If you are a living individual residing in the United States and your Private Information was implicated in the Data Incident experienced by Hillcrest Convalescent Center, Inc. in June 2024, then you may be a Class Member and eligible for benefits. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) Hillcrest and its officers, directors, and related companies; (2) governmental entities; and (3) the Judge in this case, and the Judge’s family and staff.
The Settlement Class includes the Group 1 Settlement Subclass and the Group 2 Settlement Subclass, defined as follows:
Group 1 Settlement Subclass Members: “Settlement Class Members who did have their Social Security number(s) among the Private Information potentially impacted in the Data Incident. A Settlement Class Member is either a Group 1 Settlement Subclass Member or Group 2 Settlement Subclass Member; not both.”
Group 2 Settlement Subclass Members: “Settlement Class Members who did not have their Social Security number(s) among the Private Information potentially impacted in the Data Incident. A Settlement Class Member is either a Group 1 Settlement Subclass Member or Group 2 Settlement Subclass Member; not both.”
If you are a Class Member and wish to receive Settlement Benefits then you must submit a claim form by August 26, 2026.
All Settlement Class Members may claim Credit Monitoring Services and reimbursement for Documented Losses. Group 1 Settlement Subclass Members also have the option of a $50.00 Alternative Cash Payment. These benefits are explained in more detail below.
Option A: Credit Monitoring Services and/or Documented Losses
Credit Monitoring Services. All Settlement Class Members are eligible to enroll in two (2) years of CyEx Identity Defense Complete. This comprehensive service comes with $1 million in identity theft insurance, and includes:
If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Documented Losses (out-of-pocket expenses). If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket expenses due to the Data Incident, you can get back up to $2,500.00. The losses must have occurred between June 27, 2024, and August 26, 2026, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
losses because of identity theft or fraud
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
If you are claiming for Documented Losses, you need to send proof, like bank statements or receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. You can also send notes or papers you made yourself to explain or support other proof, but those notes or papers alone are not enough to make a valid claim. Your proof or notes should show that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
Option B: Alternative Cash Payment (Group 1 only). Instead of any other available benefit, Group 1 Settlement Subclass Member may claim a one-time cash payment. This payment is expected to be $50.00. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment.
Group 2 Settlement Subclass Members are not eligible to submit a Claim for Alternative Cash Payment.
