Claim Form Login
If you are a living individual residing in the United States and your Private Information was potentially impacted during the targeted cyberattack on Chimienti & Associates in March 2024, then you may be a Settlement Class Member and eligible for benefits. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (a) directors, officers, and employees of Defendant; (b) the Judge assigned to the Action, that Judge’s immediate family, and Court staff; and (c) any Settlement Class Member who timely and validly opted out of the Settlement.
If you are a Settlement Class Member and wish to receive Settlement Benefits then you must submit a Claim Form by December 28, 2026.
Chimienti has agreed to create a $650,000.00 Settlement Fund. This fund will be used to pay for all costs of litigation, and for the Settlement Class Benefits that are explained below.
All Settlement Class Members may claim Credit Monitoring and claim one of the two Cash Payment options. The benefits are explained in more detail below.
Credit Monitoring. All Class Members are eligible to enroll in two (2) years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete. This comprehensive service comes with $1 million of financial fraud insurance, and includes monitoring for:
If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Cash Payment A - Documented Losses. Class Members who incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Incident, can get back up to $5,000.00. The losses must have occurred between March 22, 2024, and December 28, 2026, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
losses because of identity theft or fraud
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
You need to submit proof, like receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. Your personal certifications, declarations, or affidavits do not constitute reasonable documentation to make a valid claim, but you may include that to provide clarification, context, or support for other submitted reasonable documentation showing that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
Cash Payment B - Alternate Cash Instead of Cash Payment A, you may claim a one-time $100.00 cash payment.
There is an aggregate cap of $650,000.00 on these benefits. This means that if the total value of benefits claimed is over $650,000.00, everyone’s payments will be reduced pro rata so that they add up to $650,000.00.
