FreebieAgent score
“Legitimate settlement with solid payout options and clear documentation requirements, open through November 2026. The $45 no-doc option and credit monitoring alternative make this accessible to most claimants, even if documented losses are harder to prove. Score reflects it's a real settlement with a real deadline and real money, not a gimmick.”

What FreebieAgent noticed
This settlement covers roughly 137,000 people whose personal information (names, addresses, SSNs, bank details, driver's licenses) was accessed in a cyberattack on Communications Data Group's systems, which affected customers of Home Wireless, Duo County Telephone Cooperative, and Cumberland Cellular. The $45 option requires no documentation and is the fastest route; the documented loss option (up to $5,000) requires proof of unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses caused by the breach, plus a sworn declaration. You also have the option to claim three years of CyEx credit monitoring (with up to $1 million identity theft insurance) instead of cash. The court still needs to grant final approval on November 16, 2026, though claims are open now; no payment date has been set yet. If you don't have your mailed notice with LoginID and PIN, contact the settlement administrator at (866) 601-3534.
