A multi-million dollar settlement involving Progressive offers affected consumers a chance to claim up to $5,000 for damages caused by a significant data breach. Progressive has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit for $3.25 million after accusations that it failed to protect clients’ personal information. Those affected by the breach have until February 18, 2025, to submit their claims.
The data breach occurred due to a security lapse from one of Progressive’s third-party call center vendors, which compromised sensitive information such as Social Security numbers and financial account details between May 2021 and May 2023. The class action lawsuit is specifically for individuals whose personal data may have been accessed by unauthorized parties during this time period.
To qualify for compensation, affected individuals must provide documentation of losses such as fraudulent charges, identity theft, or credit-related expenses. For those who did not experience any direct financial losses, a smaller cash payout will still be available, although the amount will depend on the total number of claims filed and the remaining funds in the settlement pool.
Having supporting evidence of financial damage increases the chances of securing the full $5,000 payout. However, there is no fixed estimate for individuals who file claims without documented losses.

Additionally, all class members are entitled to three years of credit monitoring services, including up to $1 million in coverage and access to all three credit bureaus.
Time is running out to claim your share of the settlement. Those who believe they are eligible must submit a valid claim form by February 18, 2025. The final approval hearing for the Progressive settlement is set for February 25, 2025.
Other Data Breach Settlements in the Works
Americans who have been affected by other data breaches also have a chance to claim compensation. Another ongoing class action lawsuit involves Nonstop Administration and Insurance Services, which is accused of mishandling sensitive customer data and leaving it vulnerable to a cyberattack.
In 2023, a lawsuit was filed against the company, alleging that it failed to protect personal information, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, medical records, health plan IDs, and prescription medications. The breach, which occurred in December 2022, was only disclosed to affected individuals in February 2023.
Nonstop Administration has agreed to pay $1.6 million to settle the lawsuit, with affected individuals eligible for payouts of up to $5,000 to cover financial losses caused by the breach. The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for March 18, 2025, and payments will be made after the approval.
Affected individuals who want to submit claims for either the Progressive or Nonstop Administration settlement should act quickly to meet the deadlines.
