AT&T’s $177 million settlement is expected to be officially approved at a hearing on Dec. 3, 2025.
In 2019, an AT&T data breach exposed the personal information of nearly 72 million people, and in 2024, another 109 million AT&T customers saw their data leaked to the dark web. A gigantic class-action lawsuit against the telecom corporation is finally nearing its end, with a proposed $177 million settlement set to start getting paid early next year.
You’ll need to retrieve your Class Member ID from the notification you received, or else call the administrators to get an ID.
If you believe you should be included in either part of the AT&T settlement and did not receive a notification, or if you’re not sure if you’re included, you can call the settlement administrator at 833-890-4930, or write to it at AT&T Data Incident Settlement; c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC; P.O. Box 5324; New York, NY 10150-5324.
Once you have a Claim Member ID from Kroll, you can complete the filing forms, including any documented information about losses you experienced because of either breach or both.
Traffic to the website for the AT&T settlement has been metered. I recently checked the claim submission form and received a Cloudflare warning: “We are experiencing a high volume of traffic and using a virtual queue to limit the amount of users on the website at the same time.” I had to wait 2 minutes to get in.
If you don’t want to submit a claim online, you can also print and mail the settlement forms (all PDFs): claim for the 2019 breach; claim for the 2024 Snowflake breach; claim for people affected by both breaches. Mailed forms should be sent to the Kroll address above and postmarked by the same Nov. 18, 2025, deadline.
How much could victims receive if they were included in one or both of the specific AT&T data breaches? Many payouts will be ultimately based on the number of people who file claims, but we have some estimates from the terms of the settlement.
People affected by the 2019 data breach who can prove a “documented loss” can receive up to $5,000. If someone cannot prove that loss, they’ll receive one of two tiered cash payments, based on whether their Social Security number was included in the breach.
For the Snowflake breach of 2024, AT&T customers who were affected and can prove that same demonstrated loss with documentation can receive up to $2,500. Those who were affected but have no proof of loss will receive a “pro rata” share of the remaining money, meaning it will be divided evenly among them.
Those affected by the 2019 and 2024 data breaches can file claims for both classes. While it’s not entirely clear yet if someone with two demonstrated losses could receive the full amount of $7,500, there’s nothing in the language of the settlement site that says they couldn’t.
