7 open data breach class action settlements you can file a claim for, paying up to $6,000 per person.

Questions

Do I need a notice to claim a data breach settlement?

Usually. Most data breach settlements were notified by letter or email, and the claim form asks for the Claim ID or PIN from that notice. If you think you were affected but got nothing, contact the settlement administrator listed on the case page.

How do I know if I qualify for a class action settlement?

Every settlement defines a class: who bought a product, used a service, or had an account during certain dates, sometimes only in certain states. Open the case page to read the class definition. If it describes you, you can file.

Do I need proof of purchase to file a claim?

Not always. Many settlements have a no proof tier that pays a set amount if you sign a statement that you qualify. Higher payouts usually need receipts, statements, serial numbers or a notice ID.

How long does it take to get paid?

Payments go out after the court's final approval hearing and after any appeals end. That's usually 3 to 12 months after the claim deadline.
