Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
The class is people whose personal information was accessed by an unauthorized third party in the STIIIZY breach. California class members receive an additional payment that class members elsewhere do not — California’s privacy statute provides for it.
If no notice reached you but you believe you were affected, ask the administrator to check you against the class list rather than assuming you are out.
How Much Did It Pay?
Here is the arithmetic, because the $2.95 million headline is not what claimants share. The administrator publishes the deductions, so they can be totalled:
- Attorneys’ fees — up to $737,500, which is 25% of the fund.
- Litigation expenses — currently estimated at $30,000.
- Administration costs — expected to be approximately $280,840.
- Plus service awards, the cost of the credit monitoring, and any documented-loss payments.
Those three published figures alone come to $1,048,340, leaving roughly $1.9 million before service awards, credit monitoring and documented losses are taken out. Whatever survives all of that is divided pro rata among everyone who filed a valid claim.
Two claim routes: a documented loss claim of up to $7,500 if you can evidence what the breach cost you, or a pro-rata cash payment requiring no documentation at all. The settlement has a sensible safeguard here — if you choose the documented route and your proven losses turn out to be less than the pro-rata payment, you automatically receive the larger pro-rata amount instead.
We will not quote you a per-person figure. The pro-rata share is a division whose denominator is the number of approved claims, and that number does not exist until the window closes.
How this claim was filed
This settlement is closed, so the steps below are kept for reference only — they no longer lead anywhere you can file.
File through the official settlement website, StiiizyDataBreachSettlement.com. The no-documentation cash option takes a few minutes; the documented-loss option needs the records that tie a cost to the breach.
Also worth claiming: two years of credit monitoring across all three bureaus, fraud consultation, up to $1,000,000 of identity theft insurance and identity theft restoration. If you already have credit monitoring, you may defer enrollment by 12 months at no extra charge rather than waste the overlap.
The deadline to object or opt out was 26 August 2026, and any objection had to include the case name and number. The final approval hearing is 19 October 2026.

How much will the STIIIZY settlement actually pay me?
There is no fixed amount for the cash option. Of the $2,950,000 fund, up to $737,500 goes to attorneys' fees, about $30,000 to expenses and about $280,840 to administration, before service awards, credit monitoring and documented-loss payments.

Should I claim documented losses or the cash payment?
Claim documented losses if you can evidence more than the likely pro-rata share, up to the $7,500 cap. You are protected either way: if your proven losses come to less than the pro-rata payment, the settlement gives you the larger pro-rata amount automatically.
