American International College Data Breach Settlement
By the Class Action Buddy Editorial Team · Last reviewed June 29, 2026
Looking for a settlement you can still file?
This one is closed, but our 60-second eligibility quiz finds the ones that are still open.
Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
- 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 Did It Pay?
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.How this claim was filed
