PSEA data breach

Yes — the PSEA data breach settlement is a real claims process that SettleSignal tracks from its official source. It proceeds under case 2025-CV-02411 in Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. File only through the official settlement website (www.pseadatasettlement.com); a genuine settlement administrator never charges a fee to file. SettleSignal last checked this record against the official source on September 14, 2026. Always confirm the current details on the official site before filing.

The Settlement Class includes all natural persons in the United States whose Private Information was potentially compromised as a result of the Data Incident, including those who were sent a notification from Defendant of the Data Incident on or around March 18, 2025.

$50. The exact amount you may receive is decided by the settlement administrator based on your valid claim and is not guaranteed; a total settlement-fund figure is shared among all eligible claimants, not paid to each person.

The claim deadline is July 6, 2026. Confirm the current deadline on the official settlement source before filing.

Proof requirement: Optional. The settlement administrator determines what documentation, if any, is required.

No payment stage is reported for this record yet. Class-action payouts typically begin only after final approval and any appeals. See our payout timeline guide.

No claim form is needed — The claim deadline (Jul 06, 2026) has passed — this settlement is closed to new claims. Listed for reference. Never pay a fee to claim a settlement payment.

If PSEA sent you a data breach notification letter around March 18, 2025, you're likely in the class. The breach happened on or around July 6, 2024, and exposed information like names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, account numbers, health insurance info, and more.

Only if you're claiming the up-to-$5,000 out-of-pocket option. The $50 alternative cash payment requires no documentation at all. You can't claim both — pick one.

The $50 payment is subject to proration, meaning if a large number of people file, the actual payment could be less. The settlement documents don't specify a floor, so the final amount depends on total claims filed.

Costs traceable to the breach on or after July 6, 2024 — things like identity theft expenses, falsified tax return issues, credit report fees, fraud resolution services, and related miscellaneous costs like postage or mileage. Documented expenses for credit monitoring or mitigative services through March 18, 2026 also count.

You stay in the class, get nothing from the settlement, but also give up your right to sue PSEA over this breach. If you want to keep your right to sue separately, you'd need to formally opt out by July 6, 2026.
