Common questions

Plain answers before you file.

Read our guide to filing a claim

How do I know if I'm part of a data breach settlement?

Check the class definition on the official settlement website. Many settlements cover people who were sent a notice that their information was involved in the incident. If you got a notice, keep it, since it may include an ID the claim form asks for.

Do I need proof to file a data breach claim?

It depends on the settlement. Some pay a flat or pro rata amount with no documentation, while payments for out-of-pocket losses or lost time usually need some proof. Each card shows what that settlement asks for.

Is a data breach settlement email a scam?

It could be either. Real settlements send notices, but scammers copy them. Go to the official settlement website directly instead of clicking links, and never pay a fee to file. Filing is always free.

Where do I file?

Only on the official settlement website. Each card links to our detail page and to the official claim form.
