First Financial Security Data Breach Settlement — $1.2M
By the Class Action Buddy Editorial Team · Last reviewed August 11, 2026 · ✓ verified against https://firstfinancialsettlement.com
This settlement’s claims window has closed. The deadline to submit a Claim Form was 20 July 2026. The page is kept as a record of what it covered.
It resolves Yvette Price v. First Financial Security, et al., Case No. 2:24-cv-10985-MCS-RAO, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
One date on the settlement website is easy to misread. A September 18, 2026 deadline appears there, but that is the deadline to exclude yourself from the class — not to file a claim. The claim deadline was July 20.
Looking for a settlement you can still file?
This one is closed, but our 60-second eligibility quiz finds the ones that are still open.
Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
The class was people notified of the First Financial Security data incident. The claims window has closed, so eligibility no longer allows a cash claim.
One benefit did not depend on filing a claim form: class members were issued an enrollment code for two years of CyEx Medical Shield with credit monitoring, which becomes active on final approval of the settlement. If you kept your notice, you kept that code.
How Much Did It Pay?
The cash benefit was reimbursement of up to $500, claimed on the Claim Form.
Two deductions are published:
- Attorneys’ fees not to exceed $396,000, plus reasonable costs and expenses of the litigation.
- A service award of $5,000 to the named plaintiff.
We are not quoting a final per-person figure, because payment depended on the number of approved claims and we have not verified the distribution against the administrator’s final report.
How this claim was filed
This settlement is closed, so the steps below are kept for reference only — they no longer lead anywhere you can file.
There is no longer a claim to file. The Claim Form deadline was 20 July 2026, whether online or postmarked.
If you filed in time, payment follows final approval of the settlement and the resolution of any appeals; the claims administrator named on the official website is the only body that can confirm your status.
If you received an enrollment code for the CyEx Medical Shield credit monitoring, that benefit activates on final approval and does not depend on having filed a cash claim.
