This one is closed, but our 60-second eligibility quiz finds the ones that are still open.
Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
- You received a notice from E Benefit Solution about the December 2024 data incident
- Your personal information was exposed or potentially exposed as part of the E Benefit Solution data breach
- You are a current or former customer, employee, or individual whose data was held by E Benefit Solution at the time of the breach
- You are a U.S. resident who was included in the company's breach notification
How Much Did It Pay?
There are two ways to get paid from this settlement. The simplest option is a flat $40 cash payment — and you don't need any documentation or proof to claim it. If you spent money dealing with the aftermath of the breach (think credit monitoring services you purchased, time spent resolving fraud, or other out-of-pocket costs), you can submit documentation and claim up to $5,000. All eligible claimants — regardless of which cash option they choose — can also enroll in two years of free credit monitoring as part of the settlement. This is a meaningful benefit given that data breaches can have long-lasting effects on your financial identity.How this claim was filed
