AT&T is moving forward with a proposed AT&T Settlement worth $177 million to resolve lawsuits stemming from two massive data breaches in 2024. Millions of current and former customers could be eligible for payments of up to $7,500 if they file a valid claim before the deadline.

The settlement details, made public this month, follow multiple lawsuits filed after hackers exposed sensitive AT&T customer data, including Social Security numbers and call records.

🔗 More information and claim forms are available on the official Telecom Data Settlement website.

Two Data Breaches Impacting Millions

The first breach, announced in March 2024, compromised the personal information of 73 million AT&T account holders. Data such as birth dates and Social Security numbers surfaced on the dark web.

The second breach, disclosed in July 2024, involved call and text records for “nearly all” AT&T cellular customers.

According to CBS News, the lawsuits over both incidents were consolidated into two nationwide class-action cases. A federal judge recently approved the proposed terms for public notification, with a final approval hearing set for December 3, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Settlement Breakdown

The $177 million settlement is divided into two funds:

• $149 million for the first breach class
• $28 million for the second breach class

Eligible claimants can receive:

• Up to $5,000 for the March 2024 breach (losses from 2019 onward)
• Up to $2,500 for the July 2024 breach (losses on or after April 14, 2024)
• Up to $7,500 if impacted by both breaches

Payments require documentation proving losses are “fairly traceable” to the AT&T breaches.

How to File a Claim

Notices are being sent to eligible customers via email from [email protected]. The settlement administrator, Kroll Settlement Administration, also operates a dedicated hotline at (833) 890-4930.

Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by November 18, 2025. Filing a claim waives the right to sue AT&T separately.

Full instructions can be found on the official settlement site.

When Will AT&T Settlement Payments Arrive?

Even if the court approves the settlement in December, payments may be delayed due to appeals or processing time.

“It also takes time for all of the claim forms to be processed. Please be patient,” the settlement site advises.
