If you received a notice that your personal information may have been affected by the Triage Staffing data breach, you could qualify for cash compensation and free credit monitoring through a class action settlement.
Depending on your circumstances, eligible class members may claim up to $3,000 for documented losses or choose a $50 alternative cash payment if they did not experience reimbursable losses. You can also enroll in two years of free credit monitoring. The deadline to file a claim is Aug. 10, 2026.
What happened?
The lawsuit stems from an unauthorized intrusion into Triage Staffing’s computer systems that occurred in May 2025.
According to the lawsuit, certain files containing personal information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers were potentially accessed without authorization.
The plaintiffs alleged that Triage Staffing failed to adequately protect this information, increasing the risk of identity theft and fraud.
