How hard is this claim to file?
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- November 14, 2025 is the hard cutoff for both online submissions and postmarked mail — there is no grace period noted.
- Use only the official site hshsdatasettlement.com. Data-breach settlements are prime targets for scam look-alike sites.
- You can choose only one cash option — Option 1 or Option 2, not both.
- For Option 1, self-written notes or personal records do not stand alone; they must accompany real documentation like bank statements or receipts.
- Doing nothing means no payment and you permanently give up your right to sue HSHS over this breach on your own.
- Payment timeline is uncertain — court approval and potential appeals will extend the wait beyond the deadline date.
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.
