SouthStateBankDataSettlement.com is the official information site for a real SouthState Bank data breach settlement, but the cash claim deadline has passed.
What is SouthStateBankDataSettlement.com?
The website explains the proposed settlement in Gregory Maricle, et al. v. SouthState Bank, N.A., case number CACE-2024CA-002530.
The case is in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in Polk County, Florida.
Simpluris, a company that manages legal settlements, operates the website and answers questions from class members.
The site gives visitors the settlement terms, court documents, dates, contact details, and credit-monitoring instructions (official settlement website).
Independent reports also identify this domain as the settlement’s official website (ClassAction.org).
What happened to SouthState Bank customers?
An outside party gained access to SouthState Bank’s computer network on or around February 7, 2024.
The data involved may have included names, birth dates, home addresses, phone numbers, bank account numbers, and Social Security numbers.
SouthState Bank began sending notices to people who may have been affected on March 29, 2024.
Several customers then brought legal claims against the bank.
They said the bank failed to use proper security steps, which SouthState Bank denies.
The settlement ends these claims without a trial or a court ruling that the bank did anything wrong (official FAQ).
Who is part of the settlement?
A person is generally included if they live in the United States and received a notice saying the February 2024 incident may have affected their private information.
Being a SouthState Bank customer by itself is not enough.
The notice is the key sign that a person belongs to the settlement class.
Bank directors, officers, agents, government bodies, court staff, the judge’s close family, and people who opted out are excluded.
Anyone unsure about their status should call the administrator instead of sending private data to an unofficial claims website.
What benefits did the settlement offer?
SouthState Bank agreed to create a cash fund of up to $1.5 million.
Eligible people could request up to $3,500 for real losses tied to fraud or identity theft that happened after February 7, 2024.
Covered costs could include bank fees, fraud charges, credit-freeze costs, replacement identification, postage, phone costs, or professional help.
These claims needed outside proof, such as receipts, bills, phone records, bank statements, or card statements.
A personal written statement alone was not enough.
Class members could also request a smaller proportional payment from the money left after valid loss claims were paid.
The final value of that payment depends on the number of accepted claims and the money remaining in the fund (settlement benefits).
Can someone still file a cash claim?
No, because the deadline to submit a cash claim was June 15, 2026.
The website’s claim page now clearly says that the deadline has passed (official claim page).
The deadlines to object or leave the settlement also passed on May 15, 2026.
A final approval hearing was scheduled for June 22, 2026 (important dates).
People who filed on time should keep their confirmation, claim number, emails, receipts, and copies of all proof.
Cash cannot be sent until the required court process is complete and any appeal issues are resolved.
The website does not state a fixed payment date, so messages that promise an exact payout day should be treated with care.
Is free credit monitoring still available?
Yes, the site says eligible class members can now activate one year of Financial Shield Complete protection.
The benefit includes monitoring through one credit bureau and up to $1 million in identity-theft insurance.
The current enrollment deadline is October 22, 2026.
People need the unique code printed in their original settlement notice.
Anyone who lost that code can contact the administrator at 888-232-0977 or info@SouthStateBankDataSettlement.com (official contact page).
The live activation notice is more current than older text on parts of the site that still calls the deal “proposed.”
How can visitors avoid a settlement scam?
Visitors should type SouthStateBankDataSettlement.com directly into their browser or use a saved link from the original notice.
Submitting a settlement claim or activating a valid benefit should not require an advance fee.
People should never give a caller a password, online-banking login, debit-card PIN, or full one-time security code.
The administrator’s listed mailing address is P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, California 92799.
A person who already filed a claim should use the official phone number when changing an address or checking a notice.
The most useful action now is not filing a late cash claim, but activating the credit-monitoring benefit before October 22, 2026 and watching official messages for payment updates.
