The Settlement Class includes all individuals residing in the United States to whom Defendant Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (“RIPTA”) sent notification that their personal information may have been compromised as a result of a ransomware attack discovered by RIPTA on August 5,2021 (“Data Incident”).
Under the Settlement Agreement, Defendants will establish a $350,000 Settlement Fund to reimburse Settlement Class Members for Valid Claims and pay for Class Notice, Claims Administration, and Service Awards. If there are more than $350,000 in Valid Claims, Defendants have agreed to pay up to $25,000 more into the Settlement Fund. In addition, Defendants have agreed to offer five (5) years of 1-bureau credit monitoring to Settlement Class Members.
Settlement Class Members are not limited to one benefit. If you are eligible for multiple benefits, as described below, you may file a claim for each of them.
If you are a Settlement Class Member and wish to receive one or more of the following Settlement Benefits, then you must file a claim no later than August 25, 2025.
Credit Monitoring: In addition to monetary settlement benefits (as described below), Settlement Class Members may make a Claim for free Credit Monitoring for 5 years of 1-bureau credit monitoring.
Attested Lost Time: Settlement Class Members with time spent remedying issues related to the Data Incident may receive reimbursement of $15.00 per hour up to four hours (for a total of $60.00) with an attestation including a brief description of the action(s) taken in response to the Data Incident.
Documented Ordinary Losses: Reimbursement for unreimbursed Ordinary Losses fairly traceable to the Data Incident, may be up to a total of $1,000.00 per person, and may include the following:
Out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of the Data Incident, including unreimbursed bank fees, long distance phone charges, cell phone charges (only if charged by the minute), data charges (only if charged based on the amount of data used), postage, or gasoline for local travel; and
Fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or other identity theft insurance product purchased between August 5, 2021, and April 25, 2025.
Documented Extraordinary Losses: Reimbursement for Extraordinary Losses resulting from the Data Incident, up to $7,500 per person if the extraordinary loss: (i) is an actual, documented and unreimbursed cost, expense, loss, or charge incurred as a result of identity theft or identity fraud, falsified tax returns or other possible misuse of the Settlement Class Member’s personal information; (ii) occurred between August 5, 2021 and April 25, 2025; (iii) is not already covered by one or more of the ordinary loss categories, and (iv) the Settlement Class Member made reasonable efforts to avoid, or seek reimbursement for, the loss, including but not limited to exhaustion of all available credit monitoring insurance and identity theft insurance.
Settlement Class Members must submit documentation supporting their Claims for Ordinary and Extraordinary Losses. This documentation may include receipts or other documentation not “self-prepared” by the claimant that documents the costs incurred. Settlement Class Members shall not be reimbursed for expenses if they have been reimbursed for the same expenses by another source, including compensation provided in connection with the credit monitoring and identity theft protection product offered as part of the notification letter provided by RIPTA.
If the total dollar value of Approved Claims exceeds the amount in remaining in the Settlement Fund necessary to cover Approved Claims, Service Awards, Class Notice, and Claims Administration costs, the payment amount for Approved Claims shall be reduced pro rata among all Settlement Class Members who submitted Approved Claims. Alternatively, if there is a portion of the Settlement Fund remaining after payments, this amount will be distributed pro rata among all Settlement Class Members who timely submitted Approved Claims. Any pro rata increases or decreases to Approved Claims will be on an equal percentage basis.
