Current and former employees in the United States, and their spouses and dependents, whose personally identifiable information the December 2024 DecoPac data breach potentially compromised may be eligible to submit a claim for up to $4,000 plus credit monitoring from a class action settlement.
DecoPac Inc. agreed to pay up to $400,000 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it failed to protect consumer PII, resulting in unauthorized access to sensitive information, including names and Social Security numbers. The data breach impacted approximately 2,860 current and former DecoPac employees, as well as their spouses and dependents.
Who can file a data breach claim?
Class members are living individuals in the United States whose PII the data incident DecoPac announced on or around Dec. 6, 2024, potentially compromised.
How much is the settlement payout?
Class members have the following benefit options:
- Documented out-of-pocket losses: Class members can claim up to $4,000 for actual, unreimbursed expenses that are fairly traceable to the data breach. This may include:
- Bank or credit card fees
- Fees for credit reports, credit monitoring or identity theft insurance purchased between Dec. 6, 2024, and Feb. 5, 2026
- Unreimbursed monetary losses due to fraud or identity theft

- Credit monitoring: All class members may elect to receive three years of credit monitoring services, which includes at least $1,000,000 in identity theft protection insurance.
The total amount available for cash payments to class members is capped at $400,000. If the sum of all valid claims exceeds the cap, the settlement administrator will reduce payments proportionally.
