Who can file a claim?

The settlement class includes all living individuals in the United States whose private information the data incident Compassion Health Care Inc. discovered on or around March 17, 2025, impacted. There are approximately 23,600 class members.

Class members can claim one of two cash payment options and may also elect to receive two years of credit monitoring.

• Cash Payment A – Documented losses: Up to $5,000 per person for documented losses the data incident caused that another source did not already reimburse. This includes reimbursement for time spent dealing with the incident at $25 per hour for up to four hours (maximum $100).

• Medical data monitoring: Two years of credit monitoring, which includes medical data monitoring and $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance.
