Hillcrest Convalescent Center Data Breach Settlement

Living U.S. individuals whose private information was implicated in the June 2024 Hillcrest data incident (Hillcrest's records identify class members; most received a notice). The $50 cash option is for the subclass whose Social Security number was impacted.

• Living U.S. resident whose info was implicated in the June 2024 Hillcrest incident
• $50 cash option requires being in the Social Security-number subclass (Group 1); credit monitoring needs no proof
• Documentation required only for the up-to-$2,500 documented-loss tier

Hillcrest Convalescent Center agreed to a settlement (In re Hillcrest Convalescent Center Data Breach Litigation, Durham County, NC) over a June 2024 cyberattack that may have accessed private information — names, addresses, financial account info, dates of birth, driver's license/government IDs, Social Security numbers, and medical/health-insurance details. The class is split into two subclasses: Group 1 (Social Security number impacted) and Group 2 (not). Your subclass determines which benefits you can choose. Hillcrest denies wrongdoing and settled to avoid the costs and risks of litigation.

Who's excluded: Excluded are Hillcrest and its officers/directors/related companies, government entities, and the presiding judge with family and staff. Self-prepared notes alone aren't sufficient for documented losses; expenses already reimbursed don't qualify.

• Alternative cash — $50 (SSN subclass)

  Group 1 members (Social Security number impacted) may take a one-time ~$50 cash payment with no proof, instead of other benefits. Group 2 members aren't eligible for this option.

• Documented losses — up to $2,500

  All members may claim reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses traceable to the breach (incurred June 27, 2024–Aug 26, 2026): identity-theft/fraud losses, credit-report/freeze fees, ID replacement, postage. Requires bank statements or receipts.

• 2 years credit monitoring

  All members can enroll in two years of CyEx Identity Defense Complete with $1M identity-theft insurance, dark-web scanning, and a fraud-resolution agent — no proof.
