Home Depot Data Breach Class Action Settlement Checks Mailed

Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a class action settlement that accused Home Depot of failing to protect customers’ debit and credit card information from a 2014 data breach.

According to comments and posts on the Top Class Actions Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the Home Depot class action settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $5,780 on April 3, 2017.

If you filed a claim for the Home Depot data breach settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!

The class action settlement resolves allegations that roughly 40 million Home Depot customers were negatively affected by a massive data breach which targeted self-checkout kiosks at the home improvement chain.

Home Depot agreed to pay $13 million to end the class action, in addition to paying for 18 months of identity protection for all Class Members.

Class Members included Home Depot customers who used a “credit or debit card at a self-checkout lane at a U.S. Home Depot store between April 10, 2014 and September 13, 2014.”

The deadline to file a claim for the Home Depot class action settlement passed on October 29, 2016.
