If you got a notice about the 2020 EyeMed data breach, you could receive up to $10,150 in cash compensation. A $5 million settlement has been reached to resolve claims that EyeMed failed to protect sensitive consumer data — and now eligible individuals can claim payments for their time, stress, and financial losses.
Why the Lawsuit Exists
In June 2020, an unauthorized third party gained access to personal data held by EyeMed Vision Care. This data included:
Names, contact info, dates of birth
Health insurance and government ID numbers
Medicare/Medicaid IDs, driver’s license numbers, and more
The lawsuit says EyeMed didn’t use proper security to protect this data. EyeMed denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle for $5 million.
Who Qualifies
You’re eligible if:
You received a notification letter from EyeMed about the June 2020 data breach.
That’s it. No need to prove the breach — just that you received their notice.
How Much Can You Get?
Eligible individuals can claim:
Up to $10,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses (e.g. fraud, professional fees, credit protection)
Up to $100 for lost time (at $25/hour for up to 4 hours)
An estimated $50 residual cash payment (this may go up or down based on claims volume)
✔️ You can claim one, two, or all three types of compensation.
Documentation Required for Some Claims
To get reimbursed for out-of-pocket losses, you’ll need to submit proof like bank statements, receipts, credit reports, invoices, or other documentation showing unreimbursed expenses.
No documentation is required for the estimated $50 cash payment or lost time compensation, but you’ll need to explain what you spent time on.
