What the site is

TelecomDataSettlement.com is the official settlement‐site for the class-action lawsuits stemming from two data‐incidents involving AT&T Inc.. The incidents are called the “AT&T 1 Data Incident” (announced March 30, 2024) and the “AT&T 2 Data Incident” (announced July 12, 2024). (Telecom Data Settlement)

The AT&T 1 incident: data from a dataset released on the dark web, involving names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, account passcodes, billing account numbers, social security numbers (in some cases). (Telecom Data Settlement)
The AT&T 2 incident: limited data illegally downloaded from an AT&T cloud workspace (via third-party cloud provider) — telephone numbers of current/former AT&T customers, counts of interactions, durations, and for a small subset cell-site identification numbers. (Telecom Data Settlement)

The site provides:

Eligibility information (who is a “Settlement Class Member”)
Claim forms you can submit to request a cash payment or alternative compensation
Deadlines for claiming, opting out, objecting
Legal background: court docket numbers, who the parties are, what the settlement covers (Telecom Data Settlement)

Key details and deadlines

Some of the more important concrete terms:

Who qualifies

There are two “Settlement Classes”:

AT&T 1 Settlement Class: U.S. individuals whose Data Elements were included in the AT&T 1 incident (names, addresses, etc including SSN in some cases). (Telecom Data Settlement)
AT&T 2 Settlement Class: AT&T account owners or line/end-users whose data was included in the AT&T 2 incident (telephone numbers, interaction counts, etc). (Telecom Data Settlement)
Some people may be in both classes (Overlaps). (Telecom Data Settlement)

What compensation might look like

For AT&T 1: If you can show “Documented Loss” (with documentation tying the loss to the incident), you may claim up to $5,000. Alternately, if you don’t have a documented loss you might claim a “Tier” payment (pro rata share) depending on how many claims there are. Tier 1 is for those whose SSN was included; Tier 2 is for those whose SSN was not included. (Telecom Data Settlement)
For AT&T 2: Documented Loss payment up to $2,500 for losses occurring on or after April 14, 2024. Or an alternative “Tier 3” payment (pro rata share). (Telecom Data Settlement)

Important deadlines

Claim submission deadline: December 18, 2025. (Telecom Data Settlement)
Opt-Out deadline: November 17, 2025. If you opt out you retain your right to sue separately, but you give up the right to share in the settlement. (Telecom Data Settlement)
Final Approval Hearing: January 15, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. CT. The court will evaluate whether the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate. (Telecom Data Settlement)

What this means for you

If you believe you might be affected (you were or are an AT&T customer, or were on an AT&T line, and your personal information or telephone call‐/interaction data could have been included) then you should:

Visit the settlement site and check whether you are eligible (using your class member ID if you received notice).
If eligible, decide whether you want to submit a claim for compensation, opt out, object, or do nothing.
If you submit a claim: gather documentation (especially if you want to claim the higher “Documented Loss” option) that ties your losses to the incident.
Note: If you do nothing you will likely forfeit the right to compensation under this settlement and you may give up the right to sue AT&T (or related parties) for those claims. (Telecom Data Settlement)
If you opt out: you won’t share in this settlement, but you keep the right to pursue your own separate lawsuit.
Keep an eye on the timeline. Deadline is not far away (as per information).

Things to be cautious about

Just because you were an AT&T customer does not automatically guarantee eligibility; you need evidence your data was included in those incidents.
The actual payment amounts (especially for the Tier/alternative method) will depend on the number of valid claims, administrative costs, attorneys’ fees and the net settlement fund. So even if you’re eligible you may get less than the maximum. (Telecom Data Settlement)
Ensure you use the official website (which this is) to submit claims — beware of scams or impersonators. The site clearly notes “This website is authorized by the Court… This is the only authorized website for the case.” (Telecom Data Settlement)

Why this settlement matters

Data breaches and data‐incidents like these are serious because they involve sensitive personal information (names, SSNs, account numbers, call records).
The fact that two incidents are combined shows how legal action can consolidate claims and attempt to resolve many lawsuits in one settlement.
For individuals: this offers a route to compensation without having to bring your own individual lawsuit (but you surrender some rights if you participate).
For large companies: it’s a signal that data security and how companies respond to breaches have major legal and financial implications.

Key Takeaways

TelecomDataSettlement.com is the court-approved website for the AT&T data‐incident class action settlement.
If your data was included in either of the two AT&T incidents (March and July 2024), you may be eligible to file a claim.
Deadlines: Claim by December 18, 2025; opt‐out/objection by November 17, 2025.
The compensation varies: up to $5,000 for one incident (with documented losses), up to $2,500 for the other; or a pro rata share if you choose the non‐documented route.
Make sure you are eligible, submit accurately, and use the official site to avoid fraud.
Participating means giving up the right to sue separately for the same incidents; opting out keeps that right but forfeits your share of this settlement.

FAQ

Q: I received no notice; does that mean I’m not eligible?
A: Not necessarily. Notices are typically sent out via mail or email if the administrator has your address or contact. Even if you didn’t receive a notice you might still be eligible if your data was included. The site lets you check by providing your information.

Q: I’m outside the U.S.; can I file a claim?
A: The settlement class definitions cover “living persons in the United States” whose data was included. So non-U.S. residents generally aren’t eligible, based on what the site says. (Telecom Data Settlement)

Q: What happens if I don’t submit a claim by the deadline?
A: If you do nothing by December 18, 2025, you’ll likely lose the chance to receive any benefit from this settlement and you’ll give up (for this settlement) the right to bring further claims against AT&T for those incidents.

Q: If I claim, how long till I get paid?
A: The site indicates payment will only happen if the court approves the settlement, any appeals are resolved, and valid claims are processed. So it may take a while after the hearing on January 15, 2026. (Telecom Data Settlement)

Q: What should I submit as “documentation” for a documented loss?
A: You’ll need something that fairly ties your loss to the incident — for example, proof of unauthorized charges, identity theft costs, etc. The site doesn’t list every possible document, but you should gather bank statements, invoices, identity‐protection costs, etc.
