If you reside in the United States and received a Notice of Data Breach letter from Central Valley Meat Company Inc., on or about December 30, 2024, you may be a Class Member and eligible for Settlement Benefits. Additionally, if you are a citizen of the State of California and received such notice, you may also be a member of the California Settlement Subclass. Excluded from the Settlement Class and California Settlement Subclass are: (1) Central Valley and its officers, directors, and related companies; (2) anyone who validly excludes themselves from the Settlement; (3) attorneys for the parties; (4) the Judge in this case, and the Judge’s family and staff; and (5) anyone who perpetrated the Data Incident.
If you are a Settlement Class Member and wish to receive Settlement Benefits then you must submit a claim form by September 28, 2026.
All Settlement Class Members may enroll in Identity-Theft Protection and Credit Monitoring and one or more of the cash payment options. The benefits are explained in more detail below.
Identity-Theft Protection and Credit Monitoring. All Settlement Class Members are eligible to enroll in two (2) years of CyEx Identity Defense Complete. Enrollment codes have been sent to all Settlement Class Members by postcard and will be activated after the Settlement becomes effective. If you no longer have your enrollment code, please contact the Administrator. This comprehensive service comes with $1 million in identity theft insurance, and includes:
If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Lost Time Payment. Settlement Class Members who spent time dealing with problems from the Data Incident may claim up to two (2) hours, at $25.00 per hour, for a maximum of $50.00. This payment counts toward the $5,000.00 cap for Extraordinary Expenses Reimbursement. You must have spent the time on tasks related to the Data Incident. Some examples include things like:
Extraordinary Expense Reimbursement. If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket costs due to the Data Incident, you can get back up to $5,000.00 (combined with any Lost Time). The losses must have occurred between May 23, 2024, and September 28, 2026, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers eligible out-of-pocket expenses like:
losses because of identity theft or fraud
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
You need to submit proof, like bank statements or receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. You can also provide notes or papers you made yourself to explain or support other proof, but those notes or papers alone are not enough to make a valid claim. Your proof or notes should show that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
California Statutory Claim Payment. Settlement Class Members who were residents of California at the time of the Data Incident may claim a one-time cash payment of $75.00 in addition to all other available cash benefits. California Settlement Subclass Members will have to provide proof of California residency at the time of the Data Incident. A sworn attestation shall satisfy the proof requirement for California residency.
