What FreebieAgent noticed
This is a legitimate class action settlement in Cook County, Illinois for a data breach that exposed names, Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, and financial account info. You're automatically included if Bauer's records show you were affected (they should have mailed you notice). The $45 is the easiest path: no receipts or documentation needed. If you had out-of-pocket costs like credit monitoring or time spent dealing with fraud, you can claim up to $500 for that plus $5,000 for actual fraud losses, but those require proof. The settlement still needs final court approval on January 27, 2027, so payouts won't happen until after that and any appeals are resolved. The opt-out and objection deadline is December 1, 2026, giving you time to decide if you want to stay in or leave.
