Fujifilm Data Incident Settlement
No-Proof OptionMonitoring

Claims open Deadline: November 25, 2026

Who qualifies?

U.S. residents who received notice from Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies that their private information may have been affected by its 2025 data incident. The affected information includes current and former employees' records.

How much could I receive?

Choose $50 or up to $2,500 for qualifying unreimbursed losses. Loss payments may be reduced if approved claims exceed the $175,000 cap. Class members can also request two years of credit monitoring.

Do I need supporting documents?

No loss documents are needed for the $50 option. Expense claims require records such as receipts, statements or correspondence linking the costs to the incident. Your own statement alone is insufficient, and already reimbursed expenses are excluded.

Do I need a notice ID or PIN?

The saved materials do not establish whether a notice ID or PIN is required. Check the official form or contact the administrator if you cannot find your notice.

What is the deadline?

November 25, 2026. Submit online by that date or have your mailed claim postmarked by then.

How do I claim?

Submit the official claim form online or by mail. Choose your cash option and any monitoring benefit, and attach records if claiming expenses.

What benefits can I request, and can they be combined?

The documented-loss option can reimburse qualifying losses up to $2,500, but the $50 option is instead of that reimbursement and does not require loss documents.

  • You may choose either a documented Out-of-Pocket Losses claim or the $50 alternative cash payment; they are not available together.
  • You may also request two years of free Credit Monitoring Services from CyEx with either choice. A timely, valid Claim Form is required for benefits.

What losses and documents may support an Out-of-Pocket Losses claim?

For the documented-loss option, the loss must be related to the Data Incident. The notice says you cannot be paid again for an expense that another source has already reimbursed.

  • Examples include bank fees, certain phone or data charges, postage, local-travel gasoline, and fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or identity-theft insurance.
  • Useful documents can include phone records, emails or other correspondence, and receipts.
  • A personal statement, declaration, or affidavit alone does not count as reasonable documentation, though it can help explain other documents.

Is the $2,500 documented-loss amount guaranteed?

The $2,500 figure is a per-person maximum for documented losses, not a guaranteed payment amount.

  • The loss payment has a $175,000 total cap for all class members’ valid Out-of-Pocket Losses claims.
  • Even a valid documented-loss claim may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the total valid claims require it.
  • The notice does not state that this $175,000 cap applies to the $50 alternative cash payment or credit monitoring.

How and by when do I submit a claim?

A claim must be both timely and valid to receive any benefit.

  • Submit online by November 25, 2026, or mail the Claim Form so it is postmarked by November 25, 2026.
  • Claim Forms are available through the settlement website, by calling the listed toll-free number, or by writing to the Settlement Administrator.
  • The mailing address is Fujifilm Data Incident Settlement Administrator, PO Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799.

What happens if my claim is incomplete or invalid?

For a documented-loss claim, missing reasonable supporting documents can lead to denial.

  • If the Settlement Administrator finds a claim invalid, the notice says the claim will be denied if the problem is not cured.
  • The notice does not describe how a class member would be told about a problem or the deadline and method for curing it.

How do I opt out, and what changes if I do?

Opting out means leaving the settlement. It is different from objecting: a person who opts out cannot object.

  • To leave the settlement, mail a written exclusion request that gives your name, address, phone number, email address if any, a personal physical signature, and a statement that you want to be excluded.
  • It must be postmarked by November 25, 2026. You cannot opt out by phone or email.
  • Leaving means you cannot receive settlement benefits, but you will not be bound by the settlement or its judgment.

What must I do if I want to object to the settlement?

An objection tells the Court why you disagree with some or all of the settlement or the requested attorneys’ fees, costs, or service awards. It does not remove you from the settlement.

  • You must stay in the settlement to object; you cannot both object and opt out.
  • File the written objection with the Wake County court by November 25, 2026.
  • Also send it to Class Counsel, Defendant’s Counsel, and the Settlement Administrator by U.S. mail or private courier by that date.
  • The notice requires identifying and contact information, the grounds and support for the objection, information about prior objections, lawyer information if applicable, hearing-witness information if any, a statement about whether you plan to appear or testify, and your own signature.

When would benefits be provided?

Passing the claim deadline or hearing date does not itself mean benefits will be distributed.

  • Benefits are provided only after the Court approves the settlement and it becomes final.
  • The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for December 11, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., but the notice says its date, time, or format can change.
  • The notice does not give a specific payment or service-start date.

What additional instructions appear on the official website?

The official claim page limits eligible expenses to September 4, 2025 through the November 25, 2026 claim deadline. It also requires a LoginID and PIN for online filing; ask [email protected] for missing credentials using your name and mailing address.

The site offers a separate request for an email reminder with credit-monitoring enrollment instructions after final approval. Requesting that reminder is not a cash claim. Source: https://www.flbdatasettlement.com/form/email-request/, checked September 10, 2026.

Can I speak at the final approval hearing?

The notice is inconsistent: question 20 says a timely objector or their lawyer may ask to speak and the court may hear them, while question 22 answers no. Ask the settlement administrator to clarify before relying on permission to speak. Attendance is optional; follow question 16 for the complete objection requirements and addresses.
