Anyone who received a data breach notification from American International College is likely eligible. This typically includes current and former students, employees, and others whose personal information was stored in AIC's systems and potentially exposed in the breach.
You can receive up to $5,000 if you have documented out-of-pocket losses caused by the breach, such as fraud-related expenses or identity theft costs. If you don't have documented losses, you can still receive a smaller pro rata cash payment from the settlement fund, plus potential access to credit monitoring services.
It depends on which compensation tier you're claiming. To receive the higher reimbursement of up to $5,000, you'll likely need documentation such as bank statements or receipts showing your losses. For the pro rata cash payment, you may only need your notification letter or account information to verify your eligibility. Having your breach notification letter on hand is strongly recommended.
The claim filing deadline is July 22, 2026. Make sure to submit your claim before this date to be eligible for compensation.
The specific types of data exposed have not been fully detailed in publicly available settlement information. However, data breaches at colleges and universities commonly involve names, Social Security numbers, financial information, and other personally identifiable information. Check your breach notification letter for details about what data of yours was affected.
