TRC Staffing Services Data Breach Settlement

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

• You live in the United States and TRC Staffing sent you a Notice Letter saying your private information may have been compromised. That letter is the whole test for class membership.
• The incident ran from on or about March 25, 2024 through on or about April 12, 2024. The administrator’s own page gives the start date as March 24 in one place and March 25 in another, so do not use the exact day to rule yourself in or out.
• It reached protected health information as well as identity data — the administrator describes personally identifiable information and protected health information, including but not limited to names and Social Security numbers. A staffing agency holding medical records is not obvious until you think about placement paperwork.
• TRC places temporary and contract staff, so the affected group is largely people who handed over a Social Security number to get work rather than customers who bought something.

How Much Can You Get?

$1,700,000 into a Settlement Fund, and both the administration costs and the attorneys’ fees come out of it before anyone is paid. Class counsel is asking for up to one third, which is $566,666.67, plus litigation costs and expenses.

Option 1: documented losses, and/or lost time. Up to $5,000 for unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs fairly traceable to the incident, and/or up to four hours of lost time at $20 an hour, which caps that part at $80. The two can be combined.

Option 2: an Alternative Pro Rata Cash Payment of up to $200, with no documentation required. “Up to” is doing work there — the amount is adjusted pro rata against the approved documented claims.

Trying for Option 1 cannot leave you with nothing. If you claim documented losses without reasonable documentation, or the administrator rejects the claim for any reason and you do not cure it, the settlement provides that it “will be considered a claim for an Alternative Pro Rata Cash Payment” instead. A rejected lost-time claim converts the same way. That is the opposite of how most breach settlements treat a failed claim.

What counts as documentation: third-party records such as receipts. Self-prepared documents like a handwritten receipt are not enough on their own, though they can support other evidence. A lost-time claim needs a description of what you actually spent the time on rather than receipts.

How to File Your Claim

File with the administrator:

• The online claim form is not working at the moment. A notice at the top of trcdatasettlement.com says the site is temporarily unable to process claim forms submitted through the online interface, and asks people to file by mail or call instead. The site was entirely offline on November 5 and 6, 2026.
• File by mail or by phone in the meantime. Call (833) 930-0160 to have a representative help, or post a paper claim form to In re TRC Staffing Services, Inc. Data Breach Litigation, c/o Kroll Settlement Administration, PO Box 5324, New York, NY 10150-5324.
• The deadline has not moved: December 22, 2026, submitted online or postmarked by that date. A broken website is not an extension, so do not wait for it to be fixed.
• Opting out or objecting closes December 7, 2026, two weeks before the claim deadline. You can object and still file a claim.
• Final approval hearing is January 6, 2027 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern, at the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, 75 Ted Turner Drive SW, Atlanta.
• The case is In re TRC Staffing Services, Inc. Data Breach Litigation, Case No. 1:24-cv-02398-VMC, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The plaintiffs allege negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment and violations of Georgia statutes. TRC denies all of it.
