What Changed Recently?
Sirva Relocation, a corporate relocation company, settled the class action over a September 2023 cyberattack on its computer systems. The case was first filed in October 2024 in federal court in Los Angeles, voluntarily dismissed in April 2026 after the parties reached a deal in mediation, and refiled as Rivera v. Sirva Relocation, LLC in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois, where Judge Craig R. Belford granted preliminary approval on October 2, 2026.The lawsuit alleges that files accessed in the attack contained personal information such as Social Security numbers, driver's license and other government ID numbers, financial account and card numbers with access codes, biometric data and online account credentials. Sirva denies the claims and any wrongdoing, the court has not decided who is right, and the settlement is not an admission of liability.
Who Qualifies?
The settlement class is everyone whose private information was potentially compromised in the incident. Sirva's records divide the class into three groups:- Group 1: people whose Social Security number was potentially compromised.
- Group 2: people whose other personal, employment, loan or mortgage, or health information was potentially compromised, but not a Social Security number.
- Group 3: people whose only potentially compromised information falls outside those categories.
How Much Can You Get?
Every class member can enroll in two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete credit monitoring, which includes $1 million in financial fraud insurance. On top of that, a claimant chooses between loss reimbursement and a flat cash payment:- Ordinary losses: up to $500 for documented, unreimbursed costs traceable to the incident, such as credit report and credit freeze fees, ID replacement and postage, incurred between August 16, 2023 and December 29, 2026.
- Extraordinary losses: up to $4,000 for documented identity theft or fraud losses more likely than not caused by the incident, after the claimant tried to recover them, for example through existing insurance.
- Alternative cash payment, instead of loss reimbursement: $50 for Group 1 or $10 for Group 2, with no documents. Group 3 has no cash option.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
The online claim form opens only with the Login ID and PIN from the mailed notice. The settlement website says people who cannot find theirs can request them from the administrator by email with their full name and mailing address. The paper claim form asks for the Login ID only “if known.”The $50 and $10 payments need no documents. Loss claims need receipts or other third-party records; notes a claimant writes can support them but are not enough on their own, and extraordinary-loss claims based on bank statements must also show the charges were fraudulent, such as with a police report or a bank letter. Every claim is signed under penalty of perjury.
What Is the Deadline?
Claims are due December 29, 2026, online or by mail postmarked by that date, according to the settlement website and notice. The paper claim form itself says mailed forms must be received by December 29, which is stricter than the postmark rule in the notice. The deadlines to opt out and to object are also December 29, 2026.How Do You Take Action?
Claims are filed on the official Sirva data settlement website, online with the notice's Login ID and PIN or by downloading the claim form and mailing it. The claim form offers payment by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, virtual prepaid card or paper check, and credit monitoring codes are sent by email or mail.What Happens Next?
The final approval hearing is January 6, 2027 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time at the DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton, Illinois. If the court approves the settlement, payments and credit monitoring codes go out within 30 days after the settlement becomes final or after a claim is approved, whichever is later. Checks must be cashed within 90 days. No payment date has been announced.Sources and Verification
This page is based on the official settlement website, the long-form notice, the claim form, the settlement agreement and the October 2, 2026 order preliminarily approving the settlement in Rivera v. Sirva Relocation, LLC, No. 2026CH000111 (Ill. Cir. Ct., DuPage Cnty.), originally filed as No. 2:24-cv-09378 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The case is now in state court, so it has no federal PACER docket. The documents are posted on the official settlement website. It is not legal advice.Questions
How do I know which Sirva settlement group I am in?
Sirva sorted class members into three groups using its own records: Group 1 if a Social Security number was potentially exposed, Group 2 if other personal, employment, loan or health information was exposed but not a Social Security number, and Group 3 if only other information was exposed. According to the settlement website, the mailed notice indicates which group a class member belongs to.
Can I file a Sirva claim without the Login ID and PIN?
The online claim form opens only with the Login ID and PIN printed on the mailed notice. The settlement website says class members who cannot find them can request them from the settlement administrator by email, giving their full name and mailing address. The paper claim form asks for the Login ID only “if known.”
Why might the Sirva $50 or $10 payment be smaller?
Cash payments and administration costs share a $260,000 cap. Documented ordinary losses are paid first, then extraordinary losses, then the $50 Group 1 payments, then the $10 Group 2 payments. If claims exceed the cap, the last tier reached is reduced pro rata and any tier after it gets nothing. Credit monitoring, attorneys’ fees and the service award sit outside the cap.
What happens if my Sirva loss claim is rejected?
Under the settlement agreement, if a Group 1 or Group 2 member’s claim for documented losses is still not adequately supported after the administrator asks for more information, the administrator converts it to that group’s alternative cash payment instead of denying it. That conversion does not apply to Group 3, which has no cash option.
Does the Sirva settlement release companies other than Sirva?
Yes. The released parties include Sirva’s customers, defined as the companies that gave class members’ information to Sirva, along with their affiliates, employees and insurers. Class members who stay in the settlement give up claims against those companies over the incident too.
