University Of Minnesota data breach settlement
University Of Minnesota settled a data breach claim for $5 million, with up to $30 per person. The claim window closed on December 24, 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.

Who was covered
Individuals whose personal information was maintained in or accessible via the University of Minnesota’s Legacy Data Warehouse as of Aug. 10, 2021. This includes individuals who submitted information to the university as a prospective student, attended the university as a student, worked at the university as an employee or participated in university programs between 1989 and Aug. 10, 2021.
Where to claim
The administrator’s site is UofMDataSettlement.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.
