AT&T Data Breach Settlement: Millions of current and former AT&T customers have just days left to claim their share of a $177 million settlement following two significant data breaches in 2024. This settlement provides eligible individuals the opportunity to recover up to $7,500, but quick action is essential as the official deadline to file is November 18, 2025.
Who is Eligible for the AT&T Settlement?
The settlement applies to over seven million customers affected by two major AT&T data breaches in 2024, plus more than 65 million account holders whose information may have been exposed between 2019 and 2024. The breaches resulted in the online exposure of sensitive data, including Social Security numbers, billing details, addresses, account passcodes, and, in some cases, call and text records.
Eligibility depends on which breach impacted you and the data type exposed:
- March 2024 Breach: Impacted customers with leaked Social Security numbers or other personal information.
- July 2024 Breach: Involved the unauthorized access of call and text record data.
If unsure about eligibility, visit the official claims site or call the settlement administrator with your AT&T account details for quick verification.
How Much Can You Receive?
Compensation varies depending on the breach and the information compromised:
- Documented Loss Claims: Customers can file for reimbursement of financial losses related to the breaches, up to the maximum allowed.
- Tiered Cash Payments:
- Tier 1: For those whose Social Security numbers were exposed. Payouts are five times larger than Tier 2.
- Tier 2: For individuals whose other personal information was compromised.
- Tier 3: Related to the July data breach, with payouts distributed after legal and administrative costs.
Customers affected by both breaches can combine claims to reach the $7,500 maximum limit.
How to Submit Your Claim
Filing is straightforward but must be completed before the November 18, 2025 deadline. Here’s what to do:
- Visit the official AT&T settlement claims website, or fill out a physical claim form.
- Submit your claim online or mail it to:
AT&T Data Incident Settlement
c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC
P.O. Box 5324, New York, NY 10150-5324 - Have your AT&T account number and relevant documents ready—proof of loss may be required for higher payouts.
- Ensure your claim is submitted or postmarked by the deadline.
Submitting your claim early can help avoid delays and gives you time to gather supporting documentation if needed. Missing the deadline will result in forfeiting your compensation, as extensions will not be granted.

This settlement is one of the largest in response to recent data breaches, offering financial relief for millions. With the final deadline looming, eligible customers are urged to act quickly to avoid missing out. Waiting too long means forfeiting the opportunity for compensation—even if your data was exposed.
Take time to verify your eligibility, gather the required paperwork, and submit your claim before November 18, 2025, to ensure you receive any compensation owed to you.
