Gándara Data Breach Settlement (2026)
See Details
Proof Required?
Gándara Mental Health Center, a behavioral health provider serving communities across Massachusetts, experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive patient and employee information. As a result of this incident, a class action lawsuit was filed — and the organization has agreed to a $900,000 settlement to compensate those whose personal information may have been compromised.
If you received a notice about the Gándara data breach, or believe your information was stored with Gándara Mental Health Center, you may be eligible to file a claim. Affected individuals can receive either a straightforward $60 flat payment or up to $5,000 if they experienced out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach — plus three years of medical identity monitoring to help protect them going forward.
The deadline to file a claim is July 23, 2026, so it's important to act before time runs out. Filing is free and doesn't require a lawyer.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You received a data breach notification letter from Gándara Mental Health Center
- Your personal information (such as name, Social Security number, medical records, or financial details) was stored by Gándara and potentially exposed in the breach
- You are a current or former patient, employee, or other individual whose data was held by Gándara Mental Health Center at the time of the breach
- You are a U.S. resident who was affected by this specific breach event
How Much Can You Get?
Settlement members have two payout options depending on their situation. If you don't have documented losses from the breach, you can claim a flat $60 payment — no receipts or records needed beyond proof of eligibility. If you experienced real financial harm as a result of the breach (such as fraudulent charges, identity theft costs, or time spent resolving issues), you may be able to claim up to $5,000 in reimbursement for those out-of-pocket losses.
All eligible claimants — regardless of which payment tier they choose — are also entitled to three years of medical identity monitoring services at no cost. This can help protect you if your health-related information was part of the exposure. Payouts come from a total settlement fund of $900,000, and final amounts may vary depending on how many valid claims are submitted.
