The E-Benefit Solution class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on March 17, 2026. The deal covers all living United States residents whose private information was compromised by the data breach and who received written or substitute notice about the incident from E-Benefit Solution.

The court-approved website for the E-Benefit Solution data breach settlement can be found at EBenefitDataIncident.com.

According to the website, E-Benefit settlement class members who file a valid, timely claim form can receive up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses stemming from the data breach.

Losses covered by this benefit include expenses from identity theft and fraud, obtaining credit reports and credit monitoring, freezing and unfreezing credit, and other data breach-related costs incurred between December 10, 2024 and July 1, 2026.

Class members must submit proof, such as receipts, to receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket losses.

In lieu of a documented-loss payment, class members can instead file a claim form to receive a $40 cash payment from the deal, with no proof required.

In addition to either cash payment option, all settlement class members can file a claim form to receive two years of CyEx Financial Shield Total, which includes financial fraud insurance and monitoring for fraud and identity theft, unauthorized transactions and personal information associated with high-risk transactions.

To file an E-Benefit Solution settlement claim form online, class members can head to this page and log in using the unique ID and PIN found on their copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members may download a PDF of the claim form to print, fill out and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

All E-Benefit Solution settlement claim forms must be submitted online or by mail by July 1, 2026.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the E-Benefit Solution data breach settlement following a hearing on June 23, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.

The E-Benefit Solution class action lawsuit alleged that the insurance and employee benefits company failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect the information of the current and former employees of its clients, which allegedly led to a targeted cyberattack in December 2024. Per court documents, the files compromised during the data breach contained private information such as names and Social Security numbers.
