The AGC America class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on March 17, 2026. The deal covers all United States residents who were sent a notice about the data breach indicating that their private information may have been impacted in the incident.

Court documents state that approximately 20,951 current and former AGC America employees may have been impacted by the data breach.  

The court-approved website for the AGC America class action settlement can be found at AGCSettlement.com.

According to the settlement agreement, class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $2,500 for out-of-pocket losses incurred between December 14, 2023 and July 15, 2026 because of the data breach. This benefit covers monetary losses related to fraud or identity theft and costs to obtain credit reports, credit monitoring, replacement IDs, and more.

Class members must submit documentation, such as receipts or bank statements, to receive a documented-loss payment.

In lieu of a documented-loss payment, class members may instead submit a claim for an alternative cash payment of approximately $50. No proof is required to claim this benefit.

The agreement notes that the final amount of the alternative cash payment may increase or decrease on a pro rata basis, depending on the total number of valid claims filed.

Additionally, all class members may submit a claim form to receive two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete, which includes fraud and identity theft monitoring and financial fraud insurance.

The court will determine whether to grant the AGC America class action settlement final approval following a hearing on July 21, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.
