UPDATE near bottom of Page 7.
There isn't nearly enough money, as several astute members have pointed out. Summary here: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2019/07/equifax-data-breach-pick-free-credit-monitoring?utm_source=govdelivery 
Original post follows. I got an email from the Federal Trade Commission this morning. It says the settlement in the class-action suit for their major data breach has been finalized. Here's the link to the page that directs you to instructions for determining whether you are eligible, and how to file a claim. (I'm getting $125 cash.) Link fixed I hope. https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/refunds/equifax-data-breach-settlement |

The form is simple and explains everything. You have three options: 1. Free credit monitoring, 2. $125, or 3. If you can document actual damages and/or time spent, up to $20,000. ETA my mom, my wife, my brother, and I are all eligible according to the lookup tool. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I read it as:
1) you get free credit monitoring 2) if you already have credit monitoring, you can request $125 3) if you can show damages, you can get more money. |

Quite BS that they cap a date on it.
What if my info is still out there and just has not been used yet. So I am ok now but 3 years from now I'm dealing with the crap because of them. Total BS |

When will I get my benefits?
The settlement administrator will not send out any benefits until they are allowed to do so by the court, which will be January 23, 2020, at the earliest. We will update this page, and send email updates, when we have more information. Looks like they are having server issues for some strange reason. I guess people like free money and stuff.
This website is under heavy load (queue full)
We're sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We're working on this problem. Please try again later.

Part and parcel of joining in a class action settlement is that you forfeit your standing to sue separately from the settlement. If something actual comes up later...you've already settled with, and been compensated for your damages by, the Respondent. That said, with my credit monitoring, I feel confident that any nefarious use of my data would be immediately brought to light...so I signed on for my $125.00 check.
