FAQ

Is this only for employees?
The complaint centers on data Pacific Seafood stored — which includes employees — but the class definition will be set by the court. If you received an official notice, you’re likely included.

Do I need to do anything now to “join”?
Not at this stage. In a class action, you’re typically included automatically if you fall within the certified class. If a settlement is reached later, there will be a claims process with clear instructions.

Will I get free credit monitoring?
The lawsuit asks for it, but nothing is guaranteed unless the court orders relief or a settlement provides it.

How long should I monitor?
Identity risks can persist for years with SSNs and medical data. Keep an eye on your credit and insurance statements over time.
