Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received a data breach notification letter from Lee University regarding this incident
  • Your personal information was stored in Lee University's systems and was potentially exposed in the breach
  • You are a current or former student, employee, or other individual whose data was held by Lee University at the time of the breach
  • You experienced out-of-pocket losses, identity theft, or spent time dealing with issues related to the breach

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $1.75 million, which will be distributed among eligible claimants. The exact amount each person receives will depend on the number of valid claims filed and the type of losses documented. Claimants who can show out-of-pocket expenses directly related to the breach — such as costs for credit monitoring, identity theft recovery, or fraudulent charges — may be eligible for higher reimbursement amounts. Basic claims without documented losses may receive a smaller flat payment from the remaining fund. Specific payout tiers and amounts are pending final settlement details.
