AT&T Customer? Claim Up to $7,500 from $177M Data Breach Settlement - Don't Miss the New Deadline

If you're a current or former AT&T customer, you may be eligible for a payout as part of a massive class-action settlement over two major data breaches. The breaches, which exposed sensitive personal information including Social Security numbers, call and text records, names, addresses, dates of birth, and more, have resulted in a $177 million settlement fund.

A Settlement Fund for Two Breaches

AT&T created two separate settlement funds to address the breaches: a $149 million pool for customers whose personal details were leaked in the first breach (announced March 2024), and a $28 million pool for those whose call and text logs were exposed in the Snowflake hack (July 2024). The Kroll Settlement Administration, managing the settlement, has opened the claim process in August for affected customers to be paid out from one or both funds.

How Much Can I Get from the Settlement?

If you file a claim, you could receive up to $5,000 from the first fund (called AT&T 1 Settlement Class) and $2,500 from the second (AT&T 2 Settlement Class). Dual-breach victims might get as much as $7,500. However, your exact payout will depend on how many people apply, with higher payments reserved for those who can prove any out-of-pocket damages.

To be eligible for a higher payout, you'll need to submit documentation that's "fairly traceable" when filing a claim. If you can't prove specific losses, you'll still share in what's left after documented-loss claimants are paid.

How Do I Know if I Qualify?

The settlement covers any current or former AT&T customer whose data was accessed in one of the breaches. You'll receive a notice by email or physical mail from Kroll Settlement Administration, which started rolling out on August 4, 2025, and are expected to continue throughout autumn.

Claims Process

Deadline to File a Claim

Thanks to a new deadline extension, settlement claims now need to be submitted by December 18, 2025. Also, if you disagree with the settlement and want to opt out so you can sue AT&T yourself, you'll need to do so by November 17, 2025.

Payout Timeline

The final approval hearing for the proposed settlement is scheduled for January 15, 2026. If the proposed settlement is approved in January, payouts will likely begin sometime in 2026, although appeals could delay the process.
