OPM Data Breach Settlement

If You Were Subject to the Data Breaches of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and Its Contractor (Peraton Risk Decision Inc.), and You Experienced an Out-of-Pocket Loss After the Breaches, You Could Be Eligible for a Payment from a Class Action Settlement.

To be eligible to make a claim for payment, your personal information must have been compromised in the data breaches, and you must also have suffered an out-of-pocket expense or lost compensable time:

1. to purchase a credit monitoring product, credit or identity theft protection product, or other product or service designed to identify or remediate the data breaches;

2. to access, freeze or unfreeze a credit report with a credit reporting agency; or

3. as a result of an identity theft incident or to mitigate an identity theft incident.

Purchases such as Ring doorbells, security cameras, alarm systems, etc. may also make you eligible.

Eligible claimants under the Settlement will receive $700 or the actual amount of the claim—whichever is greater—up to a maximum of $10,000, unless the total value of all valid claims, plus any incentive awards to named plaintiffs, exceeds the amount of money in the fund.
