Proof Required?
BMS Holdings (BMS CAT), a disaster restoration and property services company, is facing a class action lawsuit over a data breach that exposed sensitive employee information. The company has agreed to an $825,000 settlement to resolve claims that it failed to adequately protect personal data from unauthorized access. If you were an employee of BMS CAT and received a notification that your personal information was compromised in the breach, you may be entitled to compensation. The settlement offers two paths to payment: a straightforward cash payment of around $100 with no documentation required, or a larger reimbursement of up to $5,000 if you can show documented losses tied to the breach. The deadline to file a claim is July 8, 2026, so there's still time to see if you qualify and submit your claim. Keep reading to find out exactly who's eligible and how to get started.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You are a current or former employee of BMS CAT (BMS Holdings)
  • Your personal information was affected by the BMS CAT data breach
  • You received a data breach notification letter from BMS Holdings
  • You are a U.S. resident who was employed by BMS CAT during the relevant period covered by the breach

How Much Can You Get?

The $825,000 settlement fund gives eligible employees two options for compensation. If you don't have documentation of out-of-pocket losses, you can claim an approximate $100 cash payment — a simpler, faster route that requires less paperwork. If the breach caused you real financial harm — such as costs for credit monitoring, identity theft recovery, or fraudulent charges — you can file for up to $5,000 in documented reimbursement. To claim this higher amount, you'll need to provide receipts, bank statements, or other records showing your actual losses were connected to the BMS CAT breach. Your final payout may vary depending on how many valid claims are submitted.
