What you'll need to file
From our inspection of the official claim form:

How hard is this claim to file?
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The claim deadline is August 26, 2026 — mailed forms must be postmarked by that date, not just dropped in the box that day.
- Self-prepared notes alone are not enough to support a loss claim; you need actual bank statements or receipts alongside any personal notes.
- The $50 cash option is available only to Group 1 members (Social Security number exposed). If your SSN was not part of the breach, this option is not available to you.
- If total claims exceed the settlement fund, individual payouts can be reduced proportionally — filing early does not change your share, but it does avoid deadline scrambles.
- The only official claim site is hccdatasettlement.com — double-check the URL before entering personal information.
- The final approval hearing is August 24, 2026 — two days before the claim deadline. If the court does not approve the settlement, claims will not be paid.
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.
