T-Mobile agreed to pay $350 million as part of a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it failed to prevent a data breach that affected 76 million Americans; consumers must submit a claim form to benefit.
The settlement benefits individuals whose information was compromised in the T-Mobile data breach announced Aug. 16, 2021.
In August 2021, T-Mobile announced it had been the victim of a data breach that compromised sensitive information of current, former and prospective customers. The breach did not affect financial information but did compromise sensitive personal identifiers such as names, addresses, dates of birth, ID information and even some Social Security numbers.
“We spend lots of time and effort to try to stay a step ahead of them, but we didn’t live up to the expectations we have for ourselves to protect our customers,” T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert said in the data breach announcement. “Knowing that we failed to prevent this exposure is one of the hardest parts of this event.”
Consumers quickly took legal action against T-Mobile, arguing the company failed to live up to its promises that consumers can trust it with their sensitive information.
Plaintiffs in the case argue that the data breach could have been prevented or mitigated through reasonable cybersecurity measures but, due to T-Mobile’s negligence, occurred due to subpar protections.
T-Mobile hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $350 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations.
Under the terms of the T-Mobile settlement, class members who submit a claim form can collect a cash payment.
Class members can receive reimbursement for up to $25,000 in unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses. This includes payments for credit monitoring, identity theft, fraud, other expenses and up to 15 hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour, or class members’ documented hourly wage if they took time off work.
Class members who do not wish to submit a claim form for lost time or out-of-pocket expenses can receive an alternative payment of $25 or $100 if they lived in California on Aug. 1, 2021.
Class members can also receive two years of identity protection services through Pango. These services include TransUnion credit monitoring, monthly credit scores, real time authentication alerts, dark web monitoring, transaction monitoring, $1 million in identity theft insurance and other benefits.
In addition, the settlement provides additional restoration services for class members who suffer from identity theft or fraud as a result of the data breach.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 8, 2022.
The final approval hearing for the T-Mobile data breach class action lawsuit settlement is scheduled for Jan. 20, 2023.
In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Jan. 23, 2023.

236 thoughts onT-Mobile data breach $350M class action settlement
The Settlement was for $350,000,000, there were 40,000 claimants who are supposed to get %60 of that. If you think Labaton Sucharow is on the level, do the math. They are claiming it’s a “different” settlement with a “private” judge, but I have repeatedly requested paperwork that outlines this (plus the court location and judges name) and they will not send it. They keep calling trying to schmooze me over the phone. I’m like “Oh, come on!”. It’s laughable. I contacted Senate Appropriations, but they must be buying them with our money. As for the math, it comes to $9000.00 each. We’ll need new lawyers to sue these. Any suggestions?
Please give me a response from what I know about the amount of settlement also the settlement administrator and council
