What Is This Settlement About?

A proposed class action settlement has been reached with Alera Group, Inc. over an August 2024 cyberattack on its computer systems (the "Data Incident") that potentially accessed files containing personal information. According to the official notice, those files may have included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, addresses, driver's license numbers, financial account and credit card information, passport numbers, insurance and medical information, biometric information, and account usernames and log-in credentials.

Alera Group denies any wrongdoing and the court has not decided who is right. Both sides agreed to settle, with benefits capped at a $2 million total, to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. If you were sent a notice that your information may have been involved in the incident, you may be eligible to file a claim for a cash payment and monitoring before the June 29, 2026 deadline.

Who Qualifies?

The settlement class is defined as all living individuals residing in the United States who were sent a notice of the Data Incident indicating that their private information may have been impacted. You likely qualify if you received that notice from Alera Group. Directors and officers of the defendant, governmental entities, the assigned judge and court staff, and anyone found criminally responsible for the incident are excluded.

The simplest way to check your eligibility is to confirm whether you received a data breach notification letter, or to review the official settlement website at AleraGroupDataSettlement.com.

How Much Can You Get?

All class members may claim two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete monitoring, plus one of two cash options:

• Financial and medical data monitoring: two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete, which includes $1 million of medical identity theft insurance and monitoring for fraud and identity theft, high-risk financial transactions, dark-web exposure, healthcare insurance ID exposure, medical record number exposure, and unauthorized health savings account activity, with access to a fraud resolution agent.
• Cash Payment A — documented losses: reimbursement of up to $3,500 for documented out-of-pocket losses traceable to actual fraud or identity theft from the incident, incurred between July 19, 2024 and June 29, 2026 (for example, fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or credit freezes; the cost to replace IDs; and postage). Third-party documentation such as receipts is required — a personal certification alone is not enough.
• Cash Payment B — alternate cash: a one-time payment expected to be about $50 with no proof or explanation required.

You may claim only one of the two cash options. Total benefits are capped at $2 million; if the value of all valid claims exceeds that cap, payments are reduced pro rata.

How to File a Claim

The fastest way to file is online through the official settlement website. You can also request and mail a paper claim form. To file, you will generally need information from your notice (such as a Notice ID or Claim ID, if one was provided) along with any documentation supporting an out-of-pocket loss claim.

If you lost or never received your notice — or need a paper claim form — use the contact form on the official settlement website to reach the administrator. Submit your claim at AleraGroupDataSettlement.com before the deadline.

Important Deadline

The deadline to submit a claim is June 29, 2026, whether you file online or by mail (mailed claims must be postmarked by that date). June 29, 2026 is also the deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement. The final approval hearing is scheduled for August 3, 2026 at 8:45 a.m. Eastern Time at the Broward County Courthouse, by Zoom. Hearing details can change, so check the official settlement website for the latest.

Beware of Scams

Legitimate settlement administrators do not ask you to pay a fee to file a claim or to receive a payment. File only through the official settlement website and never share more information than the claim form requires.

If you have been affected by other data incidents, you may also have open claims — see our roundup of active data breach settlements.
