WebTPA Settlement: Eligibility, Claims, and Payment Timing

The WebTPA settlement is a $13.75 million class action resolving claims that WebTPA Employer Services and three co-defendants failed to protect data belonging to roughly 2.4 million people whose information was exposed in an April 2023 breach.¹²³

Who Qualifies

The class covers every person in the United States who received a notification from WebTPA, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company, Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company, or Elevance Health stating that their personal information was potentially compromised in the breach.⁴ Notification letters went out beginning May 8, 2024.¹

A California subclass covers class members who lived in California between April 18 and April 23, 2023, the dates of the intrusion. Governing board members of any defendant, government entities, the presiding judge and court staff, and anyone who submitted a timely opt-out request are excluded. Class members who did not opt out are bound by the release of claims whether or not they filed.²

What You Can Claim

Claimants had to pick one of two cash options, plus optional add-ons.

Reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach, such as identity theft or fraud expenses. Claimants needed reasonable supporting documentation and an attestation under penalty of perjury.⁴
An estimated $100 flat cash payment with no documentation required. This option and the documented-loss option cannot both be claimed. The actual amount will adjust up or down based on total valid claims.¹
An estimated $50 additional statutory payment for California subclass members.⁴
Two years of CyEx Medical Shield monitoring, available to any class member. The service watches for medical identity theft, sends real-time alerts on suspicious healthcare data use, and comes with up to $1,000,000 in medical identity theft insurance and no deductible.⁴⁵

Losses already reimbursed by another source, including credit monitoring the defendants previously provided, cannot be claimed again.² If total valid claims exceed the money available for class benefits, individual payments will be reduced proportionally; if claims fall short, payments increase proportionally.⁶

The $13.75 million fund also covers attorneys’ fees of up to $4,582,875, litigation costs of $37,356.94, service awards of up to $1,500 for each of the 12 class representatives, and administration expenses paid to Kroll Settlement Administration.⁶³

Deadlines That Have Passed

The deadline to file a claim was November 4, 2025. The deadline to opt out or object was October 20, 2025.²⁷ If you received a notification letter but did not file by November 4, 2025, and did not opt out, you are still bound by the release but will not receive a payment.

When Will Payments Go Out

The court granted preliminary approval on August 20, 2025.⁸⁹⁴

On June 9, 2026, Magistrate Judge David L. Horan filed a Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation advising Judge Sam A. Lindsay to grant final approval, along with the requested attorneys’ fees, costs, and service awards. The plaintiffs filed a notice of non-opposition on June 15, 2026, and an individual named Alejandro T. Gonzalez filed a response or objection the following day.³

No payments will be distributed until Judge Lindsay signs a final approval order and any appeal window closes. The settlement FAQ notes that appeals, if filed, can add substantial time, and processing claims takes further time after that.²
