Susan B. Allen Data Breach Settlement: Benefits, Eligibility and Deadline

No. Both types of cash claim share a single $100 limit. Time is valued at $25 per hour for up to four hours, and qualifying losses can also be claimed, but the combined payment cannot exceed $100.

For example, $50 in approved losses plus two approved hours reaches the cap. There is no flat $100 payment just for receiving notice; you must have eligible losses or time spent responding.

The notice, downloadable claim form and FAQ 7 cover documented, unreimbursed incident-related losses from July 14, 2025 through November 12, 2026. Examples include identity-theft losses, credit-report or monitoring costs, credit-freeze fees, replacement IDs and postage to banks.

The online login page instead ends the loss period at September 29 without stating a year. Checked September 10, 2026: https://www.sbamhdatasettlement.com/form/claim and https://www.sbamhdatasettlement.com/faq/. This difference is unresolved. Ask [email protected] or (833) 421-7273 to clarify an affected expense; do not assume either end date settles your eligibility.

For losses, provide receipts, bank statements or equivalent records showing the amount and its link to the incident. Your own notes can explain other evidence but are not sufficient by themselves. Do not claim expenses already reimbursed by another party.

For time, briefly describe real tasks such as changing passwords, investigating suspicious account activity or researching the incident. You may claim up to four hours. The form requires a signed attestation and the administrator may seek more information.

Yes. Class members may request two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete without showing a cash loss. It monitors exposure of healthcare insurance IDs and medical record numbers, checks unauthorized health-savings-account spending, and includes access to a fraud-resolution agent.

The included $1 million figure is medical identity theft insurance coverage, subject to the service's terms. It is not a settlement fund or a cash payment to each person. A claim is still required, and the service can combine with approved cash benefits.

The online claim portal uses the LoginID and PIN from your notice. Its instructions say to email [email protected] with your full name and mailing address to request missing credentials. Checked September 10, 2026: https://www.sbamhdatasettlement.com/form/claim.

Alternatively, use the downloadable signed paper form and include the Notice ID if known. Mail it to the administrator, or email an image of the completed form with the required supporting documents. The current claim page and paper form permit email, although the long notice describes only online and mail submission.

Online and emailed claims are due November 12, 2026. A mailed signed form and supporting records must be postmarked by November 12. Keep a copy and update the administrator if your contact details change.

The paper claim form offers PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card or a physical check. Select one and provide the appropriate payment details. This comes from the official form linked at https://www.sbamhdatasettlement.com/form/claim, checked September 10, 2026.

Submit your own signed exclusion request by October 13, 2026. It must identify the case, include your contact information, have Request for Exclusion at the top and contain the declaration required by notice Question 15. Mail to SBAMH Data Incident Settlement, ATTN: Exclusion Request, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958.

The notice permits a submitted, postmarked or emailed request by that date; the current FAQ describes mailed requests postmarked by it. Before relying on email, confirm the procedure with the administrator. Checked September 10, 2026: https://www.sbamhdatasettlement.com/faq/. Opting out means no settlement benefits, but preserves any right to pursue the covered claims separately.

An objection asks the court to reject or change its view of the settlement while you remain in the class. You can still file a claim. You cannot object if you opt out.

File a complete objection with the Clerk of Court by October 13, 2026 and send a copy to the administrator. Notice Question 16 requires the case identity, your contact information, reasons and supporting material, any lawyer's details, and a signature. The court address there is Butler County Courthouse, 205 W. Central Ave., El Dorado, KS 67042; the administrator copy goes to ATTN: Objections at P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for December 7, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time by Zoom. Attendance is optional. Check the official site for access instructions and schedule changes; you or your lawyer may request permission to speak.

Payments follow final approval and resolution of any appeals. The notice does not promise a payment date. Class counsel seeks $150,000 in fees and costs and $1,500 for each of four class representatives, payable by the hospital if the court approves.

You receive neither cash nor protection services without a valid timely claim. Unless you opt out, you remain in the settlement and give up the covered rights to sue the hospital over the incident.

Section IV of the settlement agreement defines the released claims. The hospital denies wrongdoing, and the court has not decided liability.
