Sirva Relocation Data Breach Settlement

Your options depend on which information group the notice places you in. The alternative cash option replaces loss reimbursement, not credit monitoring.

• All class members may claim two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete credit monitoring and may seek both types of qualifying loss reimbursement.
• Groups 1 and 2 may choose an alternative cash payment instead of either type of loss reimbursement: expected $50 for Group 1 and expected $10 for Group 2. Credit monitoring remains available with that choice.
• Group 3 cannot choose alternative cash, but may claim credit monitoring and either or both qualifying loss reimbursements.

The two reimbursement categories have different limits and conditions. A person seeking extraordinary identity-theft or fraud losses must meet additional requirements beyond showing the amount lost.

• Ordinary expenses may be reimbursed up to $500 if they were actual, documented out-of-pocket costs caused by the Incident.
• Extraordinary losses may be reimbursed up to $4,000 for identity theft or fraud, but the claimant must show the fraud was probably caused by the Incident, the loss is not already covered as an ordinary expense, and they tried to prevent or recover the loss.
• For both types, the loss must have occurred from August 16, 2023 through December 29, 2026. Amounts already reimbursed by a bank, insurer, or another third party cannot be claimed.

Documentation rules differ by benefit. A claim form is still required to receive settlement benefits, including an alternative cash payment.

• For an ordinary or extraordinary loss claim, send supporting proof, such as receipts, showing the amount spent or lost and the connection to the Incident.
• Notes or documents you created yourself can help explain other evidence, but cannot be the only support for a loss claim.
• Group 1 and Group 2 alternative cash claims do not require proof or an explanation.

Credit monitoring is available to all settlement class members who make a claim, regardless of the information group.

• The service is CyEx Financial Shield Complete for two years.
• It includes $1 million in financial fraud insurance.
• The notice says it monitors fraud or identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, and personal information used in high-risk transactions. It also provides access to a fraud-resolution agent if suspicious activity occurs.

The stated alternative cash amounts are not guaranteed. The notice identifies a shared cap but directs readers to the Settlement Agreement for the full description of how it works.

• Alternative cash is expected to be $50 for Group 1 or $10 for Group 2, but either amount may be smaller depending on total claims filed.
• The settlement has a $260,000 aggregate cap that covers valid ordinary-loss claims, extraordinary-loss claims, alternative cash payments, notice and administration costs, and related taxes and expenses.

Opting out means leaving the settlement. You cannot exclude someone else; each person must make their own request.

• To leave the settlement, mail a Request for Exclusion to the Settlement Administrator, postmarked by December 29, 2026.
• The request must identify this lawsuit; include your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address; be personally signed; and say “Request for Exclusion” or clearly state that you do not want to participate.
• A person who opts out gets no settlement benefit but keeps any rights they may have to pursue their own claim against Sirva about the issues covered by this case.

Objecting asks the court not to approve some or all of the settlement. It does not remove a person from the settlement, and an objector may still submit a claim for benefits.

• Only class members who do not opt out may object.
• An objection must identify the case and the objector, include proof of class membership, explain every reason for objecting, and be signed by the class member. The notice lists additional details required if the objection involves a lawyer, speaking at the hearing, witnesses, documents, or prior objections.
• File the complete objection with the Clerk of Court by December 29, 2026, and send a copy to the Settlement Administrator.

The class covers people whose private information was potentially compromised in Sirva’s September 2023 cyberattack. The notice assigns members to one of three subclasses based on the type of information affected.

• Group 1 covers people whose Social Security number was potentially compromised.
• Group 2 covers people whose PII, employment, loan or mortgage, or health information—but not a Social Security number—was potentially compromised.
• Group 3 covers people whose other private information, but none of the Group 1 or Group 2 categories, was potentially compromised.

Submit a claim online through the settlement website or mail a completed and signed paper claim form.

• Online claims must be submitted by December 29, 2026.
• Mailed claims, including any required supporting documentation, must be postmarked by December 29, 2026.

Doing nothing does not produce a settlement benefit. Unless you opt out, you remain in the settlement and give up the covered claims described in the release.

The notice schedules a final approval hearing for January 6, 2027 at 9:00 a.m., but its hearing details are internally inconsistent and should be read with caution.

• The case caption says the matter is in the Circuit Court of Illinois, DuPage County.
• The hearing section instead refers to the District Court for the Central District of California, gives a Wheaton, Illinois address, states Pacific Time, and leaves the courtroom as “[Court Room].”
• The notice says the date and time may change and directs readers to the settlement website for updates.
