What happened
The lawsuit concerns a data incident in which an unknown vulnerability in Oracle's E-Business Suite software, used by Dartmouth, allowed unauthorized access to Private Information. The information involved may have included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and financial account details. News reports say the incident occurred in August 2025 and affected roughly 96,000 people connected to Dartmouth. The class covers living U.S. residents who were sent notice by Dartmouth that their information may have been impacted.
Dartmouth denies the legal claims and denies any wrongdoing or liability, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and delay of continued litigation. The case is part of the broader Oracle data breach litigation pending in federal court in Austin, Texas.

Where the money is going
Dartmouth will pay $750,000 into a Settlement Fund. Attorneys' fees and costs, service awards, and notice and administration costs are paid from the fund along with documented loss reimbursements and credit monitoring, and the remaining money is split pro rata among valid Cash Payment B claims.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the Final Approval Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. The $75 Cash Payment B figure is an estimate and may be increased or decreased on a pro rata basis depending on the number of valid claims.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
Cash Payment B is a pro rata cash payment estimated at $75, which may be higher or lower depending on the number of valid claims. Cash Payment A reimburses documented out-of-pocket losses related to the Data Incident up to $5,000. In addition to the cash payments, you can request two years of credit monitoring with dark web monitoring and $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
Not for Cash Payment B or credit monitoring. Cash Payment A requires reasonable documentation of your out-of-pocket losses, such as receipts, telephone records, or correspondence including emails. Personal certifications, declarations, or affidavits alone are not sufficient.
