- Claim deadlineJuly 20, 2026 (closed)
- What you needSubmit a Claim Form online or by mail before July 20, 2026. You'll need to identify yourself as someone notified by NREC — the proof requirements are not yet specified on the settlement site, so check nrecdatasettlement.com or the FAQs for any documentation needed when you file.
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
- Documentation Expense Reimbursement claims require proof such as receipts or other documentation not self-prepared by the claimant; self-prepared documents alone are insufficient but may support other documentation. No documentation …
How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- Benefit selection: Credit Monitoring, Expense Reimbursement, or Alternative Cash Payment — Choose which benefit you want. You can select credit monitoring, expense reimbursement, or the alternative cash payment. (The claim form and the settlement website both explain each option.)
Documents you'll need
- Notification received from New River Electrical Corporation about the data breach
- Documentation of out-of-pocket expenses (if claiming expense reimbursement)
Watch out for
- The $425,000 fund has to cover administration costs, attorneys' fees, and a potential service award before any class member benefits are paid out. The amount left for claimants will be less than $425,000.
- The opt-out and objection deadlines were June 19, 2026. If you missed them, you're still in the class and can file a claim — you just can't exclude yourself or object anymore.
- The Final Approval Hearing was scheduled for June 29, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern. Check https://nrecdatasettlement.com/dates/ for the current status before filing.
- Eligibility is based on NREC's own records. If NREC didn't have you in their system as affected, you won't qualify.
- Skip the claim entirely and you get nothing — and you give up certain legal rights against NREC.
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.
