Fort Wayne Medical Education Program data incident settlement
Fort Wayne Medical Education Program says a targeted cyberattack in December 2024 reached files holding names, Social Security numbers and health information. If FWMEP sent you a notice about that incident you may be eligible for a flat $40 payment with no paperwork, or reimbursement of documented losses up to $5,000, and either option can be taken with two years of credit or medical monitoring. Claims close on October 27, 2026, and the online form opens only with the Login ID and PIN printed on the mailed notice, though a printable form can be mailed instead. Filing on the official settlement site is free, and only the administrator decides who is paid.

Expected
The court is scheduled to consider final approval on December 7, 2026. The settlement site publishes no distribution date, and payment timing in cases like this depends on approval and any appeals.
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.
