If you received notice from Greater Rochester Independent Practice Association that your Personally Identifiable Information and/or Protected Healthcare Information was potentially compromised in the MOVEit Data Breach, you could get a payment from a class action settlement.
A Settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit against Greater Rochester Independent Practice Association (“Defendant” or “GRIPA”). The Settlement resolves claims against GRIPA brought by individuals impacted by the MOVEit Data Breach which occurred in May 2023 as it relates to Personally Identifiable Information and/or Protected Healthcare Information, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health & treatment information, health insurance information, pharmacy prescription information, and prescriber information, entrusted to GRIPA. The MOVEit Data Breach resulted from an alleged vulnerability in the third-party file transfer software, MOVEit Transfer, that GRIPA used in its ordinary course of business. Claims against Progress Software Corporation (“Progress”) the licensor of the MOVEit software, have not been resolved and the litigation will continue against Progress.
You are included in the Settlement as a “Settlement Class Member” because you have been identified as a person whose Personally Identifiable Information and/or Protected Healthcare Information may have been accessed or exposed during the MOVEit Data Breach. The following are not included in the Settlement Class are: (i) GRIPA, any entity in which GRIPA has a controlling interest, and GRIPA’s officers, directors, legal representatives, successors, subsidiaries, and assigns; (ii) any judge, justice, or judicial officer presiding over the Litigation and the members of their immediate families and judicial staff; and (iii) any individual who timely and validly opts out of the Settlement.
Under the Settlement, GRIPA will pay $2,150,000 into a Settlement Fund which will be used to pay all valid claims made by Settlement Class Members, notice and administration costs, service award, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Settlement Class Members may file a claim to receive either:
(1) reimbursement of ordinary losses up to $2,500 and reimbursement of extraordinary losses up to $10,000;
or
(2) an alternative cash payment of $100 (subject to pro rata reduction or increase based on total claim submission).
All Settlement Class Members may also file a claim to receive two (2) years of identity theft protection services.
You must complete and submit a Claim Form by September 3, 2026. Claim Forms may be submitted online here using the Claimant ID and PIN on the notice you received. You may also download a paper claim form here and mail it to the address on the form so that it is postmarked by September 3, 2026.
As of December 24, 2025, the USPS has made changes to their postmark dating system. With the current changes, Settlement Class Members who now mail their Claim Form close to the claim deadline may have a postmark that reflects when the claim reaches a USPS automated processing operation rather than when it was received by the USPS. Depending upon the proximity of the Settlement Class Member to the automated processing facility, the postmark may be a few days after initial receipt by the USPS, possibly resulting in a late claim submission. To ensure your Claim Form is treated as timely, if submitting by mail, allow extra time for processing by the USPS. For the avoidance of doubt, you may also submit your claim online here , using the Claimant ID and Password provided on your notice.
