ECSI data breach settlement: claim by December 21

Who qualifies

• You reside in the United States and your personal information was potentially accessed in the criminal cyberattack on ECSI's website between October 29, 2023 and February 12, 2024. ECSI service use alone does not establish class membership; ask the administrator if you are unsure.
• The assigned judge, the judge's staff and immediate family, people convicted of initiating or helping the incident or who pleaded no contest to such charges, and people who validly opt out are excluded.
• For loss reimbursement, show actual, unreimbursed losses more likely than not caused by the incident. The current form covers qualifying losses from October 29, 2023 through December 21, 2026. Provide reasonable supporting records; self-prepared receipts or notes alone are insufficient.
• Alternatively, request the variable cash payment without documenting a financial loss. You must still qualify, complete the claim and sign its truthful certification. The alternative cash and documented-loss options cannot be combined.

How to file an ECSI data settlement claim

1. 1

   Confirm your eligibility and find your notice

   Use the official settlement website to review the class definition. Online filing requires your Notice ID and Confirmation Code. Contact the administrator at 1-877-726-4268 if you need help with eligibility or notice credentials.

2. 2

   Choose one cash option

   Request reimbursement up to $5,000 with records supporting unreimbursed incident-related losses, or select the alternative cash payment. Its approximately $100 estimate is not guaranteed: it is an equal share of funds remaining after deductions and approved loss payments.

3. 3

   Review, sign and submit

   Complete the applicable sections, attach required loss records and sign the certification under penalty of perjury. Submit online by December 21, 2026, or mail the form and records postmarked by December 21 to ECSI Security Incident Settlement Administrator, ATTN: Claim Forms, 1650 Arch Street, Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

4. 4

   Keep your confirmation and contact details current

   The administrator may request supplemental information before approving a claim. Keep your submission records and respond to follow-up requests. ClaimBee helps you discover settlements and review deadlines; you remain responsible for the accuracy and signature of your claim.
