According to the settlement website, Frontier settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form will be able to receive either reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented, proven losses resulting from the data breach or a flat cash payment of $100, as well as free credit monitoring services.
Per the site, documented losses related to the Frontier Communications data breach may include charges and expenses such as bank fees, cell data charges (based on the amount of data used), other cell phone charges (only charged per minute), long distance phone charges, gasoline for local travel, credit report fees, postage, identity theft insurance products and credit monitoring.
Claimed expenses must have been incurred between April 14, 2024 and the date the claim form is submitted, the settlement website relays. Reasonable documentation, such as emails, receipts and telephone records, must be submitted along with the claim form to receive reimbursement for these losses.
Class members who do not submit documentation of data breach-related losses may, alternatively, elect to receive a flat cash payout of $100.
Additionally, all Frontier settlement class members are eligible to claim two years of three-bureau credit monitoring that will include:
- Identity theft insurance (no deductible);
- Dark web scanning with immediate notification of potential unauthorized use;
- Access to fraud resolution agents to help investigate and resolve instances of identity theft; and
- Comprehensive public record monitoring.
To submit a claim form online, class members must visit this page and log in with the unique ID and PIN found in their copy of the data breach settlement notice.
Alternatively, a PDF of the claim form is available to print, fill out and mail back to the address listed on the form.
All Frontier settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later than October 27, 2025.
A hearing is scheduled for November 18, 2025 to determine whether the class action settlement will receive final court approval. Frontier settlement benefits will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.
The Frontier Communications Parent class action lawsuit claimed that the company neglected to properly safeguard the sensitive personal information stored in its systems from an April 2024 data breach that exposed the private data of approximately 750,000 people.
