If you are a Settlement Class Member, and you file a valid and timely Claim Form by September 30, 2024, you may be eligible for the following Settlement benefits:
Documented Ordinary Losses – Up to $1,500 for documented unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses fairly traceable to the Data Incident. Examples of documented Ordinary Losses may include:
• Unreimbursed losses relating to fraud or identity theft;
• Out-of-pocket credit monitoring costs that were incurred on or after the Data Incident through the date of claim submission; and
• Unreimbursed bank fees, long distance phone charges, postage, or gasoline for local travel.
This list of reimbursable documented out-of-pocket expenses is not meant to be exhaustive. Settlement Class Members may make claims for any documented unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses reasonably related to the Data Incident or to dealing with the effects of the Data Security Incident. The Claims Administrator shall have discretion to determine whether any claimed loss is reasonably related to the Data Incident. Settlement Class Members with Ordinary Losses must submit documentation supporting their claims. This can include receipts or other documentation not “self- prepared” by the claimant that documents the costs incurred. “Self-prepared” documents such as handwritten receipts are, by themselves, insufficient to receive reimbursement, but may be considered to add clarity or support to other submitted documentation.
Documented Extraordinary Losses – Compensation for Extraordinary Losses resulting from the Data Incident, up to $10,000 by submitting a valid Claim Form and supporting documentation, provided that:
• The loss is an actual, documented, and unreimbursed monetary loss;
• The loss was more likely than not caused by the Data Incident;
• The loss occurred between February 25, 2020, and the Claims Deadline;
• The loss is not already covered by one or more of the normal reimbursement categories; and
• You made reasonable efforts to avoid the loss or seek reimbursement for the loss, including, but not limited to, exhaustion of all available credit monitoring insurance and identity theft insurance.
Extraordinary Losses may include, without limitation, the unreimbursed costs, expenses, losses or charges incurred as a result of identity theft or identity fraud, falsified tax returns, or other possible misuse of Personal Information. To receive reimbursement for any documented Extraordinary Loss, you must submit supporting documentation of the loss and a description of how the loss is fairly traceable to the Data Incident, if not readily apparent from the documentation.
Please Note: Claims for documented Ordinary Losses will be limited to $1,500 combined. Claims for any Documented Extraordinary Losses will be limited to up to $10,000. All cash payments may be adjusted pro rata depending on the number of Settlement Class Members that participate in the Settlement.
Alternative Cash Payment – As an alternative to filing a Claim Form for reimbursement of Ordinary Losses or Extraordinary Losses, you may submit a Claim Form to receive a pro rata (a legal term meaning an equal share) payment from the net Settlement Fund, which is $8,800,000 minus payment of Administrative Costs of the settlement including the costs of the Notice Program and Claims Administration, any Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses Award of up to $2,930,000, any Service Awards of up to $2,500 for each to the Representative Plaintiffs, and payments for claims for Ordinary Losses, credit monitoring, and Extraordinary Losses. Please note that if costs of the settlement, fees and expenses, Service Awards and payments for claims exceed the Settlement Fund, you may receive no payment if you select this category.
Credit Monitoring – In addition to payment for any Ordinary Losses, Extraordinary Losses, or an alternative cash payment, you may elect to receive three years of free three-bureau credit monitoring through Kroll Credit Monitoring.
