Final days for Americans to claim up to $4.4k as part of data breach settlement – but you may have to show phone bill

If a significant data breach exposed your personal information, you have a limited amount of time to claim up to $4,400.

If you were informed of the Green Valley Pecan Company’s data breach in May 2022, you might be eligible for compensation for your losses.

However, you will have to move quickly and may be required to present certain documents, including your phone bill.

Green Valley, a pecan manufacturer in Arizona, was accused of not protecting personal data during the cyberattack.

The business has consented to a settlement to address these allegations, even though it denies any misconduct.

expenditures incurred out of pocket, such as bank fees, phone charges, travel expenditures, and up to three hours of missed time compensated at $15 per hour, can total up to $400 for claimants.

Individuals who had more serious consequences, such identity theft or fraud, are eligible to receive an extra $4,000 for unusual losses.

You will require proof of expenses in order to submit your claim. Phone bills, bank statements, gas receipts, credit reports, and fraud claims are a few examples of this.

Additionally, two years of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection—including $1 million in identity theft insurance—will be provided to all claimants.

Claims must be submitted by Monday, December 16, 2024.

Don’t pass up the opportunity to get paid for your losses. Visit FICODataSettlement.com, the official settlement website, to obtain the claim form and further information.

It comes as thousands more Americans are being encouraged to see if they qualify for up to $2,000 in out-of-court settlement payouts.

For people impacted by the class action case, this is their last opportunity to apply for the money; all they need is a simple receipt.

According to reports, Pinnacle Propane, a supplier of propane for homes and businesses, neglected to safeguard customer data from a data breach that occurred in September 2023.

According to the lawsuit, some of the company’s current and former workers’ names, addresses, and Social Security numbers were leaked due to a cyber security breach.

Additionally, the business may have avoided the cyberattack by implementing additional security procedures and checks.

The business agreed to settle the claim by paying an undisclosed sum, but denied any wrongdoing.

Class members may be compensated up to $2,000 in proved extraordinary losses for damages and $240 in wasted time under the terms of the settlement.

Members of the class who do not have any recorded expenses may choose to be paid $100 in cash instead.

They have until December 13 to turn in their claims.

All you have to do to get the money is provide account statements and any documentation of losses resulting from the data breach, including credit reports, bills, invoices, or receipts.
