Kroll’s liquidation administration, the company that manages the agreement, opened the claim process in August for affected customers so that they can be paid from one or both funds. Here is how and when to present.
How much can I get from the agreement?
If you submit a claim, you could receive up to $ 5,000 from the first fund (called AT&T 1) and $ 2,500 settlement class (AT&T 2 liquidation class), so double rape victims can obtain up to $ 7,500.

Your exact payment will depend on how many people request, but the highest payments will be reserved for those who can test any pocket damage. You must send documentation that is “quite traceable“When you file a claim to be eligible for that higher payment. If you cannot prove specific losses, you will still share what remains after the claimants of documented loss are paid.
How do I know if I qualify?
The agreement covers any current or previous AT&T customer whose data was accessed in one of the infractions. If it is eligible, you will receive an email or physical mail of the Kroll Liquidation Administration.
