Hampton Regional Medical Center Data Incident Settlement

The two cash options are alternatives. Credit monitoring is an additional benefit, not a replacement for the cash choice.

• Choose Cash Payment A for reimbursement of documented losses, up to $5,000, or Cash Payment B, an estimated $20 payment. You cannot receive both cash payments.
• The estimated $20 can go up or down depending on the number of valid claims.
• You may also choose one year of one-bureau credit monitoring in addition to either cash option.

Cash Payment A may reimburse up to $5,000 in documented losses related to the Data Incident. A signature or statement by itself is not enough; the notice requires reasonable supporting documentation.

• Select Cash Payment A on the Claim Form.
• Attest under penalty of perjury that you had documented losses related to the Data Incident.
• Provide reasonable documents supporting those losses.
• Do not claim expenses already repaid by another source in connection with the identity-protection and credit-monitoring services offered in Defendant’s notification letter, or otherwise.

The notice offers one year of monitoring from one credit bureau. The supplied notice does not state whether documents are needed to request this benefit; it does state that a valid and timely Claim Form is required to receive settlement benefits.

• The product includes medical identity monitoring and real-time alerts.
• It includes insurance coverage of up to $1 million for medical identity theft.
• The notice says it is available even if you previously received credit monitoring related to this incident or for another reason.
• The notice estimates its value at $240 per year.

This means the $250,000 is the total settlement amount, rather than a separate amount reserved entirely for class-member payments.

• The defendant will pay $250,000 if the Court approves the settlement.
• Class Counsel may ask for up to $150,000 in attorneys’ fees and up to $15,000 in costs.
• The two Class Representatives may each receive a $2,500 service award if approved.
• Any approved fees, costs, and service awards come out of the $250,000 settlement amount before payments to people with valid claims.

The notice does not promise a payment date. It says benefits will be distributed as soon as possible only after final approval and after any appeals have been resolved.

• Benefits are not expected before final approval and the end of any appeals.
• The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for January 25, 2027, at 10:00 a.m. ET.
• The notice says the hearing date and time can change.
• The supplied notice says the hearing is via WebEx but does not provide connection information.

Opting out means leaving the settlement. According to the detailed opt-out section, a person who opts out does not receive settlement benefits and keeps the right to separately sue about the legal issues in this case.

• Send a written exclusion request to the Settlement Administrator.
• Include your name, address, telephone number, email address if you have one, a statement that you want to be excluded, and your own signature.
• Mail it to the administrator and have it postmarked by December 24, 2026.
