Individuals who were notified by Service Employees International Union, Local 32BJ that their confidential personal information was or may have been compromised in a Data Security Incident that occurred between October 21, 2021 and November 1, 2021 may be eligible for a payment from a class action settlement.
A New Jersey state Court ordered this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
A settlement has been reached with Service Employees International Union, Local 32BJ (“SEIU 32BJ”) in a class action lawsuit about the data security incident (“the Data Security Incident”) that occurred between October 21, 2021, and November 1, 2021. SEIU 32BJ first announced the Data Security Incident on or about February 11, 2022, and began mailing notice letters to those whose information was identified as compromised. The lawsuit was filed asserting claims against SEIU 32BJ relating to the Data Security Incident. SEIU 32BJ denies all of the claims.
Plaintiff alleges that between October 21, 2021, and November 1, 2021, SEIU 32BJ was the target of a Data Security Incident in which an unauthorized user gained access to certain of SEIU 32BJ’s computer systems, which resulted in the unauthorized access of personal information. Plaintiff alleges that, as a result of the Data Security Incident, an unauthorized user gained access to Personal Identifying Information (“PII”) of Plaintiff and other class members. The PII included names, addresses and social security numbers. SEIU 32BJ expressly denies that Class Plaintiff’s PII was compromised and viewed by any third-party, that SEIU 32BJ failed to adequately safeguard any PII, or that Class Plaintiff or anyone else was injured by any act or omission committed by SEIU 32BJ.
The Settlement Class includes all residents of the United States whose information may have been affected by the Data Security Incident. You should have received a letter from the Claims Administrator if you are a member of the Settlement Class.

The settlement provides cash reimbursement of up to $25 per hour (for a maximum of 4 hours) as compensation for lost time dealing with the Data Security Incident, up to $1,500 per Person for documented " ordinary or extraordinary losses" incurred in responding to the Data Security Incident.
You must file a claim form to receive a payment. You can file a claim online, download a claim form and mail it, or you may call 1-833-630-9977 and ask that a claim form be mailed to you. The Claims Deadline is June 20, 2023. You must use the unique Class Member ID received with your notification to verify your identity as a member of the Settlement Class.
