Dairy Farmers of America data incident settlement
Dairy Farmers of America has settled a class action over a June 2025 data incident, filed as Jason Buhl v. Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. If you were sent notice that your personal information was caught up in it, you may be eligible to claim either an alternative cash payment expected to be around $55.00 with no proof at all, or up to $4,500.00 for documented out-of-pocket losses suffered between June 11, 2025 and October 14, 2026 if you can attach bank statements or receipts. Every cash payment comes out of one $475,000.00 aggregate cap, so the $55.00 figure is an estimate that falls if a lot of people claim. Claims close October 14, 2026, two years of credit monitoring is also on offer, opt-outs and objections were due September 14, 2026, and filing on the official settlement site is free.

Jason Buhl v. Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. · WY-2026-CV-000143 · District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas
Two tiers: a no-proof cash payment expected to be about $55.00, possibly less, or up to $4,500.00 for documented out-of-pocket losses from June 11, 2025 to October 14, 2026, with bank statements or receipts (personal notes are not enough). All cash payments share a $475,000.00 cap and shrink pro rata if claims exhaust it, so every figure is an estimate. Two years of CyEx Financial Shield Total monitoring ($1 million fraud insurance) is also offered. The online form needs the LoginID and PIN from the mailed notice; the administrator supplies them on request, or a paper form can be mailed.
