Proof Required?
American International College (AIC) is facing a class action settlement related to a data breach that exposed the personal information of students, staff, or others connected to the college. If your data was compromised in this breach, you may be entitled to compensation — including up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses, or a pro rata cash payment even if you didn't suffer specific financial harm. Data breaches like this one can expose sensitive personal information such as names, Social Security numbers, financial account details, or other private records. The settlement is designed to compensate those affected and provide tools — like credit monitoring — to help protect them going forward. The deadline to file a claim is July 22, 2026, so there's still time to check if you qualify and submit your claim. Class Action Buddy can walk you through the process quickly and easily.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received a data breach notification letter from American International College about the incident
  • Your personal information was stored in AIC's systems and was potentially exposed during the breach
  • You are a current or former student, employee, faculty member, or other individual whose data was held by AIC
  • You are a U.S. resident who was affected by the breach during the relevant time period

How Much Can You Get?

Settlement members may be eligible for two types of compensation. If you experienced out-of-pocket losses — such as bank fees, credit monitoring costs, or time spent dealing with fraud — you can claim up to $5,000 in reimbursement, provided you have documentation to support your losses. This is the higher-value tier of the settlement. Even if you didn't suffer specific financial harm, you may still qualify for a pro rata cash payment, meaning the remaining settlement funds are divided among all valid claimants. The exact amount of this payment will depend on how many people file claims. All settlement members may also be eligible for credit monitoring services to help protect their identity going forward.
