SouthState Bank data breach
If SouthState Bank notified you that your personal information was exposed in their February 2024 data breach, you're covered by this settlement. The claim deadline was June 15, 2026, so the window to file for a cash payment has closed, but all class members who didn't opt out automatically receive one year of credit monitoring.
up to $3,500.00 in reimbursement for documented losses as a result of fraud and/or identity theft and pro rata (proportional) Cash Payments
Two cash options were available: up to $3,500 reimbursement for documented losses from fraud or identity theft tied to the breach, or a proportional share of the $1,500,000 cash fund for everyone else. On top of that, all class members (who didn't opt out) get one year of credit monitoring with fraud and identity theft insurance coverage automatically, no claim form needed.
