CBIZ
CBIZ Data Breach Settlement
People mailed a notice that their information may have been compromised in the 2024 CBIZ data incident can claim an estimated $100 cash payment. Claims are due December 24, 2026. The estimate assumes a 10% claims rate, so the final amount may change.
Key facts
The lawsuit asserts claims related to a 2024 data incident in which an unauthorized party accessed information maintained by CBIZ Benefits & Insurance Services, including in some cases names and Social Security numbers. CBIZ denies any wrongdoing or that it can be held liable for the claims.
Who may qualify?
The class is made up of people CBIZ sent a notice saying their private information may have been compromised in the 2024 data incident, roughly 19,990 people in all. Membership is checked against the list of people the administrator mailed. Anyone who opts out, the judge assigned to the case and court staff working on it, CBIZ officers and directors, and anyone found guilty of or pleading no contest to a charge of involvement in the incident are excluded.
What could you receive?
Every class member can claim a pro rata cash payment. The settlement estimates it at about $100, assuming 10% of the class files claims, and the actual amount will increase or decrease based on the money left after fees, costs, administration, service awards and valid loss claims. Claimants can also seek reimbursement of documented out-of-pocket losses up to $5,000, and both benefits can be claimed together. If loss claims exceed half of the net fund, they are reduced pro rata. The total CBIZ can be required to pay under the settlement is capped at $485,000.
What information is needed?
A valid claim form is all the pro rata cash payment requires, with no proof of a loss. Claimants seeking out-of-pocket reimbursement must also send documentation of those losses, and self-prepared documents alone are not enough.
What dates matter?
Claims must be submitted on or before December 24, 2026. The exclusion and objection deadline is November 24, 2026. A final approval hearing is scheduled for January 13, 2027. A scheduled hearing does not mean the settlement has final approval, and no payment date has been announced.
Who may qualify
People who were mailed a notice that their personal information may have been compromised in the 2024 CBIZ data incident may qualify. The class includes roughly 19,990 people.
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 pro rata cash payment does not require proof of a loss. Out-of-pocket reimbursement requires documentation, and self-prepared documents alone are not enough.
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.
