The Electronics for Imaging class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on August 24, 2026. Eligible for the settlement are all United States residents whose private information was impacted in the data breach affecting EFI in or around September 2024, including all who received notice of the data incident.

Court documents state that approximately 5,528 people are included in the settlement class.

The court-approved Electronics for Imaging data breach settlement website can be found at EFIDataSettlement.com.

Settlement class members who file a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $300 for documented “ordinary” losses incurred between September 17, 2024 and December 22, 2026 due to the EFI data breach. This benefit covers costs for credit reports, credit monitoring, freezing/unfreezing credit, replacement IDs, postage to contact banks, and more.

In addition, class members can submit a claim form to receive up to $5,000 for documented “extraordinary” losses incurred during the same time period because of the data incident. This benefit covers losses from identity theft or fraud that are not already covered by the ordinary-loss settlement benefit.

Class members must submit proof, such as receipts, to receive an “ordinary” and/or “extraordinary” documented-loss payment.

Class members can also file a claim form to receive reimbursement for up to four hours of lost time spent responding to the data breach, at a rate of $25 per hour, subject to the $300 cap on “ordinary” documented-loss payments. This benefit covers activities such as changing passwords, investigating suspicious account activity, and researching the data incident.

In lieu of any other settlement payment, class members can submit a claim form to receive a $75 cash payment, with no proof required.

Should the total amount of all approved monetary claims exceed the $300,000 aggregate cap, settlement payments to class members will be reduced on a pro rata (proportional) basis.

Lastly, all class members can elect on their claim form to receive three years of CyEx Identity Defense Complete, which includes one-bureau credit monitoring, dark web scanning, public records monitoring, and identity theft insurance.
