Gateway Rehabilitation Center Data Breach Settlement

If you are a resident of the United States whose personal information was involved in the Data Security Incident at Gateway Rehabilitation Center, you may be eligible to claim up to $2,500 from a class action settlement.

Gateway Rehabilitation Center has agreed to pay $775,000 to settle a class action lawsuit for alleged negligence in data security, resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of personal information.

Who can file a claim?

To be part of the settlement:

• You are a resident of the United States.
• Your personal information was involved in the Data Security Incident.
• You may have received a notice regarding the Data Security Incident in November 2022.

How much are the payouts?

• Documented Loss Payment: Eligible for reimbursement up to $2,500 with supporting documentation. If total claims exceed $80,000, payments will be proportionally reduced.
• Cash Fund Payment: A pro rata cash payment based on the number of claims filed.
• Credit Monitoring: 12 months of free identity-theft protection with up to $1 million in insurance.

The Documented Loss Payment is subject to a cap of $80,000 for all claims. If claims exceed this amount, each claimant's payment will be reduced proportionally.

For example, if the total documented claims amount to $160,000, each claimant would receive 50% of their documented loss, as the total claims are double the cap.
