Fairmont Federal Credit Union
Fairmont Federal Credit Union Data Breach Settlement
People whose information was potentially impacted in the Fairmont Federal Credit Union data incident may claim up to $150 in alternative cash, subject to pro rata adjustment, or seek documented losses instead. Claims are due December 18, 2026.
Key facts
The lawsuit alleges Fairmont Federal Credit Union failed to protect private information in a data incident it disclosed in April 2025. The credit union denies wrongdoing.
Who may qualify?
People in the United States whose private information was potentially affected may qualify, subject to the exclusions in the notice.
What could you receive?
Eligible claimants can request up to $150 in alternative cash, subject to pro rata adjustment, instead of documented losses up to $7,500 and up to four hours of attested time at $35 per hour. Three years of credit monitoring and identity restoration are available with either option.
What proof is required?
The alternative cash option requires a valid claim but no loss receipts. Reimbursement requires supporting records, and attested time requires a description.
When are claims due?
File online by 11:59 p.m. Eastern or postmark a mailed claim by December 18, 2026. The exclusion and objection deadline is also December 18. The final approval hearing is scheduled for February 8, 2027.
Who may qualify
People in the United States whose private information was potentially impacted in the Fairmont Federal Credit Union data incident publicly disclosed on or about April 30, 2025 may qualify, subject to the notice 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. No loss receipts are required for the alternative cash option. Documented losses require supporting records and attested time requires a description.
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?
Kroll Settlement Administration LLC 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.
