Okanogan Behavioral Healthcare data breach settlement

Who may be eligible

Okanogan Behavioral Healthcare has agreed to settle a class action over a data breach it discovered in May 2024, which the lawsuit says exposed patients' names, Social Security numbers, driver's licence numbers and treatment information. If you were sent written notice, you may be eligible for up to $300 in documented ordinary losses and up to $5,000 in documented extraordinary losses, and you may choose either a flat $50 cash payment or two years of medical identity monitoring. Claims close on December 1, 2026 and the fairness hearing is set for January 28, 2027. Filing on the official site is free, and the online form opens with the unique ID and PIN from the notice.

The notice states no state limit, so it is usually nationwide. Covered: Okanogan Behavioral Healthcare patient 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 $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.

Documented losses are capped at $300 for ordinary expenses and $5,000 for extraordinary ones, so up to $5,300 in all, and both need paperwork. On top of that a class member picks either a one-off $50 cash payment or two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete monitoring with $1,000,000 of identity theft protection, not both. Class counsel asks for no more than $200,000 in fees and a service award of up to $5,000 for the class representative. Every figure here is an estimate rather than a promise, and the administrator decides each claim.

What the deadline is

The claim deadline is December 1, 2026.

The deadline to opt out or object is November 2, 2026.

The court's fairness hearing is set for January 28, 2027; payments do not go out until the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved.

The notice says benefits follow the court's final approval, which it considers at a fairness hearing on January 28, 2027 at the Okanogan County Courthouse.

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.
