Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received a data breach notification letter from Berman & Rabin informing you that your personal information may have been compromised
  • Your personal information was stored in Berman & Rabin's systems at the time of the breach
  • You are a U.S. resident whose data was exposed as part of the Berman & Rabin data breach incident
  • You have not previously opted out of or excluded yourself from this class action settlement

How Much Can You Get?

Eligible claimants can receive up to $3,500 from the $980,000 settlement fund. The exact amount you receive will depend on the type of losses you can document — for example, out-of-pocket expenses related to the breach, time spent dealing with the aftermath, or in some cases, a flat payment simply for being affected, even without documented losses. Typically in data breach settlements like this one, claimants who provide documentation of actual financial harm or identity theft-related losses receive larger payouts, while those submitting without supporting documentation may receive a smaller base payment. Final payout amounts may also be adjusted depending on the total number of valid claims submitted.
