Let me walk you through this. Back in June 2024, Rite Aid suffered a cyberattack that exposed sensitive information—called personally identifiable information or PII—belonging to more than 2 million people. If you ever shopped at Rite Aid or signed up for anything using your personal details, your data might have been part of that breach.
Rite Aid notified affected customers in July and offered 12 months of free credit monitoring. But many customers felt that was not enough. So several lawsuits were filed, and these were eventually merged into one class-action lawsuit—Bianucci v. Rite Aid Corporation.
In March 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania gave preliminary approval for a $6.8 million settlement. A final decision will be made on July 17, 2025.
Who qualifies for the Rite Aid settlement payout?
Here is the good news—you may qualify for a payment if you were affected by the June 2024 data breach. Specifically, this includes:
- U.S. customers whose personal data was exposed or possibly exposed in the breach
- People who received a data breach notification from Rite Aid
- Even if you did not get a notice but believe your info was compromised, you can still check your eligibility
To verify if you are part of the class, you can contact the Settlement Administrator directly at 833-421-7672.
How much money can you get from the Rite Aid settlement?
You can get up to $10,000, but the amount depends on what proof you have. Here is how the payment breaks down:
- Up to $10,000 if you can show documented losses related to the data breach. You will need things like:
- Bank statements showing fraud or unauthorized charges
- Receipts for credit monitoring you paid for after June 6, 2024
- Invoices for identity theft services or legal help
- Bank statements showing fraud or unauthorized charges
- Flat cash payment if you do not have documentation. This amount will be split based on how many valid claims are filed and how much money is left after paying those with documented losses
Payments will be issued within 30 days after the final hearing on July 17, 2025—unless there are appeals or delays.

How to protect your personal information moving forward
You may be asking yourself, “How can I make sure this does not happen again?” The truth is, no one is 100% safe from identity theft—but there are steps you can take to protect yourself:
- Credit monitoring services – Keep an eye on your credit for unusual activity
- Identity theft protection – These services scan the dark web and alert you to suspicious activity. Some even include insurance for related legal costs
- Use strong, unique passwords – A password manager can help keep track of them
- Check your bank statements often – Report suspicious charges right away
Identity theft is serious, and services like these are your first line of defense.
