Living U.S. residents whose private information was compromised in Covenant Health's May 2025 Data Incident can file, including everyone sent a breach notice. The court-approved class definition covers that group, according to the Covenant Health Data Settlement via Kroll in the preliminary approval order. A class action settlement resolves many similar claims in one court case.
This settlement resolves In re: Covenant Health Data Security Litigation, No. PENSC-CV-2025-63 in Maine Superior Court. That court granted preliminary approval Sept. 15, 2026. Final approval is still pending, so OpenClassActions reports no payment date is set.

Which Breach Makes You Eligible?
The qualifying event is the Data Incident that began May 18, 2025. An unauthorized party entered Covenant Health Inc.'s IT environment, and staff detected unusual activity May 26, 2025. Passive Action identifies the systems in its breach timeline summary as St. Joseph Healthcare Foundation and St. Joseph Hospitals.
Those facilities serve Bangor, Maine and Nashua, N.H. Security Affairs reports about 478,188 people were affected. Covenant Health mailed notice letters Dec. 31, 2025 after a long forensic review. That review raised the total from an initial July 2025 estimate.
Did You Get a Notice Letter?
You meet the test if you are a living U.S. resident with compromised private information in this incident. The mailed postcard notice is the clearest sign.
Use the Class Member ID from that postcard when you file, if you have it. Check these three points: Keep the postcard and envelope. They preserve your ID and prove notice.

- Private information compromised in the May 2025 incident
- Received a Covenant Health breach notice
What Money Can You Claim?
Eligible claimants can seek up to $5,000 for documented unreimbursed losses. Covered costs include bank fees, fraudulent charges and credit costs. ClaimBee puts the separate pro-rata cash payment at an estimated $75 in its payment breakdown, and you may claim both. The $5,000 tier needs proof such as receipts or statements.
It covers only incident-related costs you did not get back. ClaimBee notes all class members also get a code for two years of credit monitoring without filing a cash claim. Enrollment opens only after final approval and settlement effectiveness. The $75 amount can rise or fall with claim volume and deductions. Passive Action directs filers to administrator Kroll at the official settlement site.
How Do You File on Time?
To receive cash, file a signed claim online by 11:59 p.m. ET Dec. 30, 2026 or by mail postmarked Dec. 30, 2026. OpenClassActions lists that deadline and the ID rule in its filing instructions.
Enter your Class Member ID when you have it. Use the official settlement site run by administrator Kroll. Submit early and save proof of filing. Mail early so the Dec. 30 postmark is clear and keep a copy.
