The Nth Degree class action settlement received preliminary court approval on April 1, 2026. The deal covers all individuals in the United States whose private information was accessed and/or acquired as a result of the data breach suffered by Nth Degree in December 2024, including all who were sent notice of the cyberattack.

Court documents state that the settlement class may include 38,953 people.

Settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can receive up to $3,500 for out-of-pocket losses incurred because of the data breach. This benefit covers costs for credit reports and credit monitoring services purchased between December 12, 2024 and July 30, 2026, and expenses for bank fees, long-distance phone charges, postage, gasoline, and more.

As part of this benefit, class members can also receive reimbursement for up to four hours of lost time spent addressing the data breach, at a rate of $20 per hour. Class members can only receive compensation for lost time if they spent at least one hour responding to the breach.

Class members must submit proof, such as receipts or bank statements, to receive a documented-loss payment.

In lieu of a documented-loss payment, class members can instead file a claim form to receive an alternative $50 cash payment, with no proof required.

Class members who were California residents when the Nth Degree data breach occurred can claim an additional $100 cash payment.

Finally, all settlement class members can submit a claim to receive three years of single-bureau credit monitoring, which includes dark web monitoring, identity theft insurance, and identity recovery assistance.
