Who may qualify?
The covered group includes living U.S. residents sent notice by Benworth Capital Partners that their private information may have been affected by the incident. The notice’s exclusions apply.
What could you receive?
Eligible claimants can choose an alternative cash payment estimated at $50. The notice calls it an estimate, so the final amount may change. Instead, claimants may seek reimbursement of documented losses up to $5,000. One year of credit monitoring is provided automatically without a claim.
What information is needed?
The estimated $50 alternative cash payment does not require documentation of losses. Online filing asks for the Login ID and PIN from the notice. Documented-loss reimbursement requires supporting records.
What dates matter?
Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by December 21, 2026. The opt-out deadline is December 4, 2026. The administrator currently lists a final approval hearing on January 5, 2027. A hearing date does not establish final approval or payment.
Who may qualify
Living individuals residing in the United States who were sent notice by Benworth Capital Partners that their private information may have been affected by the data incident may qualify, subject to the settlement exclusions.
What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. The estimated $50 alternative cash payment does not require documentation of losses. Online filing asks for the Login ID and PIN from the notice. Documented-loss reimbursement requires supporting records.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Simpluris is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and keep track of settlement deadlines.
