How to file this claim
- Check whether you received a notification from Benson Health saying your private information may have been impacted by the May 2021 ransomware incident. That notice is what qualifies you.

Watch out for
- The $350,000 fund is shared across all valid claims, so your individual payout depends on how many people file.
- Credit monitoring services come out of that same $350,000 pool, which means less cash for individual claimants.
- No payments go out until the court grants final approval of the settlement.
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.
