Hospital Sisters Health System HSHS data breach Settlement
Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) settled a class action over a cyberattack that exposed patient and employee personal and health data in August 2023. If your info was caught up in that breach, you can file a claim for real money.
Up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses (Option 1), or a pro-rata share of remaining Settlement Fund for those choosing Alternative Cash Payment (Option 2). Total Settlement Fund is $7,600,000.
Two options: if you had actual out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach, you can claim up to $5,000 with documentation. If you want a simpler cash payment with no receipts required, you get a share of whatever remains in the $7,600,000 settlement fund after the documented-loss claims are paid out.

Proof requirements
Proof requirement is currently marked as Optional.
Review the official claim form before submitting any information.
What you need
Proof is optional — you can file for a basic cash payment with no documentation at all. If you want to claim up to $5,000 for specific losses (fraudulent charges, credit monitoring costs, time spent dealing with the breach, etc.), you'll need receipts or other records to back those up.
How to file this claim
- Go to hshsdatasettlement.com/form/claim and submit the online claim form — this is the fastest method and must be completed by November 14, 2025.
- Choose your payment option: Option 1 (Documented Losses, up to $5,000.00 with proof) or Option 2 (Alternative Cash Payment, no proof required).
- If you choose Option 1, attach bank statements, receipts, or comparable records showing losses tied to the breach; personal notes alone will not make a valid claim without supporting documentation.
- If you received a postcard notice in the mail, you can instead tear off the attached claim form and mail it postmarked no later than November 14, 2025.
- While you are filing, enroll in the two-year CyEx Financial Shield monitoring — it includes $1 million financial fraud insurance and is available to all class members at no extra step.
- After submitting, watch the settlement website for payment timing; the court's final approval hearing is December 4, 2025 and payments go out only after that (and any appeals) are resolved.
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.
