•
A proposed class action Settlement has been reached with Disability Rights Wisconsin, Inc. (“Disability Rights” or “Defendant”) arising out of a cybersecurity incident perpetrated against Disability Rights on or around October 10, 2023 (the “Data Incident”).

Disability Rights Wisconsin, Inc., No. 24-CV-002072, in Dane County Circuit Court.

If you were notified by Disability Rights that your Private or Personal Information may have been impacted by the Data Incident, you are included in this Settlement as a member of the Settlement Class.
•
Under the Settlement, Disability Rights has agreed to pay for Valid Claims submitted by Settlement Class Members. You may be eligible to receive up to $85.00 in Attestation Losses and up to $2,000.00 in Documented Out-of-Pocket Extraordinary Expenses. Disability Rights will also cover the cost of credit monitoring services, notice and administration services, as well as any award for attorneys’ fees and expenses and the Court-approved Service Awards for Plaintiffs.
Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. You should read the entire Notice carefully.
