The HopSkipDrive class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on December 15, 2025 and covers approximately 155,394 individuals whose private information was compromised as a result of the June 2023 data breach and received notice of the breach in or around November 2023.

The court-authorized website for the HopSkipDrive data breach settlement can be found at HopSkipDriveDataSettlement.com.

Settlement documents state that HopSkipDrive settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form are eligible for multiple forms of reimbursement.

Firstly, class members who submit a claim form with documented proof of out-of-pocket losses incurred because of the data breach are eligible to receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement. The agreement notes that all claims for documented losses must include proof of expenses incurred by a third party, such as invoices, receipts, or bank statements.

The settlement site adds that class members may submit a claim form for up to five hours of lost time spent addressing the data breach at a rate of $25 per hour, which will be subject to the $5,000 aggregate limit for documented losses.

Under the agreement, all HopSkipDrive class members may also submit a claim form for an alternative one-time cash payment of approximately $100. These payments, the agreement outlines, are subject to a pro rata (equal share) increase or decrease depending on the amount of money left in the net settlement fund after payment of all other claims, attorneys’ fees, administrative fees, and lead plaintiff service awards.

Furthermore, the agreement highlights that class members who resided in California at any time between May 31, 2023 and April 14, 2026 are eligible to receive a California statutory payment of approximately $250, which may be reduced on a pro rata basis should the number of claims exceed the settlement fund.

Finally, all class members may submit a claim form to receive an enrollment code for two free years of identity theft and fraud protection, which includes three-bureau credit monitoring, identity theft insurance, and access to a fraud/identity theft specialist.  Class members who previously accepted credit monitoring from HopSkipDrive in response to the data breach will have two free years added to their existing coverage, the agreement notes.

In addition to monetary benefits and credit monitoring, HopSkipDrive has agreed to implement business practice changes to mitigate the risk of a future data breach, including updated procedures and policies, increased security training and additional malware protection as part of the settlement.

To submit a HopSkipDrive settlement claim form online, class members can head to this page and enter the notice ID and confirmation code found on their received copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form to print, complete, and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

All HopSkipDrive settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later than April 14, 2026.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the HopSkipDrive data breach settlement at a hearing on May 19, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The HopSkipDrive class action lawsuit claimed that the company specializing in rideshare services for schoolchildren and older adults did not protect the sensitive information stored on its systems from a data breach that occurred approximately between May 31, 2023 and June 10, 2023. Per court documents, the information that may have been implicated in the data breach includes names, addresses, email addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and medical information.
