What Is This Settlement About?
Triage LLC, doing business as Triage Staffing — an Omaha, Nebraska-based healthcare staffing agency that places travel nurses and other medical professionals at facilities nationwide — has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit over a May 2025 data security incident. According to the settlement website, an unauthorized third party gained access to Triage's computer systems and potentially accessed certain files containing personal information, including first, middle, and last names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers.The lawsuit, Anderson, et al. v. Triage LLC d/b/a Triage Staffing, alleges Triage failed to adequately safeguard the personal information in its systems. Triage denies any wrongdoing, but the parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs, risks, and uncertainty of continued litigation. The settlement received preliminary approval on April 10, 2026, and a final approval hearing is scheduled for August 18, 2026. Because Triage is a staffing agency, the class consists largely of current and former employees, contractors, and healthcare professionals who worked with Triage — not the agency's customers.

How Much Can You Get?
Settlement Class Members who submit a valid claim form by the deadline can choose between two benefit paths:• Ordinary Losses — up to $500 per person for documented, unreimbursed losses incurred between May 2025 and August 10, 2026 as a result of the data breach, such as bank fees, communication charges, credit-related costs, and up to several hours of lost time.
• Extraordinary Losses — up to an additional $2,500 per person for documented, unreimbursed losses from actual identity theft or fraud fairly traceable to the breach, incurred between May 2025 and August 10, 2026. Combined with ordinary losses, reimbursement can reach $3,000.
• Alternative Cash Payment — class members who do not claim ordinary or extraordinary losses can instead elect a one-time $50 cash payment, with no receipts or documentation required (you still need the ID and PIN from your notice to file).
• Credit Monitoring — in addition to either benefit path, all class members can enroll in two years of CyEx Identity Defense Total, which includes three-bureau credit monitoring and identity protection insurance.
How Do You File a Claim?
The quickest way to file is online through the official settlement website, triagedatasettlement.com.

You can also download a claim form from the settlement website and submit it by email or mail.

Important Dates
• Claim Form Deadline: August 10, 2026 (submitted online, emailed, or postmarked)• Final Approval Hearing: August 18, 2026
Opt-out and objection deadlines are listed in the settlement notice and on the official settlement website. If you do nothing, you will receive no payment or monitoring and will give up the right to sue Triage over the breach if the settlement is approved.
When Will Payments Be Made?
Payments will only go out if the court grants final approval at the August 18, 2026 hearing and after any appeals are resolved and all claims are processed. That typically takes several months or longer after the hearing. Attorneys' fees, costs, administration expenses, and any court-approved service awards are paid before class member payments are calculated.Employee and contractor data breaches like this one are increasingly common — see our open data breach settlements tracker for other claims you may qualify for, including the Complete Payroll Solutions data breach settlement, another settlement covering exposed employee records. Travel nurses may also want to review our travel nurse housing stipend investigation.
Beware of Scams
Legitimate settlement administrators never ask you to pay a fee to receive your payment. File only through the official settlement website, and never share bank or payment information in response to an unsolicited call, text, or email about this settlement.Frequently Asked Questions
