Overview

• Eligible U.S. customers are receiving notices from Kroll and can file claims by Nov. 18 to seek up to $5,000 for the March breach, $2,500 for the July breach or $7,500 for both.
• Claimants may choose documented-loss payments requiring evidence that losses are fairly traceable to the breaches or opt for tiered cash payments based on data sensitivity tiers.
• Filing a claim forfeits the right to sue AT&T over the incidents and those wishing to preserve litigation rights must opt out by Oct. 17.
• The settlement allocates $149 million to the March dataset class and $28 million to the July call-log class under U.S. District Court oversight in Texas.
• Distributions could be delayed by appeals and the time needed to process claims after the Dec. 3 fairness hearing.
