Who qualifies for this settlement?
U.S. residents whose personal information was accessed or potentially accessed in the March 2023 Panda Restaurant Group data breach, including anyone who received a notification letter from PRG about the incident.
What documented losses can I claim?
Examples include costs for credit monitoring, unauthorized charges, card replacement fees, late fees caused by fraud, credit freeze costs, and other unreimbursed expenses reasonably tied to the breach — as long as they were incurred on or after March 7, 2024.
Do I need proof to file a claim?
Only if you're claiming Documented Losses (up to $5,000). The Pro Rata Cash Payment (~$100) and California Statutory Payment (~$125) require no documentation.
I live in California — do I get more money?
Yes. California residents may be eligible for an additional statutory cash payment estimated at approximately $125, on top of the standard ~$100 Pro Rata Cash Payment.
Can the cash payment amounts change?
Yes. Both the Pro Rata and California Statutory payments will be adjusted up or down depending on the total number of valid claims filed and the amount remaining in the Settlement Fund after other expenses are covered.
What happens if I do nothing?
You will not receive any benefits, and if the Settlement receives final approval, you will give up your right to sue Panda Restaurant Group over claims related to this Security Incident.
How do I opt out?
Submit the opt-out form at https://prgbreachsettlement.com/opt-out/ or mail a signed letter stating your intent to be excluded, postmarked by March 23, 2026, to the Settlement Administrator's exclusion address.
