Roseland Community Hospital Data Breach Settlement

Only notified patients can claim. Roseland Community Hospital Association agreed to pay $650,000 to settle claims over a data incident on or about June 2, 2024 at its safety-net hospital on Chicago's South Side. The class is not every Roseland patient — it covers only the people Roseland sent an individual notification telling them their information may have been affected, so if a letter never arrived you are almost certainly outside the class and there is no self-certification route in the class definition. For everyone who is inside it, the three benefits stack on a single claim form rather than being an either-or pick: up to $5,000 for documented, unreimbursed losses, a flat share of the fund currently estimated at $50 that needs no receipts, and one year of CyEx Medical Shield Complete medical records monitoring carrying up to $1 million of identity theft insurance. Claiming one does not reduce the others. Be clear on what the $5,000 is and is not: it is the ceiling on the documented losses benefit alone, not a cap on the settlement, and the $50 is an estimate from a fixed fund rather than a promise — it rises if few people claim and falls if many do. Filing online asks for the Class Member ID printed on your notice.

Do I Qualify?

You may be eligible if:

• Roseland Community Hospital sent you an individual notification saying your information may have been affected by the June 2, 2024 data incident — that notice letter is the practical test of class membership
• Having been a Roseland patient without receiving that notification is not enough; the class definition offers no route for someone who was never notified, so most people who simply used the hospital will not qualify
• Your name, address, date of birth, medical information or insurance information was potentially compromised — and for a limited number of people, a driver's license number or Social Security number
• Eligible states: nationwide on paper, since the class definition contains no state or residency limit — but Roseland is a single safety-net hospital on Chicago's South Side, so the notified class is concentrated in the Illinois area
• You are not a Roseland director, officer or agent, not a governmental entity, not the assigned judge or court staff, and have not been found criminally responsible for the incident
• You did not opt out of the settlement by December 1, 2026
• You file a claim by December 31, 2026 — class members who do nothing are still bound by the release but receive no money and no monitoring

Two different things are being asked of you, and only one of them is documentation. To file online you need the Class Member ID printed on the notice Roseland mailed you — the claim form opens with a login screen that asks for it, so keep the notice handy. If you cannot find it, call Kroll at (833) 453-3740 or use the Contact Us form on the settlement website to ask for a replacement. The flat pro rata cash and the medical records monitoring ask for no receipts and no explanation of harm — the notice states that supporting documentation is not required for the flat cash benefit (labelled Cash Payment B on the form), so the claim form itself is enough for those two benefits. Only the up-to-$5,000 documented losses benefit (Cash Payment A) requires evidence: reasonable third-party documentation such as receipts, invoices, credit card statements or phone bills demonstrating the costs you incurred, plus an attestation under penalty of perjury that you incurred them. Self-prepared documents, including handwritten receipts, are not sufficient by themselves, though they can add clarity to other documentation you submit. You cannot be reimbursed for an expense that another source already covered. If your documentation is missing or your claim is rejected and you fail to cure it after the administrator asks, the claim is converted into a flat pro rata cash claim rather than denied, so you still receive the flat payment.

What Happened?

On or about June 2, 2024, Roseland Community Hospital Association experienced a data incident. Internal and external investigations determined that patients' personally identifiable information and protected health information was potentially impacted, including names, addresses, dates of birth, medical information and insurance information, and for a limited number of individuals driver's license numbers or Social Security numbers.

Roseland implemented notice about the incident on its website on August 1, 2024 and later mailed written notification letters to the individuals whose information may have been impacted. That mailed letter is what defines the settlement class, which is why people who never received one are outside it.

Steven Hall (individually and on behalf of his minor children S.H., S.D.H. and L.H.), Diamond Davis and Chantel Carmickle sued as class representatives in Hall, et al. v. Roseland Community Hospital Association, No. 2024CH10367, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, alleging negligence.

Roseland denies all of the claims, allegations and liability and maintains that it did not do anything wrong. The court has not decided in favor of either side; it preliminarily approved the $650,000 non-reversionary settlement so the parties could avoid the cost and risk of a trial.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for January 6, 2027 at 9:30 a.m. Central Time at the Daley Center in Chicago, and may also be held remotely. Benefits are paid only after final approval and the resolution of any appeals: cash payments and monitoring activation codes go out no later than 45 days after the effective date, and no payment date had been announced as of September 29, 2026.

How to File Your Claim

1. File online at www.RoselandSettlement.com, the court-authorized settlement website run by Kroll Settlement Administration LLC — the site states it is the only authorized website for this case, so ignore lookalikes
2. Have your settlement notice in hand: the online claim form opens with a login screen asking for the Class Member ID printed on that notice
3. On the form, elect every benefit you want — the documented losses reimbursement, the flat pro rata cash and the medical records monitoring are separate elections that can all be made on the same form, and taking one does not forfeit another
4. For the documented losses benefit, attach reasonable third-party documentation (receipts, invoices, credit card statements, phone bills) and attest under penalty of perjury that you incurred the losses
5. handwritten or self-prepared receipts are not enough on their own
6. A paper claim form can be downloaded from the settlement website and mailed to Hall, et al. v. Roseland Community Hospital Association, c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, P.O. Box 225391, New York, NY 10150-5391
7. Online claims are due by 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2026 and mailed claims must be postmarked by December 31, 2026
8. the notice states no time zone for the online cutoff, so do not leave it to the last evening
9. Lost your Class Member ID, or think you should have been notified? Call the administrator at (833) 453-3740 or use the Contact Us form on the settlement website before the deadline
10. Filing is free and takes a few minutes — no lawyer and no claim-filing service is needed

How Much Will I Actually Get?

THE THREE BENEFITS ARE CUMULATIVE, NOT AN EITHER-OR CHOICE — this is the single most misread thing about this settlement, and the scanner-style headline '$50 or up to $5,000' gets it wrong. The court-approved notice lists the benefits joined by 'AND', and the monitoring paragraph opens 'In addition to the Cash Payment options above', so one claim form can carry all three: reimbursement of up to $5,000 per class member for documented, unreimbursed losses fairly traceable to the incident; a flat pro rata share of whatever is left in the fund, currently estimated at $50 and needing no receipts; and one year of CyEx Medical Shield Complete medical records monitoring including up to $1,000,000 of identity theft insurance, available even if you already took a monitoring product after the breach. Electing one does not reduce eligibility for the others. THE $5,000 CEILING IS NOT A SETTLEMENT CAP. It limits only the documented losses benefit, per class member; the estimated $50 sits on top of it, so the theoretical per-person maximum is roughly $5,050 in cash plus the monitoring. THE $50 IS AN ESTIMATE, NOT A GUARANTEE. Everything is paid from one $650,000 non-reversionary fund, which first covers settlement administration costs, whatever the court awards class counsel (they plan to request up to one-third of the fund, $216,666.67, plus up to $20,000 in expenses) and service awards of $2,500 to each class representative. The net fund then pays the monitoring first, then the documented losses claims, and only the balance is divided equally among the flat-cash claimants — which is exactly why the $50 moves: it rises if fewer people claim and falls if more do. Cash figures may be adjusted pro rata by an equal percentage in either direction so the fund is exhausted, and any remainder after all payments, costs and awards goes to a court-approved non-profit rather than back to Roseland. One protective detail worth knowing: if a documented losses claim is rejected and you do not cure it after the administrator asks, it is converted into a flat pro rata cash claim rather than denied outright, so you still receive the flat payment.
