Proof Required?
Tift Regional Health System's data breach settlement pays an expected $75 with no proof β€” and unusually, the settlement site says it outright: a significant amount of money is expected to remain in the fund, and everyone who claims the alternative payment splits it equally. The case is In re Tift Regional Health System, Inc. Data Breach Litigation, No. 2023CV0313, in the Superior Court for Tift County, Georgia, against Tift and Southwell over an August 2022 cyberattack that reached names, Social Security numbers, and medical information. Tift denies wrongdoing. The class is everyone in Tift's records who was affected β€” notices went out in July 2026. You choose one cash path: documented losses up to $5,000 with receipts, or the no-proof $75 pro rata payment that can grow or shrink with claim volume. Either way, every class member can also enroll in two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, medical identity monitoring with a million dollars of insurance behind it, from the $1.2 million fund. Claims are due October 15, 2026, online or by mail. The opt-out and objection windows closed September 15, and the final approval hearing was held September 14.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • Tift Regional Health System's records identify you as affected by the August 2022 data security incident β€” notices were mailed July 17, 2026
  • The accessed files may have contained names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and medical information
  • No proof is needed for the expected $75 alternative payment; unsure members can call the administrator 24/7 at (833) 421-7345

How Much Can You Get?

From a $1,200,000 fund (fees, service awards, and administration paid first): either a Documented Loss Payment of up to $5,000 with receipts β€” for losses between August 11, 2022 and October 15, 2026 β€” or an Alternative Cash Payment expected to be $75, no proof required, paid pro rata from the money remaining after expenses and other benefits. The site itself expects a significant surplus for that split, though the amount moves with claim volume. All class members can also enroll in two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete with $1 million in medical identity theft insurance.

An alternative cash payment expected to be $75 with no proof, or up to $5,000 for documented losses β€” one or the other.
