Proof Required?
Steel Warehouse is a steel processor in Indiana, so most people in this settlement are employees, former employees or business contacts rather than customers. Eligibility runs off a Class List the administrator holds, which is a narrower test than a notice letter. Three cash routes are on offer. Documented out-of-pocket losses are reimbursed up to $5,000 against receipts. Time spent dealing with the incident pays up to three hours at $20 an hour, capped at $60. A flat $40 replaces either if you would rather not dig anything out. Credit monitoring is available alongside the cash rather than instead of it. The case is In re: Steel Warehouse Data Incident Litigation, heard in the Indiana Commercial Court in St. Joseph County. Claims close December 1, 2026.

  • You appear on the Class List. Eligibility runs off the administrator’s list rather than a notice letter, which is a narrower test.
  • Your personal identifying information may have been compromised in the incident.
  • Employees and business contacts are the likely route in — Steel Warehouse is a steel processor, not a consumer brand.

How Much Can You Get?

Documented out-of-pocket losses up to $5,000 against receipts.

Lost time: up to three hours at $20 an hour, capped at $60.
