- What you needYou need to submit a claim form online at obriensecurityincident.com or mail it postmarked by December 29, 2025. For expense or loss reimbursement, attach documentation. For the flat $60 payment or lost-time claim, less documentation is needed.
How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- Benefit election — Pick one: ordinary losses (up to $500), extraordinary losses (up to $5,000), lost time (up to $150), or the $60 flat cash payment. (Your call based on what actually happened to you.)
- Documentation of ordinary losses — Itemized receipts or statements for credit reports, credit monitoring services, or identity theft insurance you bought because of the breach. (Your email inbox, bank statements, or credit card statements.)
- Lost time hours — How many hours you spent dealing with the breach fallout. Up to 3 hours need no documentation; up to 3 more hours can be documented. (Your own memory for the undocumented hours. For documented hours, dig up calendar entries, call logs, or anything showing the time you spent.)
Documents you'll need
- Receipts or statements for ordinary loss expenses (credit reports, credit monitoring, identity theft insurance)
- Documentation of extraordinary losses (e.g., fraud records, bank statements showing unauthorized charges)
Watch out for
- The deadline is December 29, 2025 for both online submissions and mailed claim forms. Miss it and you're out.
- The $60 flat payment is either/or. Taking it means you can't also claim ordinary losses, lost time, or extraordinary losses.
- Deadlines to opt out or object were December 1, 2025, earlier than the claim deadline. Those windows are closed.
- The Final Approval Hearing was set for January 22, 2026. The settlement may still be working through court approval.
