Submit a Claim - Claim Instructions
If you are a Settlement Class Member, you may submit a claim for ONE of the following: (1) Reimbursement (“Compensation for Documented Losses”), OR (2) Credit Monitoring (“Credit Monitoring and Insurance Services (CMIS)”), OR (3) Cash Fund Payment. Failure to provide all required information will result in your claim being rejected by the Settlement Administrator.
Compensation for Documented Losses:
Settlement Class Members who submit a valid and timely Claim Form are eligible to receive reimbursement of up to $5,000 per Settlement Class Member for Documented Losses that are reasonably traceable to the Data Breach. These Documented Losses include (a) unreimbursed losses relating to fraud or identity theft; (b) professional fees including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, and fees for credit repair services; (c) costs associated with freezing or unfreezing credit with any credit reporting agency; (d) credit monitoring costs that were incurred on or after November 18, 2022, that you attest were caused or otherwise incurred as a result of the Data Breach; and (e) miscellaneous expenses such as notary, data charges (if charges based on the amount of data used), fax, postage, copying, mileage, cell phone charges (only if charged by the minute), and long-distance telephone charges. You must submit documentation of the Documented Losses as part of your claim for a Documented Loss Payment. This may include receipts or other documentation and may not be “self-prepared.” “Self-prepared” documents such as handwritten receipts are, by themselves, insufficient to receive reimbursement, but may be considered to add clarity or support to other submitted documentation. Class Members who submit a Claim for a Documented Loss Payment will not be entitled to select any of the other Settlement Benefits.
Credit Monitoring and Insurance Services (CMIS):
As an alternative to the Documented Loss Payment or the Cash Fund Payment, Settlement Class Members may elect to claim three (3) years of 3-credit bureau credit monitoring and $1 million in identity theft insurance, irrespective of whether they took advantage of any previous offering of credit monitoring from Wright & Filippis. Class Members who submit a CMIS claim will not be entitled to select any of the other Settlement Benefits.
Cash Fund Payment:
As an alternative to the Documented Loss Payment or the CMIS benefit, Class Members may submit a claim to receive a pro rata Settlement Payment in cash (Cash Fund Payment). Class Members who submit a claim for a Cash Fund Payment will not be entitled to select any of the other Settlement Benefits.
Please read the claim form carefully and answer all questions. Failure to provide required information could result in a denial of your claim.
