There is not much time left. If your personal data was affected by the Neiman Marcus data breach in 2024, you could claim up to $2,500 — but you have to act fast. This payout is part of a $3.5 million class action settlement, and all it takes is a simple form to submit your claim.
This could be your chance to recover money you lost to things like bank fees or fraudulent charges. And even if you did not lose cash, you may still qualify for free credit monitoring.
Who is eligible for the data breach settlement?
You may qualify if your personal information was compromised during the May 2024 Neiman Marcus data breach. The company has not admitted any wrongdoing, but they have agreed to settle the case and provide compensation.
To be eligible:
- You must have been a customer of Neiman Marcus at the time of the breach
- Your personal information must have been part of the data exposed
- You must submit a valid claim by the deadline
How much money can you get from the settlement?
Here is the breakdown of what you could receive:
- Up to $2,500 for documented losses — this includes:
- Bank fees
- Fraudulent charges
- Credit monitoring expenses
- Phone or communication charges
- Other out-of-pocket costs caused by the breach
- Bank fees
- Two years of free credit monitoring — valued at about $216 total
Even if you did not suffer direct losses, you can still claim the free credit monitoring, which adds a layer of protection for the future.
How do you file a claim for the Neiman Marcus settlement?
Filing a claim is simple. Just complete and submit the online claim form before the deadline.
Here is what you will need:
- Your full name and contact information
- Proof that you were impacted by the breach (this may include an email from Neiman Marcus, or your purchase history)
- Receipts or statements if you are claiming out-of-pocket expenses
- Details of the damages you experienced
You can find the claim form on the official settlement website. If you need help, there are also instructions on the site to guide you step-by-step.
What is the deadline to file a claim?
Do not wait too long — there are key deadlines you need to know:
- Claim form deadline: October 8, 2025
- Deadline to exclude or object: September 23, 2025
- Final approval hearing: October 23, 2025
If you miss the October 8 deadline, you lose your right to claim any money or benefits from the settlement.
What is a class action settlement?
A class action is when a group of people sues a company over the same issue. Instead of filing individual lawsuits, they join forces. If the case is settled, the company agrees to pay money to everyone affected — that is called a class action settlement.
In this case, Neiman Marcus agreed to the $3.5 million payout without admitting fault. By accepting the settlement money, you give up the right to sue the company separately in the future over the same issue.
These kinds of settlements are common when it comes to:
- Data breaches
- Fraud or false advertising
- Unfair fees or charges
- Product recalls
Why you should not ignore this opportunity
Many people miss out on class action money simply because they do not file the form. If you were affected by the 2024 Neiman Marcus data breach, this is your chance to get something back — whether that is money for the hassle or protection going forward.
It does not take long, and you might be surprised by what you qualify for. But the clock is ticking.
