What Changed Recently?
AIS InfoSource, L.P. agreed to settle Allen, et al. v. AIS InfoSource, L.P., Case No. 2026-18098, a class action in the District Court for Harris County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that in February 2025 a criminal third party gained unauthorized access to AIS’s network, and that information involved may have included names, Social Security numbers and financial account numbers. AIS denies wrongdoing and all claims, and the court has not decided who is right. The parties settled to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation, and the court authorized notice to class members, with claims now due October 12, 2026.Who Qualifies?
The court defined the class as all individuals residing in the United States who received notice, including notice of this settlement, that their personally identifiable information may have been involved in the data incident. The settlement website adds that this includes people who received earlier notice directly from AIS about the incident.Excluded are the presiding judge and the judge’s family and staff; government entities; AIS, its subsidiaries, parents, successors, predecessors and controlled entities, and their current or former officers and directors; anyone who opted out by September 11, 2026; and anyone found guilty of causing or aiding the incident.
How Much Can You Get?
Every class member who files can claim two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete credit monitoring, which comes with $1 million in financial fraud insurance, plus one or both cash benefits:- Documented out-of-pocket losses, up to $5,000: losses traceable to the incident between February 16, 2025 and October 12, 2026, such as identity theft or fraud losses, credit report, monitoring or freeze fees, ID replacement costs and postage. Expenses already reimbursed by someone else do not qualify.
- Lost time, up to $80: up to four hours at $20 an hour spent dealing with the incident, such as changing passwords or checking accounts for suspicious activity. Claimants attest to the time; no receipts are needed for this part.
There is no flat cash payment that every claimant receives, so someone with no losses and no time spent would receive only the credit monitoring. According to the notice, AIS will separately pay class counsel’s attorneys’ fees and costs of up to $325,000 and service awards of up to $3,000 for each of the three class representatives, if the court approves them.

A claim for documented losses also needs supporting records, such as bank statements, receipts, or postage or copying costs, showing the amount spent and its connection to the incident; personal notes can support other proof but are not enough on their own.What Is the Deadline?
The claim deadline is October 12, 2026 for claims submitted online or by email; mailed claim forms, with supporting documents, must be postmarked no later than October 12, 2026.
