Proof Required?
EMS LINQ, a software company that serves school districts and educational organizations, experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive personal information belonging to students, staff, and families. A class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of those whose data was compromised, and a settlement has now been reached to compensate affected individuals. If your personal information was involved in the EMS LINQ data breach, you may be entitled to a flat $50 cash payment — no documentation required — or up to $3,000 if you can show out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach. On top of that, all eligible claimants can receive one full year of three-bureau credit monitoring to help protect their identity going forward. The deadline to file a claim is June 29, 2026, so there's still time to see if you qualify and get what you're owed. Class Action Buddy can walk you through the process quickly and easily.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received a notice from EMS LINQ informing you that your personal information was affected by a data breach
  • Your data was stored in EMS LINQ's systems at the time of the breach — this may include students, parents, guardians, or school district employees
  • You are a U.S. resident who was impacted by the breach during the relevant time period
  • You have not already opted out of or excluded yourself from this class action settlement

How Much Can You Get?

There are two ways to get compensated through this settlement. The simplest option is a flat $50 cash payment, which is available to all eligible claimants — no receipts or documentation needed. If the breach caused you real financial harm, such as fraudulent charges, identity theft costs, or time spent dealing with the fallout, you can file for up to $3,000 in documented losses instead. All qualifying claimants also receive one year of free three-bureau credit monitoring (covering Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) regardless of which payout option they choose. Keep in mind that if a large number of people file claims, individual payouts may be adjusted. The claim deadline is June 29, 2026.

How to File Your Claim

Filing your claim is quick and easy:

  • Check if you received a data breach notification letter or email from EMS LINQ — this is your primary proof of eligibility
  • Gather any documentation of out-of-pocket losses if you plan to claim more than the flat $50 payment (receipts, bank statements, records of time spent, etc.)
  • Visit the official settlement website to complete and submit your claim form before June 29, 2026
  • Choose your preferred payout: the $50 flat payment or a documented loss claim of up to $3,000
