Take our 60-second eligibility quiz to find every settlement you qualify for — including this one.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You are a living individual in the United States and were notified that your Private Information was potentially compromised in the August 2025 University of Hawai'i data incident — the notice defines the class
- Excluded: the presiding judges and their close family, the university and its officers and Regents, and anyone who validly opts out
- No documentation is needed for the estimated $50 alternate payment or the medical data monitoring
How Much Can You Get?
From a $3,500,000 settlement fund: either Cash Payment A — up to $5,000 for documented extraordinary losses from fraud or identity theft reasonably traceable to the incident — or Cash Payment B, an alternate payment estimated at $50 that rises or falls pro rata with the net fund. One or the other, not both. In addition to either, class members can enroll in one year of CyEx Medical Data Monitoring.How to File Your Claim
File with the administrator:
- Submit a Claim Form online at the official settlement site or by mail by November 2, 2026 — the only way to receive any benefit
- Choose documented losses (attach records tracing the fraud to the incident) or the alternate $50 payment, and add the medical data monitoring if you want it
- Note the order: opting out and objecting close earlier, on October 19, 2026, and the final approval hearing is November 4, 2026

An estimated $50 with no documentation, or up to $5,000 for documented losses from fraud or identity theft traceable to the breach — one or the other, from a $3.5 million fund. A year of CyEx medical data monitoring comes in addition to either payment.
