Cash App Square Claims Form: Data Breach Settlement and Eligibility

If you're a Cash App user who's been affected by the Square data breach, you might be eligible for a settlement. The data breach occurred in 2019 and 2020, and it's estimated that over 4.9 million customers had their personal and financial information compromised.

To be eligible for the settlement, you must have had a Cash App account between September 15, 2017, and January 21, 2020. This is a crucial time frame to keep in mind, as it determines whether or not you're eligible for the settlement.

To be eligible for compensation, you must have had a Cash App account on August 23, 2018, and before August 20, 2024, and not have already been reimbursed by Block Inc., Cash App Investing, or a third party.

You can file a claim for one of three types of losses: Out-of-Pocket Losses, Lost Time, or Transaction Losses. Out-of-Pocket Losses can be reimbursed up to $2,500, Lost Time can be reimbursed for up to three hours at $25 per hour, and Transaction Losses can be reimbursed if you experienced a monetary loss that hasn't been reimbursed yet.

To file a claim, you'll need to provide documentation or evidence that supports your claim, such as correspondence with Cash App about unauthorized access, bank statements showing unauthorized charges, or proof of expenses incurred. Don't forget that the deadline for filing claims is November 18, 2024, so act promptly to secure your compensation.

To determine if you're eligible to file a claim, you'll want to check your account status. Cash App users must have had an account on August 23, 2018, and before August 20, 2024, to be able to file a claim.

You'll also want to make sure you haven't already been reimbursed by Block Inc., Cash App Investing, or a third party. This is a crucial step to avoid duplicating claims.

The type of incident you experienced will also play a role in determining your eligibility. Compensation is specifically for users who experienced unauthorized access or personal data exposure due to the breach.

If you're considering filing a claim, it's essential to understand what types of incidents are eligible for compensation. Users who experienced unauthorized access or personal data exposure may qualify.

Personal data exposure is another category that may be eligible. This includes situations where your personal information was exposed in the breach, such as full names, account numbers, portfolio values, or trading activity.
