Who was covered

The settlement benefits individuals who were affected by the Preferred Home data breach that occurred between Jan. 8 and Jan. 10, 2021. The settlement includes a subclass of individuals whose Social Security numbers were potentially compromised in the data breach.

Where to claim

The administrator’s site is AssistCareDataSettlement.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.
