Where the money is going
Kelly Benefits agreed to pay $5,000,000 into a settlement fund. The fund pays credit monitoring first, then documented losses, then California Statutory Payments, and finally pro rata cash payments, after notice and administration costs, attorneys' fees and expenses, and service awards are deducted. If valid claims exceed the net fund, credit monitoring and cash payments are reduced pro rata.
All amounts above are maximums or estimates and subject to Court approval at the January 12, 2027 Final Fairness Hearing. The $50 cash payment and $100 California payment are estimates and may be reduced pro rata depending on the number of valid claims.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
You can claim up to $5,000 for documented losses reasonably related to the breach, or an estimated $50 pro rata cash payment. California residents as of December 12, 2024 can also claim an estimated $100 California Statutory Payment. All class members can claim three years of credit monitoring. Final amounts depend on the number of valid claims.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
The pro rata cash payment and California Statutory Payment do not require documentation. Documented losses require supporting documents and an attestation under penalty of perjury; a personal certification alone is not enough.

If you believe your information was compromised in the breach but did not receive a notice, get more information from the settlement website directly at KellyBenefitsSettlement.com or call the Settlement Administrator at (833) 453-3640.
Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?
Yes. Unless you exclude yourself by November 27, 2026, you will be bound by the Settlement and give up the right to sue Kelly Benefits and the Released Parties over the claims resolved in this case, whether or not you file a claim. The full release is in the Settlement Agreement, available at KellyBenefitsSettlement.com.
When will payments be sent out?
The Court will hold the Final Fairness Hearing on January 12, 2027. Payments are made only after the Court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved. Check KellyBenefitsSettlement.com for updates.
