Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You reside in the United States and Equinox sent you a notice that your Private Information may have been impacted in the April 2024 Data Incident — the class is defined by that notice
- The impacted data ranged from names and Social Security numbers to health insurance, medical treatment and diagnosis, medication, and patient ID information
- No receipts are needed for the estimated $100 pro rata payment or the credit monitoring — documentation only backs loss claims
How Much Can You Get?
From a $685,000 settlement fund, in a fixed distribution order: documented monetary losses first (up to $5,000 per member, for losses between April 29, 2024 and October 23, 2026), then three years of credit monitoring (one-bureau monitoring, dark-web scanning, $1 million identity-theft insurance, and managed identity recovery), then pro rata cash payments estimated at $100 — adjusted up or down on an equal percentage basis by claim volume. Benefits stack; claim any combination.How to File Your Claim
File with the administrator:
- Submit a Claim Form online at the official settlement site or postmarked by October 23, 2026 — it is the only way to receive any benefit, including the credit monitoring
- Select at least one benefit on the form: documented losses (attach supporting documents), the pro rata cash payment, and/or credit monitoring (activation codes arrive within 30 days of the effective date)
- The opt-out and objection deadlines passed on September 23, 2026; the final approval hearing is November 12, 2026
