How Much Can You Get?
Every Settlement Class Member may claim credit monitoring plus one of two cash options. You choose the option that fits your situation.• Cash Payment B — Alternate Cash (~$60, no receipts): A one-time cash payment expected to be about $60.00. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment. This is the simplest option for most class members who did not have specific out-of-pocket losses.
• Cash Payment A — Documented Losses (up to $5,000): If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses because of the Data Incident between December 6, 2024 and October 22, 2026, you can be reimbursed up to $5,000.00. Covered expenses can include losses from identity theft or fraud; fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit; the cost to replace IDs; and postage to contact banks by mail. You must submit proof such as bank statements or receipts. You cannot claim expenses already reimbursed by a third party.
In addition to the cash option you choose, all class members receive two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete. This service includes $1 million of financial fraud insurance and monitoring for fraud or identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, and personal information tied to high-risk transactions, along with access to a fraud resolution agent. Enrollment codes were sent to class members by postcard; if you no longer have your enrollment code, you can request a replacement through the official Settlement Website.
Cash payments are issued by your chosen method: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card, or a physical check mailed to your address. You select your payment method on the claim form.
Class Counsel will ask the court to approve up to $285,000.00 in attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, and service awards of $2,500.00 for each of the class representatives. These amounts are paid by Lands’ End and are separate from the class members’ benefits. The court will decide the final amounts at the Final Approval Hearing.
Do I Need Proof to File a Lands’ End Claim?
Yes. To start a claim online you must log in with the Login ID and PIN printed at the top of the notice that was mailed to you. Because that code identifies you as a class member, this settlement counts as proof-required even for the $60 option. The documentation needed then depends on which cash option you select.• Login ID & PIN required to file. The Login ID and PIN appear at the top of your mailed notice. If you cannot locate them, you can request them through the official Settlement Website by providing your full name and mailing address.
• Alternate Cash (~$60): No supporting documentation is required beyond your Login ID and PIN. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation of losses.
• Documented Losses (up to $5,000): Supporting documents are required. You must submit bank statements or receipts showing your expenses or losses and that they were caused by the Data Incident. You may add a written explanation to support other proof, but a self-written note alone is not enough to make a valid claim.
