Attention, Americans! If you've ever felt the sting of a data breach, now's the time to sit up and take notice.
A substantial settlement has been reached, and you might just be entitled to a piece of the pie. We're talking about a cool $1.6 million up for grabs, and claiming your share could be simpler than you think. Are you eligible?
In 2022, a data breach rattled the cages of over 8,500 individuals, compromising their sensitive information.
The culprit? Nonstop Administration and Insurance Services, now accused of not safeguarding their clients' data adequately.
The breach led to a class action lawsuit filed in San Francisco in 2023, alleging that the company left such data “unprotected,” paving the way for a “massive and preventable cyber attack.”

The lawsuit claims that although the Nonstop Administration discovered the breach in December 2022, it wasn't until February 22, 2023, that the victims were informed.
Fast forward to the present, and the company has agreed to a $1.6 million settlement without admitting any wrongdoing.
If your protected information was compromised in the breach, you're in line for compensation.
The settlement fund will be distributed with priority given to those who have suffered out-of-pocket losses.
If you've faced bank fees, charges related to identity theft, fraud, or misuse of personal information, you could claim up to $5,000.
To do so, you'll need to provide evidence such as account statements, invoices, or credit reports.
Even if you haven't suffered direct financial losses, you could still be eligible for an alternative cash payment, estimated at around $50. This amount may vary depending on the number of claims filed.
Golden State residents, take note! If you lived in California between December 22, 2022, and February 12, 2025, you could claim an additional $100 under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Just make sure you have proof of address to claim this extra payment.
Ready to claim what's yours? You'll need to act fast. All claims must be submitted by February 12, 2025.
The deadline for exclusion and objection has already passed on January 13, 2025.
If you're eligible and didn't object, you must file a claim to receive any money and to retain your right to legal action against the company regarding this complaint.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for March 18, 2025. After this date, payments will be processed and distributed to those who've filed their claims.
Meanwhile, if you've been a client of the Hapy Bear Surgery Center in California, you might also be eligible for a $8,050 payout. Here's how to file your claim.
