The Omni Family Health data breach settlement is a $6.5 million class action resolution that pays class members up to $5,000 for documented losses tied to the February 2024 cyberattack, plus an equal-share cash payment, an extra $100 for California residents, and two years of medical identity monitoring. The Kern County Superior Court granted final approval on March 9, 2026, with payments scheduled to go out roughly 60 days later.
What You Can Claim
The settlement fund is divided into several buckets, and a valid claim can draw from more than one.
- Reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses linked to the breach. Eligible costs include unreimbursed fraud or identity theft losses, attorney or credit repair fees, and charges to freeze or unfreeze credit reports. Self-prepared documents such as handwritten receipts were not accepted.
- A pro rata cash payment split equally among everyone who filed a valid claim, after fees and costs. Based on an assumed four-percent claims rate, the settlement administrator estimated each share at roughly $105.56.
- An additional $100 for anyone who lived in California at any point between August 7, 2024, and January 5, 2026, under the state’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. This payment is subject to pro rata reduction if the fund runs short.
- Two years of “Medical Shield Complete” service through CyEx, covering dark web monitoring of health insurance IDs and medical record numbers, credit monitoring, and a $1 million identity theft insurance policy.
Omni also agreed to implement business practice changes and enhanced data security measures at its own expense, separate from the fund. The specific measures were not publicly detailed.
About $2.2 million of the fund, roughly a third of the net settlement, was allocated to attorneys’ fees and costs. Each of the 20 named plaintiffs received a $1,500 service award.
Who Is a Class Member
The class covers all U.S. residents whose personal information was potentially compromised in the breach. Omni reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that 468,344 individuals were affected, and notification letters went out in the fall of 2024. If you received a notice from Omni Family Health about the incident, you are in the class.
Key Dates
The claim deadline was January 5, 2026. Claims were filed online through the settlement website or by mail to the administrator, Angeion Group, in Philadelphia. The opt-out and objection deadline was December 5, 2025.
Preliminary approval came on September 5, 2025. The final approval hearing was held on February 26, 2026, and the court entered its Final Approval Order and Judgment on March 9, 2026. Under the settlement terms, the administrator was to distribute payments approximately 60 days after final approval. As of mid-2026, no public reporting had confirmed that checks were in the mail, though that 60-day window has passed.
What the Breach Exposed
In February 2024, a cyberattack knocked Omni’s IT systems offline for five days. An initial investigation found no evidence of data theft. That changed on August 7, 2024, when Omni learned that a ransomware group calling itself Hunters International had claimed responsibility and posted stolen data on the dark web.
A follow-up investigation confirmed roughly 2.7 terabytes of information had been exfiltrated. Depending on the individual, the stolen data could include names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, health insurance details, medical and clinical records, driver’s licenses and other government IDs, and, for some employees, bank account information used for direct deposit. Omni offered affected individuals 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring through Experian IdentityWorks at the time of notification, which is separate from the CyEx service now available through the settlement.
Omni’s Position
Omni Family Health denied all allegations of wrongdoing and liability throughout the litigation. The organization said it had strong defenses and chose to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and uncertainty of trial. The consolidated case was captioned Pace v. Omni Family Health, Case No. BCV-25-102861, in the Superior Court of California, Kern County.
