Tomorrow is the last day to file a claim if you were impacted by the Equifax data breach
Title. Unable to link the news article that reminded me.
Equifax is offering a 6-month credit monitoring or $125.00 cash payment as part of the settlement. You can also file a claim if your identity was stolen as a result of the data breach.
If you are unsure if you were impacted by the breach, I encourage you to visit the site to check anyways to make sure.
Again, tomorrow (22 January 2020) is the last day to file a claim.
EDITS BELOW:
Edit number 2: Messed up the link
equifaxbreachsettlement.com
Is the website. Towards the bottom is the link to see if you have been impacted.
The sum of $125.00 is not the sum you will receive if you decide to take the cash payment. It will only be a fraction. Others have said the credit monitoring is for several years and not just 6 months. If you do take the cash option in the settlement, you must first prove you currently have credit monitoring set up.
