Pierce County Library System Data Breach Settlement
Pierce County Library System Data Breach Settlement
Accepting Submissions
The Pierce County Library System disclosed a cyber incident in July 2025 that involved personal information belonging to about 3,275 people. The class covers current and former employees, current and former contractors, and family members who received notice. The proposed settlement pays a flat $70 with no proof required, or up to $250 for ordinary out of pocket losses and up to $4,000 for extraordinary losses such as identity theft. You can also claim $20 per hour for up to four hours of lost time.
Everyone in the class can sign up for three years of credit monitoring, identity restoration services, and $1 million in identity theft insurance. Cash benefits share a $385,000 cap, so payments shrink proportionally if claims run past that. Claims are due September 28, 2026, opt outs and objections are due August 28, 2026, and the final approval hearing is set for October 9, 2026.
