How much payout will you receive under the AT&T Settlement?
From the $177 million AT&T settlement fund, the administrator will use the funds first for administrative expenses, litigation expenses, attorneys’ fees & costs, and other expenses before proceeding with the compensation. The compensation payout for individuals will depend on the claim they have made, such as:
- AT&T Data Incident 1:
- Documented Loss: If you have proof of your loss due to the data incident that occurred in 2019 or later, you can receive the payment up to $5,000.
- Tier cash payment: If you do not have the documented loss, you can go for the tier payment, where you will find two tiers:
- Tier 1 cash payout: If your Social Security number was obtained in the data incident, you can receive the tier payment, which is five times the tier 2 payment.
- Tier 2 Cash payout: If your other information, other than SSN, was compromised, you will receive the Tier 2 cash payment.
- AT&T Data incident 2:
- Documented loss: If you have a documented loss that occurred on or after 14 April 2024, due to the data incident 2, you could receive the payout up to $2,500.
- Tier 3 payment: If you do not have documented loss, you can go for the alternative compensation option, tier 3 cash payment, which will be equally distributed among all members.
- Overlap class member groups: If you meet the eligibility conditions for both data incidents, you can claim both. If you have claimed the documented loss in both, you can receive the highest payout of $7500.
