The DotHouse Health class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on September 18, 2026.

Eligible for the settlement are individuals who were sent notice of the data breach by DotHouse Health in or around July 2025 and for whom notice was not returned as undeliverable.

Court documents state that approximately 145,000 people are included in the settlement class.

Class members who file a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $2,000 for unreimbursed, documented out-of-pocket losses incurred between October 31, 2022 and January 29, 2027 due to the DotHouse data breach. This benefit covers losses from identity theft or fraud and costs for credit reports, credit monitoring, freezing/unfreezing credit, replacement IDs, and postage to contact banks.

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

In lieu of a documented-loss payout, class members can file a claim form to receive an estimated $40 pro rata cash payment, with no proof required.

Per the settlement website, any money that remains in the settlement fund after the payment of all settlement expenses and benefits will be divided equally among all class members who file a claim for a pro rata cash payment.

Lastly, class members can elect on their claim form to receive two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which includes one-bureau credit monitoring, dark web monitoring, real-time authentication alerts, high-risk transaction monitoring, lost wallet protection, and identity theft insurance.
