Chimienti & Associates data breach settlement
Chimienti & Associates has agreed to a $650,000 settlement over a March 2024 cyberattack that the complaint says reached names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, state ID numbers, financial account details and health information. If you were notified that your information was involved, you may be eligible for a pro rata cash payment of up to $100 with no receipts, or up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses, plus two years of credit monitoring. Claims close December 28, 2026 and the court considers final approval on January 12, 2027. Filing on the official settlement site is free.

The notice sets a final approval hearing for January 12, 2027. No payment date is published, and cash payments are pro rata.
Read off the official notice, in its own words. These dates slip — an appeal can move a distribution by a year or more — so treat it as the administrator's plan rather than a schedule.

David Fonseca v. Chimienti & Associates · VCU315048 · Superior Court of California, County of Tulare
Either a one-time pro rata cash payment of up to $100 with no receipts, or reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses incurred between March 22, 2024 and December 28, 2026. Every class member may also enroll in two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete monitoring. The fund is $650,000 and cash is paid pro rata, so $100 is a ceiling and an estimate, not a promise. The online form needs the LoginID and PIN printed on the mailed notice; a printable claim form is published for mailing instead.
