SAG-AFTRA Health Plan Data Breach Settlement

Who qualifies

Living people who were mailed notice that their private information may have been impacted in the September 17–18, 2024 SAG-AFTRA Health Plan data incident.

Background

The SAG-AFTRA Health Plan provides medical coverage to actors, broadcasters, recording artists, and other members of the entertainment union. Like other benefit administrators, it holds a concentrated mix of identity and health data — the kind of records that make health plans a recurring ransomware and phishing target.

What you need to file

• The Short Notice form you were mailed, which includes your medical-protection activation code.
• For loss reimbursement: receipts, statements, or dated records of expenses tied to the incident.
• Your contact information and a payment choice.

What you can get

Up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses, plus a pro-rata cash payment (California residents notified at a California address receive a double share). All class members also automatically receive 18 months of CyEx Medical Shield medical identity protection.

Proof of purchase or loss: No proof is required for the pro-rata cash payment; documentation is only needed to claim the up-to-$5,000 out-of-pocket loss reimbursement. The 18 months of medical identity protection is automatic for all class members.
