UFCW Local 7 Data Breach Settlement

A valid Claim Form is required for every benefit. The documented-loss and lost-time options can be requested together, but the $50 alternative payment takes the place of those cash-payment options.

• You may request up to $3,000 for qualifying documented losses from fraud or identity theft tied to the Data Incident.
• You may also request payment for up to three hours spent dealing with incident-related issues, at $25 per hour (up to $75).
• Instead of requesting documented losses and/or lost time, you may choose an alternative cash payment of up to $50.
• You may add two years of one-bureau credit monitoring to any cash-payment choice.

Do not seek reimbursement for an expense that another source has already repaid, such as a financial institution or identity-protection product. If a documented-loss or lost-time claim is rejected and you do not fix the problem, the notice says it will be handled as a claim for the alternative cash payment.

• For documented losses, include reasonable records showing fraud or identity-theft losses related to the Data Incident. A personal statement, declaration, or affidavit by itself does not count as sufficient documentation.
• For lost time, describe the time on the Claim Form and attest that it was actually spent because of the Data Incident.
• The alternative cash payment does not require supporting documents.

You can ask the Settlement Administrator to mail you a Claim Form by calling 1-888-261-1463 or writing to the address in the notice.

• Submit online or mail a Claim Form to the Settlement Administrator.
• Use your name, address, telephone number, email address if applicable, and the CPT ID and Passcode from the notice sent to you.
• A mailed claim must be postmarked by December 14, 2026.

Credit monitoring is available in addition to a cash-payment claim; it is not automatic.

• The monitoring includes credit monitoring, dark-web monitoring, real-time authentication alerts, high-risk transaction monitoring, lost-wallet protection, and identity-theft insurance of up to $1 million.
• The notice says you receive an enrollment code for two years of monitoring.
• You must submit a valid Claim Form to receive it.

Opting out means leaving the settlement. It preserves the possibility of bringing your own lawsuit about the claims being resolved, but it does not guarantee that any separate lawsuit will succeed.

• Send a personally signed request to opt out, with your name, address, telephone number, email address if any, and a statement asking to be excluded from this case.
• Mail it to the Settlement Administrator and ensure it is postmarked by December 14, 2026.
• If you opt out, do not submit a Claim Form and you cannot receive settlement benefits.

The notice lists detailed additional requirements for objections, including information about counsel, possible witnesses, and whether artificial intelligence was used to prepare the objection. Review Question 20 of the notice for the complete list.

• Mail a written objection by December 14, 2026 to the Court, Class Counsel, Defendant’s Counsel, and the Settlement Administrator at the addresses in the notice.
• Include your contact information, the reasons for your objection and any known legal support, the required information about prior class-action objections, whether you or your lawyer will attend the hearing, and your signature.
• You may object only if you remain in the Settlement Class. You cannot opt out and object.

The Court must approve the settlement and it must become final before benefits are provided. The notice does not give a specific payment date.

• The hearing is scheduled for January 13, 2027, at 3:00 p.m.
• It may be attended through Webex or in Courtroom 540 at the Jefferson County courthouse in Golden, Colorado.
• You do not have to attend. The hearing date and time may change.
