Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received a data breach notification letter from Central Valley Meat Co. informing you that your personal information may have been exposed
  • Your personal data — such as your name, Social Security number, financial account information, or other sensitive details — was potentially compromised in the breach
  • You are a current or former employee, customer, or business contact of Central Valley Meat Co. whose information was stored in the affected systems
  • You reside in the United States and were affected by the breach during the relevant time period outlined in the settlement

How Much Can You Get?

Eligible claimants may receive up to $5,075 depending on the type and extent of harm they experienced. The settlement likely offers tiered compensation — smaller flat-rate payments for all affected individuals, and larger reimbursements for those who can document out-of-pocket losses directly tied to the breach, such as fraudulent charges, credit monitoring costs, or time spent dealing with identity theft issues. Even if you haven't experienced direct financial harm, you may still qualify for a base payment simply for having your data exposed. Claimants with documented losses related to the breach stand to receive the higher end of the payout range. Specific payout tiers and final amounts will depend on the total number of valid claims submitted.
