Class-action settlement · Open
Olinsky & Associates data breach settlement
Olinsky & Associates, a Syracuse law firm that handles Social Security disability cases, has agreed to settle claims over a cyberattack on its systems on January 28, 2025. If you were among the roughly 526 people the firm identified and notified, you may be eligible for a $40 payment and an activation code for three years of credit monitoring with identity theft insurance. There is nothing to file: the administrator pays the people it has already identified, by check unless you use the optional election form by December 2, 2026 to take the money electronically. The court considers final approval on December 2, 2026, and nothing on the official settlement site costs anything.
There is no claim form for this one. The administrator pays consumers it has already identified, so the useful step is to make sure they can reach you — not to file anything. Anyone offering to file it for you, for a fee, is selling you nothing.
When the money moves

Expected
The court considers final approval on December 2, 2026 in Syracuse; the notice says payments follow approval and any appeals, and gives no distribution date.
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.
