La Jolla Group Data Incident Settlement: What Employees Can Claim

The credit-monitoring benefit can be added to either of the two monetary paths. But Cash Compensation is an alternative to claiming reimbursement for losses or lost time.

• You may choose Credit Monitoring Services together with either Cash Compensation or Out-of-Pocket Loss reimbursement.
• You cannot claim Cash Compensation if you submit an Out-of-Pocket Loss claim, including a Lost Time claim.
• The loss-related reimbursement limit is $2,000 total, including any Lost Time reimbursement. It is not $2,000 plus $100.

The proof rules depend on the benefit selected. Claims are also subject to a verification process.

• Out-of-pocket losses: You need reasonable third-party records, such as statements, invoices, telephone records, or receipts. A personal statement by itself is not enough.
• Lost Time: You must attest that the time was spent responding to the incident. No supporting records are required. You can claim up to four hours at $25 per hour, but must have spent at least one full hour.
• Cash Compensation and Credit Monitoring Services: The notice says no documentation is required.

The notice does not say whether a mailed Claim Form must be postmarked by November 23, 2026, received by that date, or both. It only says the form must be submitted on or before that date.

• Complete and submit a valid Claim Form by November 23, 2026.
• You can submit it online or by USPS mail.
• If your notice included a unique Class Member ID, include it on the form.

The notice does not define the California Subclass or explain how a person can tell whether they belong to it. It only identifies the different cash amounts. Ask Analytics Consulting at 866-853-4275 to confirm your subclass if unsure.

• California Subclass members may claim $95 in Cash Compensation if they do not claim Out-of-Pocket Losses or Lost Time.
• All other Settlement Class Members may claim $45 under the same condition.

The notice does not explain how payments would be handled if approved Out-of-Pocket Loss claims exceed the $50,000 total cap.

• All Out-of-Pocket Loss claims together are capped at $50,000.
• That cap covers the loss-related claims of all Settlement Class Members, not a separate $50,000 amount for each person.

The notice does not give a specific payment date. The hearing date is not a guaranteed payment date, and the hearing schedule may change by court order.

• The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for December 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. PT.
• Even if the Court approves the settlement, payment is sent only after the Effective Date and only for claims approved by the Settlement Administrator.

Opting out means leaving the settlement. You would not receive settlement benefits, but you would not be bound by the settlement's release of the claims it covers.

• You must send a written request for exclusion by mail or submit it through the Settlement Website by November 23, 2026.
• The request must identify the case, include your full name and personal original signature, and say that you want to be excluded or use similar wording.
• You cannot opt out by phone or email. Each person must submit their own request.

Written objections must reach the administrator by November 23, 2026, under the deadline table on notice page 2. Submit online or mail to La Jolla Group Data Settlement, c/o Analytics Consulting LLC, PO Box 2004, Chanhassen, MN 55317-2004. Follow question 17 for all required statements, documents and signatures.

The notice also permits a class member who has not opted out to attend and object without first submitting a written objection, and to ask permission to speak. The hearing is December 17, 2026 at 2 p.m. Pacific Time; check the official website for changes.
