Extra details
- All class members can claim credit monitoring and reimbursement. Only Group 1 (SSN exposed) can take the $50 cash instead.
- The $50 cash replaces every other benefit, so do the math before you pick it.
- You cannot claim for losses a third party already paid you back for.
- File only through the official site. Breach settlements draw copycat scam sites like moths to a porch light.
