KYB Americas settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $300 for documented ordinary losses incurred between February 11, 2025 and August 26, 2026. This benefit covers the costs of credit reports, credit monitoring, freezing or unfreezing credit, replacement IDs, postage and more.

Class members can also file a claim form to receive up to $5,000 for documented extraordinary losses incurred between February 11, 2025 and August 26, 2026. This benefit covers losses from fraud or identity theft due to the breach that are not covered by the ordinary-loss payout.

In lieu of the aforementioned benefits, class members can submit a claim form to receive an estimated $75 alternative cash payment with no proof required.

Should the total amount of all claims exceed the $250,000 aggregate cap, class members’ payments may be reduced on a pro rata basis.

Finally, all class members can file a claim form for three years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete, which includes one-bureau credit monitoring and financial fraud insurance.
