HCF Management Data Breach Settlement: Claims Are Closed

HCF Management says that on or about September 17, 2024, it discovered a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized person gained access to its network, potentially exposing employees' and customers' personal information, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial account numbers, medical information, and insurance information. A lawsuit followed, alleging HCF failed to adequately safeguard this data; HCF denies any wrongdoing. To resolve the case, the parties reached a settlement that has received preliminary court approval. Under its terms, all class members can get three years of free credit monitoring backed by $1,000,000 in fraud insurance, along with optional cash benefits. Some benefits require no proof at all: you can claim the free credit monitoring or a flat $35 cash payment without documentation. But if you're seeking reimbursement for lost time, out-of-pocket costs, or extraordinary losses (up to $4,000), you'll need supporting documentation, though for lost time, a signed attestation alone is sufficient. Claims can be filed online using the LoginID and PIN printed on the postcard or email notice you received; if you've misplaced it, you can email info@HCFDataSettlement.com with your full name and mailing address to request it.
