The Maxar Space class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court in March 2026. The deal covers all United States residents whose personally identifiable information was potentially compromised in the data breach announced by Maxar in or around October 2024, including all individuals who received a data breach notice letter.

The court-approved website for the Maxar Space class action settlement can be found at MaxarSettlement.com.

According to the settlement agreement, class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $3,500 for out-of-pocket losses stemming from the data breach. Claimable out-of-pocket losses must have been incurred between October 11, 2024 and the date of claim submission.

This settlement benefit covers expenses for credit reports and monitoring, bank fees, travel costs, cell phone charges, and more. Class members must submit third-party documentation, such as receipts or bank statements, to receive a documented-loss payment.

Class members may also submit a claim form for up to four hours of lost time spent responding to issues stemming from the data breach, at a rate of $20 per hour, for a maximum payout of $80. Per the agreement, lost-time payments count toward the $3,500 cap for documented-loss payouts. No proof is needed to claim this benefit.

Maxar settlement class members who are California residents may also submit a claim form to receive a statutory cash payment of $100. This benefit is available due to state-specific statutory requirements under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

Court documents note that statutory California cash payments are subject to an aggregate $15,000 cap, and payments may be subject to change on a pro rata basis depending on the total number of valid claims filed.

Finally, all class members may file a claim form to receive three years of one-bureau credit monitoring, which includes identity theft insurance. Class members will receive an email with an enrollment code for credit monitoring services from the settlement administrator following final approval of the deal.

To submit a Maxar Space settlement claim form online, class members can head to this page and enter the unique ID and PIN found on their copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form to print, fill out and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

All Maxar Space settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked by July 16, 2026.

The court will determine whether to grant the Maxar Space settlement final approval following a hearing on September 24, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The Maxar Space class action lawsuit claimed that the space technology company, which designs and builds spacecraft and satellites, failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to prevent a data breach discovered in October 2024, during which an unauthorized third party accessed current and former employees’ private information.

According to the case, information that may have been accessed during the breach included names, home addresses, gender, employment information, business contact information, and other personally identifying information.
