The payments of $ 25,000 were aimed at starting to go out in early April as part of the settlement breach of the T-Mobile.
The United States has informed the sun of the huge issue facing the service provider at that time.
Although no violations are recognized, T-Mobile agreed to pay the huge amount to settle the claims that failed to protect customer information.
The lawsuit focused on the loss of sensitive information such as names, addresses, birth dates, driving license information and social security numbers.
The leakage was involved in 76 million people in 2021.
T-Mobile admitted the attack in August 2021, declaring that it will provide affected customers for two years of MCAfee's ID protection service.
It will also provide them with account protection protection services and recommendations on best practices to alleviate personal security risks.
It is important to note that this lawsuit is separate from the other 2022 case facing T-Mobile, which was also covered by the American sun at that time.
Then after four years after the accident, the customers finally got the justice they were calling.
Those who can provide documented damage can earn payments of up to $ 25,000.
However, if you cannot provide a documented loss, the payments will be limited for an amount of $ 25.
Given that the $ 350 million settlement amount must be divided between 76 million people, most payments may be much smaller.
Depending on the number of applied, it may be closer to $ 4.50 per person before the legal fee is obtained.
California residents were particularly qualified for up to $ 100 in the settlement.
Those who were qualified had received a notification at the time.
All court procedures concluded the settlement, and Delivery date To apply for the claim is now closed.
Unexpected delays
Those who made a claim were waiting for their money, but unknown problems slowed it.
Usa Today reports that customers will have to wait longer for their money.
The final approval of the collective lawsuit was submitted in June 2023, and the date of payments was set in April 2025.
What is a collective settlement?
Collective lawsuit lawsuits submit groups of persons, or “classrooms”, which are a means of assembly together in court.
These cases are often brought by one or a few people who claim a company or another entity who have sinned in a large group of people.
When the lawsuit becomes a collective lawsuit, it extends to “separation members”, or people who may have complaints similar to those who filed the lawsuit.
Companies often settle collective procedures – submit payment to separation members who usually give up their right to follow more legal procedures by accepting funds.
These payment agreements often include data by the defendant who refuses to commit violations. Companies tend to settle collective procedures to avoid additional litigation costs.
Pollution, discrimination, or wrong ads are some examples of what can get a collective action on the company's threshold.
But the “unexpected delays” led her to return to May 2025.
There is no specific date yet when customers can expect their money.
It is also unknown to what is the delay or why it happened.
