The Covenant Health class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on September 15, 2026. Eligible for the settlement are all living United States residents whose private information was compromised in the Covenant Health data incident, including all who were sent notice of the data breach.

Court documents state that the private information of more than 502,606 people nationwide was accessed during the data incident.

Settlement class members who file a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $5,000 for documented, unreimbursed losses incurred due to the data breach.

Class members must submit proof, such as receipts or credit card statements, to receive a documented-loss payment.

In addition, class members can submit a claim form to receive an estimated $75 cash payment, with no proof required.

Lastly, all class members are eligible to receive two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which includes one-bureau credit monitoring, dark web monitoring, real-time authentication alerts, identity theft insurance, and more.
