Who was covered

Individuals who received a notification letter from the District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority d/b/a DC Health Link stating their private information was or may have been compromised in a March 2023 data breach

Where to claim

The administrator’s site is DCHBXSettlement.com. The window is closed, so it is there for the record, not to file.

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.
