New River Electrical Corporation - Data Breach
If you got a notice that New River Electrical Corporation exposed your personal information in a spring 2024 cyberattack, you can file a claim for credit monitoring, expense reimbursement, or a cash payment. You must submit a claim by July 20, 2026 — nothing gets paid out automatically.
Payment amount set by the settlement administrator
Claimants can choose between free credit monitoring services, reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses tied to the breach, or an alternative cash payment. The total settlement fund is capped at $425,000, which covers all benefits, administrative costs, attorney fees, and any plaintiff service award — so your individual share depends on how many valid claims are filed and what courts approve for fees.

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.
