California Casualty
California Casualty Data Breach Settlement
Living U.S. residents affected by California Casualty’s September 2025 data incident may qualify for a $50 alternative cash payment. Claims are due November 16, 2026. Documented-loss reimbursement is a separate option.
Key facts
The lawsuit alleges that a September 2025 cyberattack exposed private information held by California Casualty. The court has not decided which side is right.
Who may qualify?
The covered group includes living U.S. residents whose personally identifiable information was affected by the incident discovered in September 2025, including notice recipients. The notice’s exclusions apply.
What could you receive?
Eligible claimants may choose $50 alternative cash instead of documented-loss reimbursement. The other cash route covers up to $4,000 in qualifying, unreimbursed losses. Two years of credit monitoring are also available.
What information is needed?
Loss receipts are not needed for the $50 alternative. Online filing asks for the Login ID and PIN from the notice. Reimbursement requires records connecting qualifying losses to the incident; personal notes alone are insufficient.
What dates matter?
Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by November 16, 2026. The exclusion deadline was November 4, 2026. A final approval hearing is scheduled for December 4, 2026. Payment depends on final approval and any appeals being resolved.
Who may qualify
Living U.S. residents whose personal information was affected by the incident discovered in September 2025, including notice recipients, may qualify.
What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. Loss receipts are not needed for the $50 alternative. Online filing asks for the Login ID and PIN from the notice. Reimbursement requires records connecting qualifying losses to the incident; personal notes alone are insufficient.
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.
