The Mason Construction class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on January 29, 2026 and covers all individuals residing in the United States whose private information was impacted by the data breach discovered by Mason in January 2024, including all those who received notice of the breach.

Per the settlement agreement, the settlement class consists of approximately 6,025 individuals.

The court-approved website for the Mason Construction data breach settlement can be found at MasonDataSettlement.com.

According to the website, Mason Construction settlement class members who file a valid, timely claim form have multiple options for reimbursement.

Class members who submit with their claim form documented proof of ordinary losses incurred due to the data breach are eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of up to $500. The settlement agreement outlines that class members must submit supporting third-party documentation to receive compensation for unreimbursed ordinary expenses related to professional fees, credit repair services, costs to freeze credit, credit monitoring services and miscellaneous expenses like postage and mileage.

Additionally, class members who file their claim form with documented proof of extraordinary expenses stemming from the data breach are eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of up to $5,000 from the settlement. The agreement reiterates that class members must submit third-party documentation demonstrating that any losses related to fraud or identity theft are actual, unreimbursed, were incurred between January 6, 2024 and June 1, 2026 and are not covered by any other settlement reimbursement option.

In addition to compensation for ordinary and/or extraordinary losses, class members may also submit a claim to be reimbursed for up to three hours of lost time spent responding to the breach, at a rate of $25 per hour, for a total of $75.

In lieu of these benefits, Mason Construction settlement class members may instead file a claim form to receive a one-time alternative cash payment of $55.

In other words, the agreement stipulates that class members who submit a claim for reimbursement of ordinary losses, extraordinary losses and/or lost time may not receive the alternative cash payment, and vice versa.

Class members may receive their settlement payout via check or electronic payment, the agreement notes, and all checks must be cashed within 60 days of issuance before expiration.

In addition to any monetary settlement benefits, all Mason Construction class members may file a claim form to receive an enrollment code for two free years of three-bureau credit monitoring and identity theft protection, which includes dark web scanning and public records monitoring, per the agreement.

All Mason Construction settlement claim forms must be submitted online or by mail by June 1, 2026.

Finally, as part of the settlement, Mason Construction has agreed to implement enhanced security measures to reduce the risk of a future data incident; the agreement states that all improvements will be funded separately from the settlement.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Mason Construction settlement following a hearing on June 4, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.

The Mason Construction class action lawsuit alleged that the Texas-based commercial and industrial construction company failed to implement proper cybersecurity measures to protect the sensitive consumer information stored on its systems, leading to a targeted cyberattack in or around January 2024. According to the settlement site, the private information that may have been compromised as a result of the data breach includes names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license and government-issued ID numbers, financial information, medical information and health insurance information.
