If your Private Information may have been compromised in the Data Incident involving AOD Federal Credit Union that occured from about August 8, 2024 to August 9, 2024, you may be entitled to benefits from a Settlement.
A Court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
- A $750,000 settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against AOD Federal Credit Union (“AOD” or “Defendant”) related to unauthorized access (“Data Incident”) to AOD’s network from about August 8, 2024 to August 9, 2024, resulting in the potential exposure of the Settlement Class Member’s Private Information. Private Information here means personally identifiable information, which consists of some combination of the following: first and last names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, bank/financial account numbers, routing numbers, credit and/or debit card numbers, driver’s license/government ID numbers, clinical or treatment information, health insurance member IDs and/or group numbers, and Taxpayer Identification Numbers. The Defendant denies any wrongdoing and the Court has not decided who is right.
- The Settlement Class includes all individuals whose Private Information may have been compromised in the Data Incident.
- If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you can submit a Claim Form for the following Settlement Class Member Benefits:
- Cash Payment A – Documented Losses: You may submit a Claim Form and provide reasonable documentation for losses resulting from fraud and/or identity theft fairly traceable to the Data Incident for up to $5,000 per Settlement Class Member; OR
- Cash Payment B – Alternate Cash: Instead of cash payment A, without providing documentation, you may submit a Claim Form to receive a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) cash payment in the estimated amount of $75; AND
- Credit Monitoring: In addition to Cash Payment A (Documented Losses) or Cash Payment B (Alternate Cash), you may also submit a Claim Form to receive two years of free Credit Monitoring from one bureau.
- Your Cash Payment will be subject to a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) increase or decrease depending upon the total value of all Valid Claims submitted.
- These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained further in the Long Form Notice.
- The Court must decide whether to approve the Settlement, attorneys' fees and costs, and Service Awards. No Settlement Class Member Benefits will be provided unless the Court approves the Settlement and that decision is not successfully appealed.
