Case No. 1:23-cv-12436-ADB (D. Mass.)
If you received notice from Union Bank and Trust Company that your personally identifiable information
was potentially compromised in the 2023 MOVEit Security Incident, you could get a payment from a class action settlement.
A Settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit against Union Bank and Trust Company (“Defendant” or “UBT”). The Settlement resolves claims brought by individuals impacted by the Security Incident which occurred between May 27 and May 31, 2023 and resulted in the potential compromise of individuals’ Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) entrusted to UBT. Defendant denies any allegation of wrongdoing.
You are included in the Settlement as a “Settlement Class Member” if you have been identified as a person whose Personally Identifiable Information may have been accessed or exposed during the Security Incident. The following are not included in the Settlement Class: (i) UBT, any entity in which UBT has a controlling interest, and UBT’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, UBT will pay $2,389,976.00 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 July 21, 2026. Claim Forms may be submitted online here using the Claimant ID and Password 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 July 21, 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.
If you are a Settlement Class Member, you have the following options:
| ACTION | EXPLANATION | DEADLINE |
| SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM | The only way to receive a payment. | Online or Postmarked by July 21, 2026. |
| EXCLUDE YOURSELF BY OPTING OUT | Get no payment. Keep your right to file your own lawsuit against UBT for the same claims resolved by this Settlement. Please note that if you opt out, you cannot also object to the Settlement. | Postmarked by June 22, 2026. |
| OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT AND/OR ATTEND A HEARING | Tell the Court the reasons why you do not believe the Settlement should be approved. You can also ask to speak to the Court at the hearing on August 6, 2026 about the fairness of the Settlement, with or without your own attorney. | Postmarked by June 22, 2026. |
| DO NOTHING | Get no payment and be bound by the terms of the Settlement. |
These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the Long Form Notice.
The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing in this case (Scott, et. al. v. Union Bank and Trust Co. et. al., Case No. 1:23-cv-12436-ADB (D. Mass.) on August 6, 2026. At the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement; Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and costs, and a service award to the Settlement Class Representative (up to $2,500). You or your lawyer may appear at the hearing at your own expense.
