About roughly one month remains to file in the Sequoia Benefits Class Action Settlement. That might sound like plenty of time, but these deadlines have a habit of sneaking up. The cutoff is March 11, 2026.

Claim Deadline Coming Up

You have until March 11, 2026 to file a claim. With roughly one month to go, now is a good time to get this taken care of while it is on your radar.

Breaking Down the Settlement Amount

This settlement has multiple payout tiers. The $9 Million fund will be distributed based on the type and extent of your claim, with the maximum settlement payout reaching $7,500 for those with documented expenses:

• Reimbursementfor Out-of-Pocket Losses: Up to $7,500 for documented unreimbursed costs fairly traceable to the data breach.
• Lost Time: Compensation for up to 4 hours of time spent remedying issues related to the breach at $30 per hour (included in the $7,500 cap).
• Alternative Cash Payment: A flat cash payment estimated at $75.
• California Statutory Payment: Residents of California between Sept 22 and Oct 6, 2022, are eligible for an additional payment estimated at $150 (Totaling ~$225).

Keep in mind that $7,500 is the cap for documented claims. Class members who file without proof of specific losses can typically expect closer to $75.

Here is the reality of class actions: the more people who file a claim, the smaller each settlement check. But even a modest payment is worth the two minutes it takes to file.
