California Department Of Corrections data breach settlement
California Department Of Corrections settled a data breach claim for $1.8 million. The claim window closed on February 14, 2025, so this one can no longer be claimed — but new settlements open all the time, and some are paying out right now. The free check tells you in seconds whether your email is in a breach that still pays.

Being in the breach is not the same as being in the class. Class membership usually turns on having received the company’s own notice letter, and only the settlement administrator can confirm it. We are not lawyers, we take no fee from any claim, and we never file on anyone’s behalf.
