Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses such as bank fees, credit-monitoring costs, or identity-theft losses. Receipts or other third-party proof are required. - Cash Payment B – Flat Payment (est. $125)
If you do not claim documented losses, you may elect a one-time cash payment instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Arden Claims Service LLC Data Incident Settlement about?
The class action alleges a cyber-attack on October 17 2023 exposed personal data such as names and Social Security numbers. Arden denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid litigation risk.
Am I automatically included?
Yes, if you received an individual notice from Arden that your information may have been impacted. No registration is required to be in the class, but you must file a claim to receive benefits.
How much money can I get?
Up to $5,000 for proven out-of-pocket losses or an estimated $125 flat payment, subject to pro-rata adjustment based on the number of valid claims.
What happens if I miss the February 3 2026 claim deadline?
You will forfeit any cash or credit-monitoring benefits but will still be bound by the settlement and lose the right to sue individually.
When will payments be sent?
Benefits are distributed after the Court grants final approval on February 18 2026 and any appeals are resolved, so payments could take several months after that date.
