Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received a notice from Schuster Company informing you that your personal information was involved in the January 2024 data breach
  • Your sensitive personal data — such as your name, Social Security number, financial information, or other private details — was potentially exposed
  • You are a current or former customer, employee, or other individual whose data was stored by Schuster Company at the time of the breach
  • You are a U.S. resident whose information was compromised in the breach

How Much Can You Get?

Settlement members may be eligible to receive up to $2,500 in cash compensation. This amount is typically intended to reimburse out-of-pocket losses you can connect to the data breach — things like fraudulent charges, credit monitoring costs you paid for on your own, or time spent dealing with the aftermath of the breach. Even if you didn't experience direct financial loss, you may still be eligible for a smaller base payment. In addition to cash compensation, the settlement also provides access to credit monitoring services to help you keep an eye on your personal information going forward. The exact amount each person receives will depend on the number of valid claims filed and the specific losses you document, so it's worth submitting a claim even if your losses seem minor.

How to File Your Claim

Filing your claim is quick and easy:

  • Check your email or mail for a data breach notification letter from Schuster Company — this is your key evidence that you're eligible
  • Gather any documentation of out-of-pocket losses related to the breach, such as bank statements, receipts for credit monitoring services, or records of time spent addressing fraud
  • Locate your unique claim ID or notice ID if one was included in your breach notification letter
