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:
- Americold notified you that your Private Information was impacted in the 2020 and/or 2023 Data Incidents — the class is defined by that notification
- The incidents involved current and former Americold employees and job applicants, not customers
- No receipts are needed for the residual cash payment; the administrator identifies which incident(s) you were notified of
How Much Did It Pay?
From a $5,250,000 fund, after court-approved fees, costs, and credit-monitoring expenses: a Residual Cash Payment estimated at $200 if you were notified of both the 2020 and 2023 incidents, or $100 if you were notified of one. Unreimbursed documented losses tied to the breaches are payable up to $25,000. Class members may also elect three years of credit monitoring in addition to the cash they claim.How this claim was filed
