Expected

The notice says payment follows court approval and the settlement becoming final, and asks class members to be patient. The final approval hearing is listed as February 16, 2027.

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.

Who may be eligible

Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health Authority, an Alabama mental health provider, has agreed to a non-reversionary $700,000 fund over a cyberattack it identified on or around November 25, 2025; notice letters went out on March 9, 2026. If you were sent one, you may be eligible for either up to $5,000 of documented losses or a flat $100 cash payment that rises or falls pro rata with the number of claims, and separately for three years of one-bureau credit monitoring with at least $1,000,000 of identity theft insurance. Claims close on December 23, 2026, exclusions and objections on November 23, 2026, and the final approval hearing is February 16, 2027. Filing on the official site is free; the claim form asks for the unique ID and passcode printed on your notice, and the figures are estimates rather than guarantees.

The notice states no state limit, so it is usually nationwide. Covered: Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health Authority patient and employee records.

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 $100. 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 elects one cash option: Cash Payment A reimburses up to $5,000 of documented losses backed by third-party documents, while Cash Payment B is a flat $100 that moves up or down pro rata with the number of claims. A claim that fails the documentation test is treated as Cash Payment B. Every class member may separately claim three years of one-bureau credit monitoring with at least $1,000,000 of identity theft insurance. The form needs the unique ID and passcode on the notice. Amounts are estimates.

What the deadline is

The claim deadline is December 23, 2026.

The deadline to opt out or object is November 23, 2026.

The court's fairness hearing is set for February 16, 2027; payments do not go out until the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved.

The notice says payment follows court approval and the settlement becoming final, and asks class members to be patient. The final approval hearing is listed as February 16, 2027.

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.
