What Happened?

Fort Wayne Medical Education Program Data Breach Settlement resolves claims through a class action settlement without further litigation. Class members who received notice may be eligible to file.

$40 flat cash with zero documentation required, OR two years of CyEx credit/medical monitoring with $1M fraud insurance plus up to $5,500 in documented losses and lost time. Monitoring stacks with documented losses; the $40 option replaces everything else. No total fund was stated — FWMEP pays class benefits directly plus notice/admin costs, up to $475,000 attorneys' fees, and up to $2,500 per class representative (7 reps), all subject to court approval.

How to File Your Claim

  1. File online at fwmepdatasettlement.com using the LoginID/PIN from your mailed notice, or use the separate no-notice link on the same site if you never got one. A printable form can also be mailed. Choose ONE path: the $40 flat cash (no documentation, no explanation) OR the monitoring + documented-loss path (up to $500 ordinary losses, up to $5,000 extraordinary losses, up to $80 lost time — $5,500 max combined — plus 2 years of monitoring). The two paths do not combine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the $40 payment cost me the monitoring?
Yes — the $40 replaces every other benefit including monitoring; it's the only option that doesn't stack.
How do I know if I'm Group 1 or Group 2?
FWMEP already split the class by whether your SSN was involved — the administrator matches your claim automatically, no need to figure it out yourself.
Is there a cap on documented claims?
Yes — ordinary losses and lost time share one $500 cap, extraordinary losses have a separate $5,000 cap, so a documented claim tops out at $5,500 total, plus monitoring on top.
What if I want to opt out instead?
The claim, opt-out, and objection deadlines all land on the same date, October 27, 2026 — there's no separate, earlier opt-out window on this one.
