll-free at (833) 386-6470 anytime.
Do I have to do anything to get paid?
Yes. Nothing is automatic here — you must file a claim by July 27, 2026. To file online, you'll need the Login ID and PIN from the notice Fidelity sent you. If you lost it, email info@FidelityDataSettlement.com with your full name and mailing address to get a new one.
What if I didn't have any real losses from the breach?
You can still claim the cash payment (expected around $100) without providing any proof at all. You also get two free years of CyEx credit monitoring regardless. The no-proof cash option is there specifically for people who weren't directly harmed but were still affected.
I'm a California resident — what's different for me?
In addition to everything else, you can claim an extra $50 CCPA payment. That's on top of the basic cash payment. Both amounts may shift slightly depending on how many total claims are filed.
What happens if I don't file a claim?
You won't receive any payment or credit monitoring. You'll also still be bound by the settlement terms, meaning you can't sue Fidelity separately over this breach. The only way to preserve your right to sue independently is to formally opt out of the settlement.
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 Jul 27, 2026, and keep your claim details in one place.
