Kelly & Associates Insurance Group Data Breach Settlement

Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, also known as Kelly Benefits, is a company that provides services such as group health insurance administration, brokerage, consulting, and payroll solutions. The company agreed to a $5 million class action settlement after failing to prevent a data breach that occurred between December 12 and December 17, 2024, compromising sensitive consumer data.

The lawsuit alleges that Kelly & Associates did not implement sufficient cybersecurity measures to safeguard consumer information, suggesting the company could have prevented the breach with reasonable security practices. The claims involve damages resulting from this data compromise.

Class members can potentially receive up to $5,000 to cover documented losses, including costs for credit monitoring, unreimbursed fraud, and bank fees, in addition to a pro rata cash payment estimated around $50. All members are eligible for three years of free credit monitoring, and California residents may qualify for an extra statutory payment of up to $100. To receive benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by December 28, 2026.
