The Family Health Center class action settlement received preliminary court approval on June 10, 2025 and covers anyone in the U.S. whose private information—such as names, medical information, addresses and Social Security numbers—was potentially accessed as a result of the data breach, including those who were sent notice of the incident.

The court-approved website for the Family Health Center settlement can be found at FHCDataSettlement.com.

Family Health Center settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form may receive one of two types of cash compensation. Those who submit proof of documented losses related to the data breach may file a claim for up to $5,000 of reimbursement for their losses, including the following:

• Losses related to identity theft;
• Bank, credit card and debit card fees;
• Costs related to replacing a driver’s license, Social Security number or other form of identification;
• Overdraft, declined payment and returned check fees; and
• Fees for credit reports or credit monitoring.

Claimants cannot receive reimbursement from the settlement for a documented loss that has already been reimbursed by some other source.

Alternatively, class members may select a flat payment of $50, which requires no documentation.

All class members may also elect to receive two years of one-bureau credit monitoring that will provide:

• Fully managed identity recovery services;
• Credit monitoring;
• Identity theft insurance covering up to $1,000,000; and
• Dark web monitoring.

To submit a claim form online, class members can visit this page on the settlement website and log in with the unique ID and PIN provided in their copy of the settlement notice.

Alternatively, a PDF claim form is available to print, fill out and mail back to the address listed on the second page of the form.

All claims must be submitted online or postmarked by October 8, 2025.

According to court documents, Family Health Center has implemented changes and improvements to further secure its systems and protect patients’ private information.

A hearing is set for October 17, 2025 to determine whether the settlement will receive final court approval. Compensation will begin to be dispensed to claimants only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.

The settlement will resolve two Family Health Center class action lawsuits that claimed a data breach that occurred on or about January 25, 2024 exposed patients’ sensitive personal and medical information to unauthorized third parties, including names, Social Security numbers, addresses and medical information.
