Who can file a claim?

Individuals are eligible to participate in this settlement if:

Labcorp transmitted their personal information to AMCA (also known as Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau Inc.).
The computer systems the AMCA cybersecurity incident compromised between August 2018 and March 2019 contained their information.

How much can class members get?

Class members may be eligible for one of the following awards:

Documented out-of-pocket losses: Up to $5,000 for unreimbursed costs, expenses or losses resulting from identity theft, medical fraud or misuse of personal information. Eligible expenses may include:

Professional service costs (such as legal or credit repair services)
Miscellaneous expenses (such as notary, fax, postage, copying, mileage and long-distance phone charges)
Credit monitoring costs incurred on or after Aug. 1, 2018, through Sept. 3, 2026
Up to 10 hours of documented time spent remedying fraud or identity theft at $25 per hour

Alternative cash payment: Class members who do not have out-of-pocket losses can claim an alternative cash payment estimated at $50. The settlement administrator may adjust the final amount depending on the total number of valid claims and the amount left in the settlement fund after deductions for administrative costs, attorneys' fees and costs, service awards to class representatives and taxes.
Medical monitoring: All class members can elect to receive up to two years of CyEx Medical Shield Pro medical and health care information monitoring services.
