The official website for the Dameron Hospital data breach settlement can be found at DameronHospitalSettlement.com.

The $650,000 deal, which was preliminarily approved by the court on December 12, 2024, covers anyone the California-based hospital identified as among those impacted by the data breach, including all who received notice of the incident.

To receive Dameron Hospital data breach settlement benefits, eligible class members must file a valid claim form online or by mail by April 22, 2025.

Class members can submit a claim form online on this page. To file a claim form online, you will need to provide your unique class member ID, which is typically found on the personalized settlement notice issued to covered individuals to inform them about the deal.

Those who prefer to file by mail can download a PDF claim form or call 833-876-1201 to request a paper copy from the settlement administrator.

As part of the deal, class members who submit a timely, valid claim form will be eligible to receive one year of complimentary credit monitoring services, the Dameron Hospital settlement website says.

In addition, consumers may file a claim, with reasonable supporting documentation, to receive up to $5,000 in compensation per person to recover unreimbursed monetary losses incurred as a result of the data breach, the site shares. According to the website, qualifying losses may include expenses related to fraud or identity theft; fees for attorneys, accountants or credit repair services; costs associated with freezing or unfreezing credit with a credit reporting agency; notary, fax, postage, mileage or long-distance phone charges; and other similar expenses.

Alternatively, class members may submit a claim for a cash payout in lieu of credit monitoring services and reimbursement for monetary losses, the site relays. Class members outside of California are eligible to receive a $50 cash payment, while California residents are entitled to $100, the website says.

Per the site, the final settlement payout amount may be adjusted depending on the total number of valid claims that are filed.

It is now up to the court to decide whether to grant final approval to the terms of the settlement agreement at a hearing set for May 29, 2025. Dameron Hospital settlement benefits will be issued to eligible class members only if the court ultimately approves the deal, and after the appeals process is complete.
