PSEA data breach

Yes — the PSEA data breach settlement is a real claims process that SettleSignal tracks from its official source. It is administered by RG/2 Claims Administration 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 June 13, 2026. Always confirm the current details on the official site before filing.

Individuals whose private information was potentially compromised in the July 6, 2024 data breach and received notification on or around March 18, 2025. Excludes board members, government entities, and court personnel.

Settlement Class Members who submit a Valid Claim can receive two years of credit monitoring, plus either up to $5,000 for documented Out-of-Pocket Losses, or an Alternative Cash Payment of $50 that is subject to proration based on the number of Valid Claims received. Out-of-Pocket Losses require documentation and are not to exceed $5,000 per Settlement Class Member; Alternative Cash Payment claimants do not need supporting documentation and cannot also file for Out-of-Pocket Expenses. 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.

The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, RG/2 Claims Administration. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.

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.
