If you are residing in the United States and your Personal Information was compromised in the January 2024 cybersecurity incident involving Schuster's computer systems (“Data Incident”), including all individuals who received notice of the Data Incident, you may be a Class Member and eligible for Settlement Benefits. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (a) all persons who are directors and officers of Schuster Company; (b) all Settlement Class Members who timely and validly opt out; (c) the presiding judge, staff, and family; and (d) any person found by a Court of competent jurisdiction to have criminally caused, aided, or abetted the Data Incident, or who pleads nolo contendere.
If you are a Settlement Class Member and wish to receive Settlement Benefits then you must submit a claim form by September 14, 2026.

If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Cash Payment A - Out-of-Pocket Losses. If you incurred actual, documented, unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses related to fraud and/or identity Theft due to the Data Incident, you can get back up to $2,500.00. The losses must have occurred between January 23, 2024, and September 14, 2026, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
losses because of identity theft or fraud
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
You need to submit proof, like receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. Your personal certifications, declarations, or affidavits do not constitute reasonable documentation to make a valid claim, but you may include that to provide clarification, context, or support for other submitted reasonable documentation showing that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
Important: If you submit a timely Claim Form for Out-of-Pocket Losses but do not provide sufficient documentation, your claim will not be rejected outright. Instead, it will be automatically treated as a claim for the $50.00 Alternative Cash Payment (as described below), provided it was otherwise timely submitted.
Lost Time Compensation. In addition to claiming Out-of-Pocket Losses, you may also claim compensation for time you reasonably spent addressing issues arising from the Data Incident. You may claim $20.00 per hour up to four (4) hours (maximum of $80.00). The combined total of Out-of-Pocket Losses and Lost Time Compensation is subject to a $2,500.00 combined maximum. You must provide a detailed description of the time spent and activities performed, and attest under penalty of perjury that the information is true and accurate. Third-party documentation is not required for this component, but the Settlement Administrator may request additional information to verify the claim.
Cash Payment B - Alternative Cash Payment. Instead of a payment for Cash Payment A, you may claim a one-time $50.00 cash payment. You do not have to provide any proof or any documentation to claim this payment, however, the Settlement Administrator reserves the right to verify your identity and class membership to prevent fraud.
