Up to $500 First Financial Security Data Breach Settlement
By eosguide editorial · Last updated
Claim up to $500 plus 2 years of free credit monitoring from the First Financial Security data breach settlement. File by July 20, 2026. You would hope a company with Security in its name could hold onto a Social Security number. It could not, so the settlement covers two years of monitoring and up to $500 in documented losses.
What happened

- Anyone who received a data incident notification from First Financial Security around October 17, 2023 is included in the settlement.
