Can I claim more than one benefit?

Credit monitoring is available to all Class Members who submit a claim. The service includes monitoring, help from a fraud-resolution agent if suspicious activity occurs, and $1 million in financial fraud insurance.

  • You can claim three years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete.
  • You may also claim documented losses and choose either lost-time payment or the $40 alternate payment. The $40 payment replaces lost-time payment, not documented-loss payment.

What losses can be reimbursed?

Examples in the notice include identity-theft or fraud losses, certain credit-related fees, replacement identification costs, and postage used to contact banks. This is a reimbursement benefit, so records are required.

  • The loss must be an actual out-of-pocket loss caused by the Data Incident.
  • It must have occurred from March 2, 2025, through January 13, 2027.
  • The maximum reimbursement is $4,000.
  • You cannot claim an amount already repaid by someone else, such as an insurer or other third party.

What proof is needed for a cash claim?

The notice does not say that you need documents for the $40 alternate payment. It does require an attestation—a statement confirming the claim—for lost-time payment.

  • Send records such as bank statements or receipts showing the amount you spent or lost.
  • The records or supporting explanation should connect the expense to the Data Incident.
  • Notes or papers you prepared yourself may support other records, but cannot by themselves establish a valid claim.

Should I choose lost-time payment or the $40 alternate payment?

Consider which option fits your situation before submitting your Claim Form. The notice does not say that both can be paid to the same person.

  • Lost time pays up to three hours at $20 per hour, for no more than $60.
  • The time must have been spent responding to the Data Incident, such as changing passwords, checking suspicious account activity, or researching the incident.
  • The alternate payment is a one-time $40 payment and needs no proof or explanation.
  • You must choose between lost-time payment and the alternate payment.

How and when do I submit a claim?

A claim is required for every settlement benefit, including credit monitoring. Doing nothing does not provide a benefit.

  • Submit the Claim Form online by January 13, 2027.
  • Or download a form and mail it to the Settlement Administrator. A mailed form must be completed, signed, and postmarked by January 13, 2027.
  • Include supporting documentation when it applies to the benefit claimed.

When will benefits or payments be issued?

The hearing is scheduled for January 28, 2027, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, but approval is not guaranteed. A hearing date passing does not mean that benefits have been approved or distributed.

  • The Court must first grant final approval.
  • Appeals could delay distribution if they are filed.
  • The notice does not provide a specific payment date.

What is the difference between opting out and objecting?

If you stay in the settlement and do not submit a claim, you receive no benefits and give up the legal rights described in the Settlement Agreement.

  • Opting out means leaving the settlement. You will not receive settlement benefits, but you keep any rights you may have to bring your own case about the issues covered.
  • Objecting means telling the Court why you oppose the settlement. You can object only if you stay in the settlement.
  • The deadline for either step is December 29, 2026.
