Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I’m part of the Center for Disability Services breach?

CFDS mailed notification letters to all individuals whose data was involved. If you received a letter—or if you were a patient, employee or donor during the affected period—your information may be at risk.

What compensation could I receive from a Center for Disability Services data breach lawsuit?

Victims often seek reimbursement for unreimbursed expenses, credit-monitoring costs, lost time, and potential statutory damages. The exact amount depends on state law and individual circumstances.

Is it safe to keep using CFDS services after the breach?

CFDS reports that it has secured its email environment and implemented additional safeguards. However, continue to monitor all accounts and communications for suspicious activity.

Does joining a lawsuit cost anything?

No. Most data breach class actions operate on a contingency-fee basis—meaning attorneys are paid only if they obtain a recovery for the class.

Data breach cases can take months to several years, depending on court schedules, settlement negotiations and the complexity of damages.

What if I’ve already suffered identity theft?

Document all fraudulent activity, file a police report and inform the FTC. These records strengthen any compensation claim you pursue.
