It's been over since T-Mobile customers applied for a 2022 class action lawsuit resolution for a portion of wireless carriers. But starting next month, eligible people should start seeing their payments arrive. The settlement is the result of a class action lawsuit filed against T-Mobile after the 2021 cyber attack revealed the personal data of 76 million U.S. customers (name, address and social security number). In 2022, T-Mobile agreed to a $350 million settlement to resolve claims that its negligence caused a data breach. After Equifax's $700 million settlement in 2019, it remains the second largest data breach settlement in U.S. history.
How much will each person get?
If your data is exposed but you haven't submitted it, it's too late to enter the solution. Everything is over except for the distribution of the checks. T-Mobile agreed to pay $350 million to the Settlement Fund, which will be used to pay out on-the-pocket expenses, loss of time, make cash payments, provide identity defense services, provide recovery services, provide recovery services, notify class members of the class members, pay settlements, pay class representatives, and pay class representatives for litigation fees and fees and fees.
According to the Hill, some people may pay less than $25, as priority is given to those who can prove they suffer out-of-pocket losses. Those who claim valid for identity defense services will receive information on how to activate these services. Money payments will be made in the manner chosen by each customer when submitting, which may mean that paper checks will be sent, or digital deposits will be made.
