Filing as Part of the Claim

If you were affected by the 2017 breach, you needed to file a claim to be part of the class action lawsuit to get some of the settlement money (in theory, but more that later). However, the big catch is that the deadline to file the initial claim was January 22, 2020, which means it’s now too late to qualify.

In other words, if you haven’t already become part of the claim, it’s too late to get anything now. Other lawsuits focus on identify theft, so if you have suffered from identity theft related to this security breach, you may be able to enroll in additional claims until 2024. If this sounds like your situation, take a look at the FTC website for more information and how to sign up. Granted, you will have to wait at least four years for an as-yet nebulous payment amount, but at least you’ll be ready.
