Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- Your Private Information was accessed, acquired, disclosed, or compromised in the Palomar Health Medical Group data incident of April 23 to May 5, 2024
- Notice recipients are class members, and the definition turns on the incident itself rather than the letter
- No documentation is needed for the estimated $60 alternative cash payment or the credit monitoring
How Much Can You Get?
From a $3,100,000 fund: either Cash Payment A — up to $5,000 for documented losses related to the incident, with supporting documents and a penalty-of-perjury attestation — or Cash Payment B, an alternative cash payment estimated at $60 with no documentation. The claim form allows one or the other, not both. In addition to either, class members can claim two years of single-bureau credit monitoring with $1,000,000 in identity fraud insurance and dark web monitoring.How to File Your Claim
File with the administrator:
- Submit a Claim Form online at the official settlement site or postmarked by October 22, 2026 — the only way to receive any benefit
- Choose Cash Payment A (attach documentation) or Cash Payment B (no documents), and tick the credit monitoring if you want it — a valid email is required for the monitoring enrollment
- Opt-outs and objections are due October 7, 2026; the final approval hearing is November 6, 2026 in San Diego
