After the massive data leaks in 2019 and 2024, AT&T reached a legal agreement that could benefit you. The company will allocate $177 million to affected customers. If your personal information was compromised, you could receive up to $7,500 in compensation.
The claims process is already open and can be easily completed online. Here we explain everything you need to know so you don't miss this opportunity.
Who can file a claim?
If you are a current or former AT&T customer and your personal data was leaked, you can file a claim. The compromised information includes:
- Social Security numbers
- Dates of birth
- Call records
Even if you were only affected by one of the breaches, you can still receive a proportional payment. If your data was involved in both leaks, your compensation could be higher.
How to file your claim
The procedure is simple and quick. The most convenient way is to complete an online form on the official settlement website. You only need to fill in your information, indicate which breach affected you, and attach documentation supporting your claim.
Don't wait too long: the deadline to submit your application is November 18, 2025. Filing your claim on time is key to ensuring you receive compensation.
How much you could receive
The amount depends on the breach you were involved in and the evidence you provide:
- Up to $5,000 if you were affected by the 2019 leak and can prove losses.
- Up to $2,500 if your data was compromised in 2024 and you have proof of damages since April of that year.
- Up to $7,500 if you were a victim of both breaches.
To maximize your compensation, it's important to gather documents that prove expenses related to identity theft and any financial damage caused by these leaks.
Dates and recommendations
Payments will not be issued before December 2025, as the settlement still needs to be formally approved at a final hearing. Some appeals may delay the release of funds, so the sooner you file your claim, the better.
Acting quickly is essential. If your data was compromised in 2019 or 2024, don't miss this opportunity. Gather your documents, complete your claim online, and secure your right to compensation.
Even if you were only affected by one of the breaches, claiming your money can help you cover unexpected expenses and give you peace of mind against identity theft. Don't wait any longer: September is your time to act.
