VNA of Texas Data Breach Settlement: Claim Up to $4,000 by Feb 1, 2027

A proposed class action settlement addresses a data incident at VNA of Texas, also known as The Visiting Nurse Association of Texas, that occurred on or around July 17, 2025. The lawsuit claims personal information was compromised as a result. VNA denies any wrongdoing and denies the allegations, but both sides agreed to settle rather than continue litigating.

The deal is not yet final, the Court must still grant approval at a Final Approval Hearing set for March 8, 2027. No payments will be issued until that approval is finalized, and the timeline could stretch further if anyone appeals.

You may be eligible if your personal information was involved in the breach, including if you received a notice about it. Roughly 26,000 people fall within the settlement class. To receive a payment, you must file a valid Claim Form by February 1, 2027.

Every class member who stays in the settlement (doesn't opt out) qualifies for two years of three-bureau credit monitoring plus $1 million in identity theft insurance, automatically, with no Claim Form needed, just an enrollment code from your notice, which activates once the opt-out deadline passes.

On top of that, you can choose one cash option. The first lets you recover documented out-of-pocket losses, up to $4,000 per person, covering things like identity theft or fraud losses, professional fees, credit freeze or monitoring costs, and smaller costs such as postage, notary fees, copying, and mileage. The second is a flat $50 payment requiring no documentation, though if too many people pick this option, individual $50 payments could be reduced to stay within the funding cap.

Anyone filing for out-of-pocket losses needs third-party proof, receipts, bank statements, or similar records. Personal written explanations can support a claim but won't count as proof on their own. If your documentation falls short and you don't correct it when asked, your claim will default to the $50 payment instead.

The Claim Form requires your Notice ID, found on the notice mailed or emailed to you, and a signed statement under penalty of perjury confirming your information is accurate. The Settlement Administrator may request additional details before approving a claim, and failing to provide them could result in denial.

To confirm you're part of the class, check for a notice sent by mail or email. If you believe you qualify but never received one, contact the Settlement Administrator directly for assistance.
