The DEADLINE to submit this Claim Form is January 8, 2025.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

If you were notified that your private information was potentially affected in a cyberattack experienced by Defendant Cinfed Credit Union (“Cinfed” or “Defendant”), you are a Class Member. This event is referred to here as the “Data Incident.”

The Settlement establishes a $700,000.00 fund to compensate Class Members for any lost time and out-of-pocket losses or expenses as well as for the costs of notice and administration, and attorneys’ fees and expenses as awarded by the Court. As a Class Member, you are eligible for cash payments as reimbursement for your time and money spent in response to the Data Incident (such as money spent on credit monitoring), as well as for any money you lost as a result of incidents of fraud or identity theft caused by the Data Incident. You must fill out this claim form to receive these benefits. You may submit a claim for one or more of these benefits, including that you may receive each of a pro rata cash payment and/or out-of-pocket loss payment. All payments for valid claims under the Settlement, including those for Pro Rata Cash Payment and Out-of-Pocket Expenses, may be reduced pro rata based on the total number of valid claims.
The benefits are as follows:

  1. Pro Rata Cash Payment: After distributing funds for the claims payments set forth above to claimants, as well as attorneys’ fees, Class Counsel’s litigation expenses, and Administrative Fees, if there is any money left over, the Settlement Administrator will make $65 pro rata settlement payments of the remaining Settlement Fund to each Settlement Class Member who submits a cash payment claim. The remaining amount of the Settlement Fund will be distributed pro rata for each Settlement Class Member who submits a valid claim, which may increase or decrease the $65 cash payment amount.

  2. Out-of-Pocket Expenses: You are eligible to receive reimbursement for money you paid to protect yourself from the Data Incident such as money spent on a credit monitoring service. You are also eligible to receive reimbursement for money you lost as a result of fraud or identity theft, if that money has not been reimbursed from another source. This includes:

    • Unreimbursed losses relating to fraud or identity theft;

    • Professional fees including attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and fees for credit repair services;

    • Costs associated with freezing or unfreezing credit with any credit reporting agency;

    • Credit monitoring costs that were incurred on or after the Data Incident through the date of claim submission;

    • Parking expenses or other transportation expenses for trips to a financial institution to address fraudulent charges or receive a replacement payment card;

    • Instances of verified fraud such as fraudulent bank or credit card charges, fraudulent tax filings, fraudulent opening/closing of bank or credit accounts, unemployment filings, or other fraudulent actions taken using your information from the Data Incident;

    • Miscellaneous expenses such as notary, fax, postage, copying, mileage, and long-distance telephone charges; and

    • Other expenses that are reasonably attributable to the Data Incident that were not reimbursed.

These Out-of-Pocket Expenses must be documented; you must submit copies of documents supporting your claims, such as receipts or other documentation. “Self-prepared” documents, such as handwritten receipts, will not count as documentation, but you can submit them as clarification to other, official documents.
