money App users have less than 24 hours to file a claim to get some money from a $15 million settlement.

If their money App account was a part of a December 2021 data and safety breach, users of the mobile remittance service have until Monday, Nov. 18, by 11 p.m. PT (or Tuesday before 2 a.m. ET) to file a claim.

In a class-action lawsuit obtained by USA TODAY, the plaintiffs sued money App Investing and Block Inc. for the companies’ “setback to exercise reasonable worry in securing and safeguarding buyer information.” 

The lawsuit came after the December 2021 data breach that resulted “in the unauthorized community release of the personally identifiable information of 8.2 million current and former money App Investing customers.”

In addition, a former employee gained access to money App users’ personal information during their employment and downloaded the data without the users’ knowledge, the lawsuit said.  

In the settlement, the mobile remittance service was ordered to pay out $15 million in damages.  

If users had unauthorized, fraudulent withdrawals or transfers of funds from their money App account between Aug. 23, 2018, and before Aug. 20, 2024, they are eligible to submit a claim for up to $2,500, the money App website said.  

Here is what you require to recognize about the money App settlement.  

Do I qualify to file a claim? 

If any users had unauthorized, fraudulent withdrawals or transfers of funds from their money App account between Aug. 23, 2018, and before Aug. 20, 2024, they are eligible to submit a claim for up to $2,500, the money App website said.    

Users who qualify must not have already been reimbursed by Block Inc., money App Investing, or a third event, the mobile remittance service said.  

What types of claims can money App users file?  

According to money App, a user can submit a claim for the following:  

• Out-of-pocket losses: Users can submit a claim that shows their money App account was involved in the data breach. If a user is eligible for reimbursement after submitting the required documentation to the corporation, they could receive up to $2,500.  
• Lost period: money App users who submit a claim may be eligible for reimbursement for lost period. Users can submit a claim for up to three hours at a rate of $25 an hour for period spent regarding the unauthorized users and data breach.  
• swap losses: If a user experienced a monetary deficit and has not been reimbursed, they will be able to submit a claim.  

When is the money App safety settlement deadline?

On Nov. 7, the United States District Court Northern District of California granted a few deadline changes regarding this settlement, according to the court records. However, the deadline to file a claim will remain on Monday Nov. 18.  

What if I have more than one money App account?

Users should submit only one claim form. But if you have multiple money App accounts for which you desire to submit a claim, the mobile remittance service recommends that users list all of their Cashtags ($cashtag) and information about their claims on a single claim form, money App said.  

A Cashtag is an identifier that is used so that money App users can send money to each other. This is located in the profile section of your account that is underneath the user name.

How can I submit a claim?  

To file a claim, money App users can submit a completed claim form by Nov. 18 at https://cashappsecuritysettlement.com/submit-claim.
