Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received a data breach notification letter from Urban One informing you that your personal information was exposed
  • Your personal data — such as your name, contact information, Social Security number, financial details, or other sensitive information — was potentially compromised in the Urban One data incident
  • You are a current or former customer, employee, or other individual whose information was stored in Urban One's systems at the time of the breach
  • You submit your claim by the deadline of August 31, 2026

How Much Can You Get?

Eligible claimants may receive up to $10,000 from the $675,000 settlement fund. The exact amount you receive will depend on the type and extent of harm you experienced as a result of the data breach. Those who can document out-of-pocket losses — such as fraudulent charges, credit monitoring costs, or time spent resolving identity theft issues — may be eligible for higher payouts. Even if you didn't suffer direct financial losses, you may still qualify for a smaller flat-rate payment for the general inconvenience and risk caused by having your personal information exposed. Specific payout tiers and amounts will be confirmed as more settlement details become available.

How to File Your Claim

Filing your claim is quick and easy:

  • Locate the data breach notification letter you received from Urban One — you'll likely need information from it to complete your claim
  • Gather any documentation of losses related to the breach, such as bank statements showing unauthorized charges, receipts for credit monitoring services, or records of time spent addressing identity theft
