Proof Required?
Fort Wayne Medical Education Program's breach settlement sorts you into one of two groups before you ever file: if your Social Security number was in the compromised files, you can claim two years of financial fraud monitoring; if it wasn't, you get medical identity monitoring instead β€” the kind that watches your insurance ID and medical record number. Either way there's cash. The case is In re Fort Wayne Medical Education Program Data Incident Litigation, No. 02D02-2510-CE-000038, in the Superior Court for Allen County, Indiana, over a December 2024 cyberattack that reached personal and health information. FWMEP denies wrongdoing. The easy money is the lost-time payment: up to four hours at $20 an hour, $80, for time you can briefly describe spending on the breach β€” password changes, checking accounts. Documented out-of-pocket costs return up to $500, and documented identity-theft losses up to $5,000. The class is everyone on the settlement's list, notified by mail starting August 28, and the administrator already knows which group you're in. Everything shares one deadline: October 27, 2026 β€” claims, opt-outs, objections. The final approval hearing is December 7 in Allen County.
