What this settlement is about
After attackers accessed Xfinity customer records in late 2023, subscribers sued Comcast over the security lapse and the company agreed to a $117.5 million resolution. Anyone who got a breach notice in December 2023 can file for repayment of expenses and time they lost dealing with the fallout, and identity protection services are part of the package. Loss reimbursement claims need supporting documentation. The opt-out window closed on July 1, 2026, but claims remain open until September 14, 2026.
Who is eligible
People who were mailed or emailed a notice around December 18, 2023 telling them their personal information may have been exposed in the Comcast (Xfinity) data breach.
Estimated payout
Reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses and lost time, plus identity defense and restoration services; cash amounts vary by claim.
No payment amount is ever guaranteed. Pro rata payouts shrink as more valid claims come in, and every payment waits on final court approval and any appeals.
Proof requirements
Partial proof: the base payment does not require documents, but higher payment tiers (such as documented-loss reimbursement) do. You can usually file the simple tier with just the claim form, or attach records to claim more.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Comcast (Xfinity) data breach settlement real?
Yes. Comcast agreed to a $117.5 million settlement over the late-2023 Xfinity data breach, and the official administrator site is comcastbreachsettlement.com. If you received a mailed or emailed breach notice around December 18, 2023, you are likely in the class. Always file at the official administrator site, never through a third party.
How much will the Comcast settlement pay per person?
There is no flat per-person amount. The settlement reimburses documented out-of-pocket losses and lost time caused by the breach, and includes identity defense and restoration services. What you receive depends on what you claim and can document, so individual payments will vary.
What is the deadline to file a Comcast breach claim?
Claims are due September 14, 2026. The window to opt out of the settlement closed on July 1, 2026, and the final approval hearing took place August 5, 2026, but claim filing stays open through the September deadline.
Do I need proof to file a Comcast settlement claim?
Partially. Reimbursement for money you lost dealing with the breach requires supporting documentation such as receipts or statements. The identity protection services piece does not require loss documentation. Only claim losses you actually incurred: claim forms are signed under penalty of perjury.
