unable to locate their ID & PIN should contact the email provided and provide their full name and address for assistance.
For claims requiring documentation, individuals should provide proof of their losses, such as receipts, bank statements, or other relevant documents. While explanatory notes can supplement this evidence, they are not sufficient on their own.
Those opting for the alternative cash payment of $40 do not need to provide any documentation to support their claim.
When it comes to receiving the settlement funds, class members have a variety of payout options to choose from, including PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, virtual prepaid cards, or traditional paper checks.
The $775,000 settlement fund is divided into various categories, including administration costs, attorneys’ fees and costs, service awards for class representatives, and payments to eligible class members. The remaining funds will be distributed among the class members who file valid claims by the deadline.
Key dates to remember include the deadline to opt-out of the settlement by September 30, 2025, the deadline to file a claim by October 15, 2025, and the final approval hearing scheduled for October 30, 2025. Following the final approval, the settlement administrator anticipates distributing payments after December 15, 2025.
The class action lawsuit stemmed from a targeted cyberattack on US Claims Capital LLC’s systems in January 2025, which potentially exposed sensitive personal information. While US Claims denies any wrongdoing, they opted to settle the case to avoid the uncertainties and costs associated with prolonged litigation.
Overall, individuals affected by the US Claims Capital data incident have the opportunity to seek compensation through the class action settlement. Whether they suffered financial losses due to identity theft or simply want to claim the alternative cash payment, affected individuals are encouraged to file a claim before the October 15, 2025 deadline to potentially receive a portion of the $775,000 settlement fund.
