Compensation for Lost Time: Class Members who spent time responding to the Security Incident may claim up to four (4) hours, at $20.00 per hour, for a maximum of $80.00. You must have spent the time on tasks related to the Security Incident. Some examples include things like:
If you are filing for Ordinary Expenses, as described below, the amount claimed is included with the $1,000.00 cap.
Ordinary Expenses: Class Members who incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket expenses due to the Security Incident, can get back up to $1,000.00. The losses must have occurred between February 6, 2025, and April 6, 2026, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
If you are filing for Compensation for Lost Time, as described above, the amount claimed is included with the $1,000.00 cap.
Extraordinary Expenses (losses from fraud or identity theft): Class Members who lost money because of identity theft or fraud, can get back up to $4,000.00. You will need to show that:
-
the theft or fraud was probably caused by the Security Incident
-
the losses are not already covered by Ordinary Expenses or Lost Time
-
you tried to prevent the loss or get your money back, such as by using insurance you already have
The losses must have occurred between February 6, 2025, and April 6, 2026, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party.
To make a claim for Compensation for Lost Time and/or Extraordinary Expenses, you need to submit proof, like receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. You can also provide notes or papers you made yourself to explain or support other proof, but those notes or papers alone are not enough to make a valid claim. Your proof or notes should show that your expenses were because of the Security Incident.
Cash Payment Option 2 - Alternative Cash Payment: Instead of any other cash payment (described above), you may claim a one-time $25.00 payment.
