The Home Depot Inc. has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit with consumers whose email or payment card information was stolen as a result of a data breach.
If you used a credit or debit card at a self-checkout lane in a Home Depot store between Apr. 10, 2014 and Sept. 13, 2014 or received notice from Home Depot that your information was compromised as a result of the data breach, you may be entitled to benefits from the data breach class action settlement.
In September 2014, Home Depot announced that it had been affected by a data breach that compromised the credit and debit card information from customers who used a self-checkout counter at U.S. Home Depot stores. The criminals also allegedly obtained a separate file that contained email addresses of some Home Depot customers.
The retailer was subsequently hit with several Home Depot data breach class action lawsuits filed by customers who claimed Home Depot failed to adequately safeguard their payment card and personal information. The plaintiffs also alleged that Home Depot did not provide affected customers with timely notice of the data breach.
Home Depot denies the allegations but agreed to settle the data breach class action lawsuit to avoid the cost and uncertainty of trial.
Home Depot has agreed to establish a $13 million Settlement Fund to provide compensation to consumer with documented losses linked to the Home Depot data breach. Home Depot has also agreed to provide 18 months of free identity monitoring services to customers who used a credit or debit card at a self-checkout lane in a Home Depot store.

I’m glad you guys are getting your checks! This is great news! I figured they was going to cap it at the 10K. So hopefully mines is in the mail as well. My 1st check was almost 2K. So I probably get around 8K. I’m happy for you all.
I just got off the phone with KCC, NO Checks have been mailed!! All of these people are not telling the truth!!
KCC -866-627-2104
Shirley how much was your first one estimate? Did you claim over 10,000 and did this make you whole?
Did everyone send in their W9 with certified mail?
So you received your second check already? I also had documented proof. Wait a minute, if their capping at 10,000 and you have documented evidence than your first check could only have been about 20.00. This doesn’t add up guys..
Oh ok. Good for you. Now let me borrow 150.00 until the 35th of November lol.
How ago did you send in your W9?
How long ago did you send in your W9?
Sept 26th.
I was asking Joshep but glad you posted your date. I sent mine in either the 26th also. (maybe the 27th)
Or were you asking Joseph? I’m curious as well
What state you in?
Checks will not be out till October 18th!
Lies post on facebook!
Where did you get Oct 18th from? I sorta estimated that myself, but it’s not set in stone. I also figured they can go out at any day since no taxes aren’t being deducted anyways, the w9 form only states a $50 penalty may result. With that being said, maybe as they receive the w9 form, they issue each check according to when they receive it. I certified mine in through the post office to make sure it doesn’t get lost in the mail. They got it, because I received the green card back in the mail. So if Joseph did indeed receive his check, and my theory is correct, I should have mine by the end of the week.
I thought I read in the court doc’s that checks will be dispersed within 90 days after July 18th.. Hopefully in a few days!
Yes, It did say they shall complete distribution within 90 days and give a status to the courts within 90 days, meaning October 18th. Some people 1st checks were as low as $25 and $200 so these bigger check amounts will vary. But 9 times out of ten, they are capping each claim at the max $10K. It was a lot of money left over. Enough to pay our max claims and give to the 3 named recepients. I lost a good amount with this data breach, and had a documented claim like most of you, so I think it’s well deserved and I’m thankful for whatever it is. I’ve learned to pay attention to ALL my accounts on a weekly, if not daily basis and I now have id monitoring and theft protection! Lesson learned
I certified mine as well.
Was that the amount of your proof? Wow!
Thanks for all the info Rona! Fingers crossed.
You’re welcome ?
