Proof Required?
Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences had an intruder in its systems for two weeks in late summer 2024, between August 31 and September 14. Anyone in the United States whose private information was caught up in that window is covered by the settlement. What makes this one worth a few minutes is that it pays three different ways and you are not forced into a single choice. Credit monitoring comes with one or more of the cash options rather than instead of them. Documented losses go up to $5,000 if you can evidence what the incident cost you. Time counts too: up to four hours at $20 an hour, capped at $80, for hours you spent sorting it out. If neither is worth the paperwork, a flat $25 replaces both. The case is Levin v. Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Albany County, New York. Claims close November 16, 2026.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • Anyone in the United States whose private information was potentially impacted by the incident affecting ACPHS systems between August 31 and September 14, 2024.
  • Students, staff and alumni are the usual routes in for a college breach.

How Much Can You Get?

Documented losses up to $5,000, traceable to the incident and evidenced.

Lost time: up to four hours at $20 an hour, capped at $80, for time spent responding.

Or a flat $25 in place of either, with no paperwork.

Credit monitoring comes alongside the cash, not instead of it.

How to File Your Claim

File with the administrator:

  • Pick the route that matches what the incident cost you. Real money out of pocket points to the documented claim; hours spent on the phone point to lost time; neither points to the flat $25.
  • File at albanycollegesettlement.com.
  • The deadline is November 16, 2026.
  • The case is Levin, et al. v. Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Supreme Court of Albany County, New York, Index No. 906277-25.

The current deadline to file a claim is Nov 16, 2026. Claims sent by mail must be postmarked by this date, so allow about a week for delivery if you are not filing online.

How do I file a claim for the Albany College of Pharmacy Data Breach Settlement?

File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. You do not need a Claimant ID or PIN to file.

Can I claim credit monitoring as well as cash?

Yes. The monitoring is offered with one or more of the cash options rather than as an alternative to them.

Is the flat $25 worth taking?

If you had no out-of-pocket costs and did not spend hours on it, yes — it needs no evidence. If you spent four hours sorting it out, the lost-time claim pays $80 instead.
