T-Mobile customers may have to wait a little longer than expected to receive their share of the $350 million data breach settlement. Originally scheduled for distribution in April 2025, an "unexpected delay" has pushed the start date to May 2025. This news comes as a disappointment to the 76 million US residents affected by the cybersecurity incident, who have been eagerly awaiting their compensation.
Individuals impacted by the breach may receive varying amounts in their settlement checks, with some potentially qualifying for up to $25,000 if they incurred expenses related to fraud or identity theft due to the data breach. While the delay may be frustrating, the final payout could be worth the wait for those eligible for higher compensation.
Overall, the distribution of the settlement payments has hit a snag, but customers can still anticipate their checks to arrive in May 2025, offering some relief after the long wait.
