Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health Authority
Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health Authority Data Breach Settlement
People whose private information was potentially affected in the November 2025 Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health Authority data security incident can claim a $100 flat cash payment. Claims are due December 23, 2026. The amount may rise or fall pro rata based on total claims.
Key facts
The lawsuit alleges that Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health Authority was negligent or otherwise responsible for failing to prevent a data security incident on or around November 25, 2025. The authority denies all allegations.
Who may qualify?
The class includes individuals residing in the United States or its territories whose private information was determined to have been potentially impacted in the data security incident on or around November 25, 2025. People who were sent a notice letter are included. Governing board members of the authority, governmental entities, the court with its immediate family and staff, and anyone who opts out are excluded. People unsure whether they are included can contact the settlement administrator, CPT Group.
What could you receive?
Eligible claimants can choose a $100 flat cash payment, which may increase or decrease pro rata based on total claims. Claimants can instead seek reimbursement of documented losses up to $5,000. These cash options are alternatives. Three years of credit monitoring can also be requested in addition to either option.
What information is needed?
The claim form asks for the CPT ID shown on the notice. The flat cash payment does not require documentation, while documented-loss claims need reasonable third-party documentation. A documented-loss claim that is not corrected when requested is treated as a flat cash claim.
What dates matter?
Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by December 23, 2026. The exclusion and objection deadline is November 23, 2026. A final fairness hearing is scheduled for February 16, 2027. A scheduled hearing does not mean the settlement has final approval, and no payment date has been announced.
Who may qualify
People residing in the United States or its territories whose private information was determined to have been potentially affected by the data security incident, including people sent a notice letter, 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. The flat cash payment needs the CPT ID from the notice but no documentation. Documented-loss claims need reasonable third-party documentation.
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?
CPT Group, Inc. 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.
