Proof of Purchase
To file online you generally need the unique ID and PIN from your settlement notice (contact the administrator if lost). Out-of-pocket expense claims require receipts or proof of payment. Lost-time claims require a brief description of the activities and hours. Identity-theft/fraud loss claims require documentation of the loss and evidence linking it to the breach and any recovery attempts (e.g., insurance denials). The $45 alternative payment requires no documentation. Claims can be filed online, by mail (paper form) or by requesting a form via phone/email.
Settlement Summary
In October 2023 Brodart Co. discovered a targeted cyberattack that allegedly exposed workers’ compensation audit files containing unredacted Social Security numbers and other sensitive personal information—names, addresses, DOBs, financial and medical details. Plaintiffs say Brodart failed to keep that data secure, prompting a class action that the company agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation. Under the proposed deal, eligible U.S. residents whose files were compromised can claim one of several remedies: up to $2,500 for documented identity-theft losses, up to $1,000 for out-of-pocket expenses (including up to $80 for lost time), a no-document $45 cash option, plus one year of tri-bureau credit monitoring, $1 million in identity-theft insurance and other services; the claim deadline is May 8, 2026. This settlement follows a familiar pattern in recent breach litigation—large companies like Equifax and Capital One have faced similar class claims—highlighting both consumer harm and corporate risk when personal data is mishandled. Beyond payouts, these cases underscore the practical impact of state breach-notification laws, Federal Trade Commission expectations for reasonable data security, and potential state attorney general enforcement; they also spotlight best practices companies should adopt (data minimization, encryption of SSNs, regular security audits) and the continued need for individuals to monitor credit and identity protections after a breach.
