How hard is this claim to file?

Illinois Bone and Joint Institute notified about 568,000 people after a data breach discovered July 4, 2024. If you got one of those notices, you can claim an estimated $50 cash payment, up to $5,000 back for documented losses, and two years of free Kroll Medical Monitoring from a $4,000,000 fund. The deadline is July 1, 2026. This claim form asks for 2 fields and 1 document.

What the form asks

  • Benefit Selection — Select one or more options: the estimated $50 cash payment, out-of-pocket loss reimbursement (up to $5,000 with documentation), and/or two years of Kroll Medical Monitoring. You can pick all three. (The Claim Form at www.IBJISettlement.com. It's a multi-select section, not a single choice.)
  • Out-of-Pocket Loss Documentation — Attach receipts and third-party records for any unreimbursed expenses you can connect to the breach. Examples include identity theft costs, credit monitoring fees you paid, and tax fraud clean-up expenses. (Pull together bank statements, credit card statements, or invoices that show what you spent and when. The costs need to trace back to the IBJI data incident.)

Documents you'll need

  • Receipts and third-party records for out-of-pocket losses (if claiming reimbursement track)

Watch out for

  • The $50 cash estimate is subject to change. The $4,000,000 fund pays attorney fees and administration costs first, and the cash payout per person shifts based on how many valid claims come in.
  • About 568,000 people are in the class. A high filing rate means the cash payment per person goes down.
  • The opt-out and objection deadline was June 1, 2026. That window is now closed.
  • July 1, 2026 is a hard cutoff. No grace period is stated in the settlement documents.

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.
