Proof Required?
Globe Life's data breach settlement has an unusual floor: even class members who never file anything get two years of credit monitoring. The case is In re American Income Life Insurance Co. and Globe Life Inc. Data Breach Litigation, No. 6:25-cv-00262, in the Western District of Texas, over an October 2024 incident that reached customers' names, Social Security numbers, and health insurance information. The insurers deny wrongdoing. You're in the class if Globe Life or American Income Life sent you a breach notice letter. Cash requires a claim by October 19, 2026, and there are two kinds that stack: documented losses up to $5,000, and lost time at $18 an hour for up to four hours β€” $72 β€” which only takes self-certifying that you spent the time dealing with the breach. The cash pool is capped at $3.4 million, and the companies pay administration and attorneys' fees separately rather than out of it. The credit monitoring, two years of Cyex Financial Shield Complete, comes to every class member who doesn't opt out, claim or no claim. Opting out and objecting run later than the claim deadline β€” November 16, 2026 β€” and the final approval hearing is December 14 in Waco.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • Globe Life Inc. or American Income Life Insurance Company sent you a letter saying your Personal Information may have been exposed in the October 2024 Data Incident β€” the class is defined by that notice
  • The incident potentially involved current and former customers' names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and health-related and health insurance policy information
  • No documentation is needed for the lost-time payment or the credit monitoring

How Much Can You Get?

From a cash pool of up to $3,400,000: documented losses reimburse up to $5,000 per member (Cash Payment A), and lost time pays $18 per hour for up to four hours β€” $72 β€” on a self-certification, no receipts (Cash Payment B). The two stack. Separately, every class member who does not opt out receives two years of Cyex Financial Shield Complete credit monitoring without filing anything, and the defendants pay administration costs and attorneys' fees outside the cash pool.

How to File Your Claim

File with the administrator:

  • Submit the Claim Form online at the official settlement site or mail it postmarked by October 19, 2026 β€” required only for the cash payments
  • For lost time, select Cash Payment B on the form and self-certify the hours (up to four at $18); for documented losses, attach records supporting up to $5,000
  • The credit monitoring needs no claim β€” activation codes go to all class members after final approval; opt-out and objections are due November 16, 2026, and the hearing is December 14, 2026 in Waco

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deadline to file a claim for the Globe Life & American Income Life $3.4M Data Breach Settlement?

The current deadline to file a claim is Oct 19, 2026. Claims sent by mail must be postmarked by this date, so allow about a week for delivery if you are not filing online.

Do I need proof of purchase for the Globe Life & American Income Life $3.4M Data Breach Settlement?

No proof of purchase is required β€” you can typically file based on a sworn statement, without receipts, photos, or product packaging. You also do not need a Claimant ID or PIN to file.

How do I file a claim for the Globe Life & American Income Life $3.4M Data Breach Settlement?

File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.

How much does the Globe Life data breach settlement pay?

Up to $5,000 for documented losses plus up to $72 for lost time (four hours at $18, self-certified β€” no receipts), from a cash pool of up to $3.4 million. All class members who stay in also get two years of Cyex credit monitoring, even without filing a claim.

Who is in the Globe Life / American Income Life settlement?

Anyone who received a letter from Globe Life or American Income Life saying their personal information may have been exposed in the data incident of about October 2, 2024. The exposed data potentially included Social Security numbers and health insurance information; the companies deny wrongdoing.

Do I need to file a claim to get the credit monitoring?

No. Every settlement class member who does not opt out receives two years of Cyex Financial Shield Complete β€” the claim form is only for the cash payments. Doing nothing still forfeits the cash and releases your claims, so the lost-time payment is worth the few minutes.

What are the deadlines in the Globe Life settlement?

Claims are due October 19, 2026, online or postmarked. Opting out and objecting close later, on November 16, 2026, and the final approval hearing is December 14, 2026 in Waco, Texas.
