Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Capital Health Data Breach Litigation about?
Plaintiffs allege that an unauthorized party accessed Capital Health Systems’ network between November 11 and 26, 2023, exposing sensitive personal data. Capital Health denies wrongdoing but agreed to a $4.5 million settlement to resolve the claims.
Do I need proof of identity theft to claim benefits?
No. You can receive the estimated $100 Alternative Cash Payment without documentation. Proof is only required if you seek reimbursement for documented losses up to $5,000.
How will I receive my payment?
After the Court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved, the settlement administrator will distribute payments via check or digital payment, depending on the option you select on the claim form.
What happens if I do nothing?
You will forfeit any cash or credit-monitoring benefits and still be bound by the settlement’s release, meaning you cannot sue Capital Health over this data breach in the future.
