NJ Lenders data breach settlement: October 1 claim deadline

Who qualifies

• You received direct notice that your private information may have been impacted in NJ Lenders' August 2025 data incident. Being a customer or suspecting exposure alone does not establish class membership.
• The class is not limited to New Jersey residents. NJ Lenders directors and officers, governmental entities, the assigned judge, that judge's immediate family and court staff are excluded. People who validly opted out cannot receive settlement benefits.
• For documented-loss reimbursement, provide reasonable records of unreimbursed expenses connected to the incident, incurred from August 18, 2025 through the date you file. A personal statement alone is insufficient; it can explain supporting records. Do not claim expenses already reimbursed by another source.
• The alternative cash option does not require documentation of financial loss. You must still be a class member and submit a complete, truthful, personally signed claim. Choose one cash option and file one cash claim.

How to file an NJ Lenders settlement claim

1. 1

   Locate your notice

   Check that you received direct notice of possible impact from this incident. Online filing requires the notice LoginID and PIN. Contact Simpluris at (833) 421-7307 or info@NJLendersDataSettlement.com for missing credentials. The downloadable paper form asks for the Login ID only if known.

2. 2

   Choose one cash option

   Select the $40 alternative payment or documented-loss reimbursement up to $2,500. Attach reasonable loss records if claiming reimbursement. Both payments may decrease under the shared $100,000 cash limit; the two options cannot be combined.

3. 3

   Personally sign and submit

   Review the certification under penalty of perjury and sign it yourself. Submit online by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on October 1, 2026, or postmark your paper claim by October 1. Use the mailing address printed on the official form and keep your confirmation or mailing record. The administrator may request more information.

4. 4

   Keep your monitoring code

   After final approval, follow the administrator's instructions to activate one year of monitoring using the code sent with your notice. A cash claim is not required for this separate benefit. ClaimBee helps you discover settlements and review deadlines; your claim certification must remain your own.
