The FPI Management class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on July 9, 2025 and covers all of the approximately 21,417 United States residents who were notified that their personal information may have been affected by the data breach that was discovered by FPI Management around August 14, 2020.
The court-approved website for the FPI Management settlement can be found at FPIDataIncident.com.
FPI Management settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form will be able to receive a cash payment of $100 for consumers to whom a notice was mailed to a California address, two years of identity theft protection and credit monitoring, ordinary expense reimbursement of up to $400 and extraordinary expense reimbursement for up to $4,250.
The class action settlement website defines “ordinary expenses” as documented costs or time losses directly caused by or related to the FPI Management data breach and its effects, including:
- Costs of accessing, freezing or unfreezing credit reports with any credit reporting agency;
- Out-of-pocket expenses such as bank fees, accountant fees, attorney fees, cell phone charges (if charged by the minute), data charges (if charged by the amount of data used), long distance phone charges, gasoline for local travel, postage, copying, parking, notary, faxing or scanning;
- Fees for credit monitoring, credit reports or other identity theft insurance products purchased between August 14, 2020 and November 6, 2025; and
- Up to three hours of time spent dealing with the effects of the data breach, reimbursed at a rate of $20 per hour.
Extraordinary expense reimbursement, the website states, is intended for class members who suffered actual identity theft that is fairly traceable to the FPI data breach and occurred between August 14, 2020 and November 6, 2025, and whose related losses have not already been covered or mitigated, and whose costs are not covered in the “ordinary expenses” category.
Class members seeking reimbursement for ordinary or extraordinary expenses must submit documented proof for each loss they seek to claim, the settlement website says.
The two-year identity theft protection and credit monitoring offered through the class action settlement includes $1,000,000 identity theft insurance with no deductible, credit monitoring from TransUnion and identity restoration and recovery services.
To submit a claim form online, FPI Management settlement class members must visit this page and log in with the unique ID and PIN found in their copy of the settlement notice.
Alternatively, a PDF of the claim form is available to print, fill out and mail back to the address listed on the form.
All claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later than November 6, 2025.
FPI Management has also agreed, as part of the settlement, to implement several enhancements to its data security systems and network.
A hearing is scheduled for October 24, 2025 to determine whether the settlement will receive final approval from the court. Settlement benefits will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.
The FPI Management class action lawsuit claimed that the property management firm failed to properly protect the personal data—including names, dates of birth, addresses, driver’s license numbers, passport numbers, tax ID numbers, Social Security numbers, digital signatures, payment card information, financial account information, online credentials and medical information—of thousands of individuals from a data breach discovered on or around August 14, 2020.
