Benworth Capital Partners data incident settlement

Who may be eligible

Benworth Capital Partners, a Florida lender, has settled claims over a cyberattack on or about May 18, 2025 that reached names, addresses, Social Security numbers, telephone numbers and loan account details. The settlement covers people in the United States who were sent notice that their information may have been caught up in it, so if that letter reached you then you may be eligible. A claimant picks either a flat $50 with no paperwork or documented losses up to $5,000, and one year of credit monitoring is provided automatically. Claims close December 21, 2026, the online form needs the LoginID and PIN from the notice, and filing on the official site is free.

The notice states no state limit, so it is usually nationwide. Covered: Benworth Capital Partners loan accounts.

Only the official administrator or agency decides who is eligible. Read the official notice before filing, and file only if you believe you meet its criteria.

How much it may pay

About $50. Every figure here is an estimate from public materials, not a guarantee: many settlements pay pro rata or only after a claims review, so final amounts commonly land well below the advertised maximum.

A claimant picks one cash option: a flat $50 with no paperwork, or reimbursement of reasonable documented losses up to $5,000 traceable to the incident and incurred after May 18, 2025, which needs third-party proof such as telephone records, correspondence or receipts rather than self-prepared notes alone. One year of credit monitoring comes automatically with no claim needed. The online form needs the LoginID and PIN from the mailed notice; a paper form can be posted instead. The $50 is an estimate and is not guaranteed.

What the deadline is

The claim deadline is December 21, 2026.

The deadline to opt out or object is December 4, 2026.

The court's fairness hearing is set for January 5, 2027; payments do not go out until the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved.

The FAQ says benefits are provided after the court approves the settlement, that this may take time, and gives the final approval hearing as January 5, 2027. No payment date is published.

What proof is needed

Notice ID / PIN from the official letter or email may be required.

The official claim form states exactly what it accepts; gather it before you start.
