Proof Required?
YES Communities' data breach settlement gives residents three cash lanes and the simplest one pays $50 flat, no paperwork. The manufactured-home operator's network was breached over three days in December 2024 — hackers in the systems December 9 through 11 — and the resulting case, O'Leary v. YES Communities, No. 1:25-cv-69, sits in the District of Colorado. YES denies all wrongdoing, and the class is everyone in the US or its territories who got a breach notice. The lanes: documented fraud losses up to $2,500, plus attested lost time at $20 an hour for up to four hours — those two stack — or a flat $50 alternate payment instead of both. Credit monitoring through IDX comes on top of any cash choice, even if you already took a monitoring product after the breach, and YES pays administration costs separately. File online with the Claim Number and PIN from your postcard, or use the downloadable paper form. Claims are due November 5, 2026. Opting out or objecting closes October 21, and the fairness hearing is November 20.

How Much Can You Get?

Three cash lanes: documented fraud or identity-theft losses up to $2,500 (actual, unreimbursed, more likely than not caused by the incident) plus attested lost time at $20 per hour for up to four hours — $80 — which stack together; or a flat $50 alternate payment with no documentation instead of both. IDX one-bureau credit monitoring comes in addition to any cash choice, even for members who already accepted a monitoring product, and YES Communities pays administration costs separately.
