$900,000 Paycom data breach class action settlement

A $900,000 Paycom settlement resolves claims that the company failed to protect the personally identifiable information of its customers from a data breach.

The Paycom class action settlement benefits all living individuals residing in the United States whose personal information was accessed or acquired in the data breach and whom Paycom notified of the incident between July 2023-October 2023.

According to the Paycom data breach class action, the company reportedly uses the MOVEit Transfer application for secure file transfers supporting client services and other functions. A threat actor allegedly accessed MOVEit’s data, resulting in unauthorized access to Paycom customers’ personal information.

Paycom provides human resources and payroll technology to businesses.

Paycom hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $900,000 to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Paycom settlement, class members may elect to receive cash reimbursements and credit monitoring or an alternative cash benefit.

Class members who incurred documented out-of-pocket losses related to the data breach can claim up to $2,500 per person. They may also submit a claim for up to four hours of time spent remedying identity theft or fraud, including misuse of personal information, credit monitoring, freezing credit reports or other issues related to the data breach, at $25 per hour for a total of $100 per person. This is included in the $2,500 maximum per person.

Settlement class members may also make a claim for reimbursement of documented losses stemming from fraud or identity theft related to the data breach up to $4,200 per person, as well as a claim for three years of credit-monitoring services.

In lieu of filing the above claims, class members can make a claim to receive an alternative cash payment of $25 per person.

The exclusion and objection deadline is Nov. 7, 2024.

The Final Fairness Hearing is scheduled for Dec. 13, 2024.

The claim form deadline is Nov. 7, 2024.
