$18M Yale New Haven Health Services data breach class action settlement

Yale New Haven Health Services Corp. has agreed to an $18 million settlement to resolve claims that it failed to prevent a 2025 data breach that compromised sensitive patient information.

The settlement benefits individuals who received a data breach notice from Yale New Haven Health Services informing them that their private information may have been compromised in a data breach discovered on March 8, 2025.

According to claims made by the plaintiffs in the data breach class action lawsuit, Yale New Haven failed to protect their information from a 2025 data breach. The breach compromised sensitive personal identifiers, such as Social Security numbers, addresses, birth dates and medical information.

Yale New Haven Health Services is a health system that serves Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Yale New Haven has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $18 million to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Yale New Haven settlement, class members can receive either documented or undocumented losses.

Class members who experienced documented losses as a result of the data breach can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement. This reimbursement covers expenses, such as fraud, identity theft, credit expenses and other losses. Class members must provide documentation, such as receipts, emails and correspondence, to receive these payments.

Class members who did not experience documented losses can receive a smaller payment of $100.

All class members, regardless of whether they experienced documented or undocumented losses, can receive two years of free medical data monitoring.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Jan. 20, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the Yale New Haven data breach settlement is scheduled for March 3, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Feb. 18, 2026.
