The Circuit Court of Tuscaloosa County, Alabama has not ruled in favor of either side.

Eligible class members may request up to $1,000 for documented ordinary losses or up to $5,000 for documented extraordinary losses and time. The settlement also offers three years of credit monitoring and a residual cash payment of up to $550. Time claims pay $40 per hour for up to 10 hours and count toward the $5,000 limit. The administrator may reduce cash payments based on valid claims and settlement costs.

Am I eligible for the Peco Foods data breach settlement?
