Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
- You are a United States resident whose Personal Information was potentially compromised in the ABC Legal Services data incident (starting around August 7, 2024, discovered November 2024)
- You are on the Settlement Class List — which includes everyone who received a notice of the incident
- Unsure? The administrator confirms membership at 1-844-482-2656 or info@ABCDataSettlement.com
How Much Did It Pay?
Three stacking benefits from a $2,500,000 fund. A pro rata cash payment estimated at $50 — no documentation needed — that can rise to as much as $450 or shrink, depending on claim volume. Documented out-of-pocket losses traceable to the incident reimburse up to $5,000 per member (self-prepared or handwritten receipts alone are insufficient). And two years of one-bureau IDX credit monitoring with dark-web monitoring and $1 million in identity-theft insurance can be elected in addition.How this claim was filed
