Fidelity Investments Data Breach Settlement

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.
