If you are claiming for Lost Time, Out-of-Pocket Losses and/or Extraordinary Losses, you need to submit proof, like receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. You can also provide notes or papers you made yourself to explain or support other proof, but those notes or papers alone are not enough to make a valid claim. Your proof or notes should show that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
Alternative Cash Payment. Instead of any other cash payment, Class Members may claim a one-time $35.00 payment.
