No-Proof OptionMonitoring

Claims open Deadline: November 3, 2026

Who qualifies?

Living individuals in the United States whose private information was potentially compromised in Southern Graphics' December 2024 data incident, including people mailed a breach notice.

How much could I receive?

Choose a share of the remaining cash fund or up to $3,500 for qualifying unreimbursed losses. The alternative cash amount is not yet known. You can also request two years of financial fraud and identity monitoring.

Do I need supporting documents?

No loss documents are needed for the alternative payment. Larger claims need records of incident-related expenses incurred from December 2, 2024, through November 3, 2026. Personal statements alone are insufficient, and expenses already reimbursed do not qualify.

Do I need a notice ID or PIN?

Online claims require the Login ID and PIN from your notice. The saved materials do not confirm whether a paper claim can be filed without them; contact the administrator for help.

What is the deadline?

November 3, 2026. Submit online by that date or have your completed mailed claim postmarked by then.

How do I claim?

File the official form online or by mail. Choose your cash option and monitoring benefit, and attach records if you are asking for reimbursement of losses.

Which benefits can I combine?

You can request two years of credit monitoring together with one cash option: documented incident-related losses up to $3,500, or an alternative cash payment whose amount depends on valid claims. You cannot collect both cash options. A timely, valid claim form is needed.

What losses qualify for reimbursement?

The loss must result from the data incident and have occurred between December 2, 2024 and November 3, 2026. Examples include identity-theft losses, credit-report or monitoring fees, credit-freeze fees, ID replacement costs and postage to contact banks. Do not claim expenses already reimbursed by another party.

Provide receipts or other reasonable records establishing your expenses. A statement you prepare yourself can explain other records but cannot support the claim on its own. The alternative cash option does not require loss proof or an explanation.

Is there a set amount for the alternative cash payment?

No specific amount appears in the notice or the official claim page reviewed on September 10, 2026 (https://www.southerngraphicsdatasettlement.com/form/claim). The notice says the payment depends on timely, valid claims and that an estimate will be posted on the official site.

The $750,000 fund also pays litigation costs, lawyers and class benefits. Do not treat the whole fund as money reserved for alternative cash payments. The notice does not clearly explain the order of deductions in its short payment formula; ask the administrator about the eventual calculation.

What does credit monitoring include?

CyEx Financial Shield Complete provides two years of monitoring for identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions and personal information used in high-risk transactions, with fraud-resolution assistance. Its $1 million financial-fraud insurance is insurance coverage, not a cash settlement award.

How and when do I file a claim?

File online by November 3, 2026, or mail a completed, signed form with any required supporting documents postmarked by that date. Send mailed claims to Southern Graphics Data Incident Settlement, c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958.

The official online form requires your notice LoginID and PIN. A printable form is also available. For assistance, call 866-607-3453 or email [email protected]. Online access checked at https://www.southerngraphicsdatasettlement.com/form/claim on September 10, 2026.

How do I leave the settlement?

Mail an individually signed opt-out request to the administrator, postmarked by October 19, 2026. Identify Davis, et al. v. Southern Graphics, Inc., Case No. 3:25-cv-563; give your full name, mailing address, telephone number and email address; and clearly say you want to opt out. See notice question 15 for the complete requirements.

Opting out means no benefits, but preserves any right you may have to bring your own claim over these issues. Doing nothing instead means no benefits while remaining bound by the settlement release.

How do I object while remaining in the settlement?

File a complete objection with the court clerk by October 19, 2026, and send copies by U.S. mail to the administrator, class counsel and defense counsel. Notice question 16 on pages 8-9 gives the required contents and all addresses, including prior-objection and lawyer information, proposed witnesses, attendance plans and your own signature.

An objection keeps you in the class, so you can still claim benefits. A person who opts out cannot object.

When is the hearing, and when would payments arrive?

The hearing is scheduled for November 18, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time at the Gene Snyder United States Courthouse, 601 West Broadway, Louisville, Kentucky 40202. Attendance is optional; check the official site for changes. A class member or lawyer may ask permission to speak.

Payment depends on final court approval and resolution of any appeals. The notice gives no distribution date, and the hearing date is not a promised payment date.
