The proposed $350,544.00 settlement covered people whose information was compromised in the September 2024 System Pavers cyberattack.

Benefit Summary
Class Members: Individuals residing in the United States whose personal information was potentially compromised in the September 2024 System Pavers Data Security Incident, including people notified of the incident. Excluded are System Pavers and its officers, directors, and related companies; people who validly opt out; the judge, the judge’s family and staff; and anyone who perpetrated the incident.
Documented losses and lost time with monitoring: These benefits can combine when their individual eligibility and claim requirements are met. Enroll in three years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete, which includes financial fraud insurance and monitoring for fraud, identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, and high-risk financial transactions. Fraud-resolution assistance is available if suspicious activity occurs. Benefits are issued only if the Court approves the settlement and it becomes final after any appeals are resolved. Claim actual, documented, unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses caused by the Data Security Incident, incurred from September 20, 2024 through September 28, 2026. The $3,000 cap also includes any approved lost-time payment. Expenses already reimbursed by another party are not eligible. Benefits are issued only if the Court approves the settlement and it becomes final after any appeals are resolved. Claim up to four hours spent responding to the Data Security Incident, paid at $20 per hour. Briefly describe the related tasks you performed. This payment counts toward the $3,000 cap for loss claims. Benefits are issued only if the Court approves the settlement and it becomes final after any appeals are resolved.
Alternative cash payment with monitoring: These benefits can combine when their individual eligibility and claim requirements are met. Enroll in three years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete, which includes financial fraud insurance and monitoring for fraud, identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, and high-risk financial transactions. Fraud-resolution assistance is available if suspicious activity occurs. Benefits are issued only if the Court approves the settlement and it becomes final after any appeals are resolved.

Questions & Answers
Who is covered by this settlement?
The settlement uses a broad definition based on potential compromise of personal information. The notice does not say that you must show actual identity theft or fraud to be in the class.
- You must live in the United States and have had personal information potentially compromised in the September 2024 System Pavers incident. This includes people who received notice of the incident.
- The notice excludes System Pavers and its officers, directors, and related companies; people who validly opt out; the judge and the judge’s family and staff; and anyone who carried out the incident.
What credit-monitoring benefit is offered?
Credit monitoring is available in addition to whichever cash option you choose. The notice says a valid, timely Claim Form is the only way to receive settlement benefits, but it does not give separate enrollment steps for the monitoring service.
- You may enroll in three years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete credit monitoring.
- The service includes $1 million in financial-fraud insurance and monitors for fraud or identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, and high-risk financial transactions.
- If suspicious activity occurs, the service provides access to a fraud-resolution agent.
What can I claim for documented losses, and what proof do I need?
Send records such as bank statements or receipts to show the amount of a loss. Notes you prepared yourself may help explain other proof, but cannot support the claim by themselves. Your materials should connect the expense to the data incident.
- You can seek reimbursement for actual, documented, unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses caused by the incident, up to $3,000 total.
- Eligible losses must have occurred from September 20, 2024, through September 28, 2026.
- Examples include identity-theft or fraud losses, credit-report or credit-freeze fees, ID replacement costs, and postage used to contact banks.
- You cannot claim expenses another party has already reimbursed.
Can I receive payment for time I spent responding to the incident?
Lost-time payment is part of the documented-loss option, not an extra amount above it. Any approved lost-time payment counts toward the $3,000 cap for loss claims. The notice does not specify a separate supporting-document requirement for lost time.
- You may claim up to four hours spent responding to the incident, at $20 per hour, for a maximum of $80.
- Examples include changing passwords, checking suspicious account activity, and researching the incident.
- Briefly describe the tasks on which you spent the time.
What is the alternative cash payment, and can I combine it with other payments?
The expected amount is not guaranteed. It may be higher or lower depending on the total number of claims. You may receive this alternative payment with credit monitoring, but it replaces the other cash options.
- Instead of documented losses and lost time, you may choose a one-time alternative cash payment.
- It is expected to be $100 for California residents and $80 for residents of other states.
- You do not need to provide proof or an explanation for this option.
How do I submit a claim, and what is the deadline?
The notice identifies online submission and U.S. mail as the claim methods. You can request a paper Claim Form by phone, email, or mail.
- Submit a Claim Form online by September 28, 2026, or
- Mail a completed and signed Claim Form, with any supporting documentation needed for your claim, postmarked by September 28, 2026.
What happens if I do nothing, or if I want to opt out?
Opting out means leaving the settlement. It is different from objecting: an objection asks the court not to approve some or all of the settlement, while an opt-out removes you from it.
- If you stay in the settlement and do nothing, you receive no benefits or payment.
- You also give up the rights described in the settlement’s release, including the right to bring or continue a lawsuit against System Pavers about the legal claims resolved by this settlement.
- To leave the settlement, submit a Request for Exclusion by August 28, 2026. A person who opts out receives no settlement benefits but keeps any rights they may have to sue System Pavers individually about the issues in this case.
When will benefits be sent, and do I need to attend the court hearing?
The hearing date and time may change. The notice does not give a specific payment date.
- The final approval hearing is scheduled for November 13, 2026, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time, in Department CX101 of the Superior Court of Orange County, California, at 751 W Santa Ana Blvd, Santa Ana, CA 92701.
- You do not have to attend.
- The court must approve the settlement, and any appeals must be resolved, before payments are distributed.
