According to the article in The US Sun, people affected by a data breach at Mercy Health can get up to $390 from a $1.8 million settlement.

The basic payment is up to $90, with an extra $300 for costs related to the breach if you have proof.
To get the money, you need to fill out a claim form by June 10, 2024. You can do this on a special website. To get the extra $300, you need to show receipts, bills, or statements that prove you had extra costs because of the data breach.
