Progressive Data Breach Settlement: $3.25M

Consumers whose personal information was exposed in a security event involving Progressive’s call center vendor from May 2021 to May 2023.

To claim reimbursement, class members must provide documentation of expenses related to the breach, such as:

• Bank and credit card statements
• Receipts for fraud-related costs
• Invoices for credit monitoring or identity theft services
• Travel expenses incurred due to identity recovery efforts

A class action lawsuit accused Progressive of failing to safeguard sensitive customer data, leading to a security breach at a third-party call center vendor. This breach allegedly allowed unauthorized individuals to access personal and financial information, including:

• Social Security numbers
• Bank account details
• Other sensitive financial data

Plaintiffs claim that Progressive failed to implement proper security measures to prevent the breach and did not adequately vet or monitor its third-party vendor’s cybersecurity practices. As a result, affected consumers may have been exposed to fraud, identity theft, and financial losses.

While Progressive denies any wrongdoing, the company has agreed to a $3.25 million settlement to resolve the claims and avoid prolonged litigation.

Eligible consumers can file a claim to receive:

• Up to $5,000 in reimbursement for fraud-related expenses
  Cash payments for class members without documented losses (amount depends on total claims filed)
  Three years of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection, including alerts and $1 million in insurance coverage

If you were notified that your information was compromised, you may qualify for settlement benefits. Check your eligibility and submit a claim before the deadline.
