If your personal data was compromised in a recent data breach involving Tyler Technologies, you may be eligible for part of a class action settlement worth up to $3,500. The settlement is tied to a 2024 data breach that exposed sensitive consumer information, including Social Security numbers, phone numbers, and taxpayer IDs.
With only a few days left until the May 29 claim deadline, affected users need to act fast to submit their claims and secure compensation.
What Is This Class Action Settlement About?
In early 2024, Tyler Technologies, Inc., a software company providing services to public sector clients and financial institutions, experienced a major data breach. The breach impacted the company’s STAR application, a platform used by various government agencies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and banks.
A lawsuit was filed, alleging that Tyler Technologies failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect user data. In response, the company agreed to a class action settlement—without admitting wrongdoing.
Who Qualifies for the Settlement?
You may be eligible for compensation if:
- You are a Tyler Technologies customer or end user
- You were notified that your personal information was exposed in the data breach
- Your claimant ID was included in the official class action notice
If you received this notice by mail or email, you are likely eligible.
What Compensation Can You Receive?
Class members may qualify for two key benefits:
1. Free Identity Protection Services
- Three years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection
- Available to all affected class members—even those who already have credit monitoring services elsewhere
2. Up to $3,500 in Reimbursement
You can claim out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach between March 23, 2024, and May 29, 2025, including:
- Fraudulent bank or credit card charges
- Identity theft expenses (e.g., legal fees, notary costs)
- Lost wages or time spent resolving fraud
- Professional services (e.g., data recovery, credit repair)
Proof of loss (receipts, statements, or other documents) must be submitted with your claim.
