Antigo Construction Data Breach Class Action Settlement, Claim $100 or Up to $3,000 (Deadline December 24, 2026)

Antigo Construction, Inc. and three related companies have agreed to settle a class action over a data breach that occurred June 1 to June 6, 2025. People whose personal information may have been accessed can claim up to $3,000 for documented losses and lost time, or take a flat $100 payment with no proof of loss. Everyone in the class also gets two years of free three-bureau credit monitoring without filing a claim.

The deadline to submit a claim is December 24, 2026. The settlement still needs final court approval, and no payments will be sent until that happens.

Official settlement website: https://www.antigodatabreachsettlement.com/ Official claim form: https://www.antigodatabreachsettlement.com/kubacki-v-antigo-claim-form-login/

Antigo denies the claims and any wrongdoing. The settlement is a compromise of disputed claims, not a court finding that Antigo did anything wrong.

What Happened in the Antigo Construction Data Breach?

Between June 1 and June 6, 2025, an unauthorized party accessed Antigo’s network and may have viewed files containing sensitive personal information. Antigo discovered the breach on June 6, 2025, and began sending notices to potentially affected people on October 31, 2025. According to the claim form, the files potentially involved the information of current, former and prospective employees.

The information that may have been involved includes full names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers and health insurance information. Not every person had every type of information involved, and the notice you received may identify what applies to you.

Antigo denies the allegations. The court has not decided who is right, and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or a finding that any class member suffered identity theft or financial harm.

What Laws Apply to Data Breach Lawsuits Like This One?

This case is in Wisconsin state court, so state law and court rules matter most, but several federal and state laws shape data breach disputes.

• Wisconsin’s data breach notification law (Wis. Stat. § 134.98). Wisconsin requires entities that learn personal information was acquired without authorization to notify affected people within a reasonable time, not to exceed 45 days after learning of the breach, subject to certain exceptions. The settlement does not decide whether any notice requirement was or was not met.
• Wisconsin class action rules (Wis. Stat. § 803.08). Wisconsin’s class action statute governs when a case may proceed for a group and requires court approval of a class settlement. That is why a fairness hearing is held before any money is paid.
• Common legal claims in data breach class actions. These cases typically allege negligence in protecting data, and sometimes breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment or invasion of privacy. The sources reviewed for this article do not list the specific counts in this complaint, and the defendants deny them.
• Federal law on identity theft protection. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as amended in 2018 (15 U.S.C. § 1681c-1), consumers can place and lift credit freezes for free and can place fraud alerts. The FTC’s IdentityTheft.gov site provides recovery plans for victims.
• Federal data security enforcement. The FTC has authority under Section 5 of the FTC Act (15 U.S.C. § 45) over unfair or deceptive data security practices. This settlement is a private class action, not an FTC action.

Who Qualifies for the Antigo Data Breach Settlement?

You are a settlement class member if your private information was potentially accessed in the Antigo data breach. If you received a notice by mail or email, you are most likely in the class. The notice shows a Notice ID (or Claimant ID for email notices) that you need to file a claim online.

The class does not include Antigo and its affiliates, officers and directors, the attorneys on the case, the judges assigned to it and their immediate families, anyone who validly opts out, or anyone found criminally responsible for the breach.

The class definition in the official notice controls. Reading a news story or learning about the breach online does not by itself make you a class member.

What Benefits Does the Antigo Construction Settlement Offer?

Option 1: $100 Alternative Cash Payment (No Documentation)

Instead of claiming documented losses, you can choose a flat $100 payment. You only have to confirm that you are a class member. You cannot take this option and also claim documented losses or lost time. If you claim documented losses without acceptable proof, the administrator may convert your claim to the $100 payment. You still must submit a valid claim by the deadline. The payment is not automatic.

Option 2: Documented Out-of-Pocket Losses and Lost Time (Up to $3,000)

You can be reimbursed for actual, documented, unreimbursed losses that are fairly traceable to the breach and were incurred from June 1, 2025 through the end of the claims period. You can also claim lost time at $25 per hour for up to 5 hours, a maximum of $125. Losses and lost time together are capped at $3,000 per person.

Eligible losses include:

• Credit report fees
• Credit freeze fees
• Card replacement fees
• Late fees and over-limit fees
• Interest and fees on payday loans
• Bank or credit card fees
• Postage, mileage and other incidental expenses
• The cost of credit monitoring or identity theft insurance bought before the settlement’s effective date

Each loss needs documentation, such as receipts or bank and card statements, and the claim form says self-prepared documents alone are not enough. Lost time requires a sworn statement with a short description of what you did to deal with the breach.

Important limit: the total pool for documented losses and lost time across all class members is capped at $200,000. If valid claims exceed that, payments in those categories will be reduced proportionally. That means the $3,000 figure is a maximum, not a promise.

Two Years of Free Credit Monitoring (No Claim Form Needed)

Every class member gets an activation code for two years of free three-bureau credit monitoring. The code is printed on your notice. You must activate it within 180 days of the date the notice was mailed. To enroll, go to app.idx.us/account-creation/protect or call 1-833-788-9712. This comes in addition to any cash payment, so you can claim the $100 and still use the monitoring.

Credit monitoring can alert you to certain changes in your credit files. It does not prevent identity theft or reverse fraudulent activity.

How to File a Claim in the Antigo Data Breach Settlement

1. Find your notice. Locate the mailed postcard or email notice and note your Notice ID or Claimant ID.
2. Pick your option. Decide between documented losses and lost time (up to $3,000) or the $100 payment.
3. Gather proof if needed. For documented losses, collect receipts, bank or card statements, late fee notices or other records showing each loss and how it ties to the breach.
4. Submit the claim form by December 24, 2026. File online at the official claim form page listed above, email the completed form to [email protected], or mail it, postmarked by the deadline, to: Antigo Data Breach Settlement, c/o Atticus Administration, P.O. Box 64053, St. Paul, MN 55164. A paper form is on the settlement website, or you can call 1-800-379-0170 to have one mailed.
5. Choose how to be paid. Options on the claim form are PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid Mastercard or a paper check. If you pick a digital method, you will get a verification message and must confirm it. If you do not, a check will be mailed to you instead.

If your claim is incomplete, the administrator should give you 30 days to fix it before rejecting it. Check the official website for the latest instructions before sending documents or personal information.

Your Options and Key Deadlines in the Antigo Construction Settlement

Your choice	What it means	Deadline
Submit a claim	The only way to get a cash payment	December 24, 2026
Do nothing	No cash payment, and you give up the right to sue over the settled claims. You still get the credit monitoring code	None
Opt out	No benefits, but you keep your right to sue Antigo on your own. Must be written, signed and sent individually. No mass opt-outs	November 9, 2026 (postmarked)
Object	Tell the court why you disagree. You must stay in the class and follow the notice’s written requirements	November 9, 2026 (postmarked)
Attend the hearing	Optional. You can ask to speak at the Final Fairness Hearing	December 14, 2026, 8:30 a.m.

Opt-out requests go to the settlement administrator at the Atticus Administration address above. Objections go by mail to both class counsel and Antigo’s counsel, at the addresses in the long form notice. Check the notice for exactly what an objection must include, since an incomplete one can be rejected. Objecting is different from opting out: an objection asks the court to consider your concerns while you generally remain in the class.

Companies Covered by the Settlement

The settlement covers claims involving Antigo Construction, Inc., Badger State Highway Equipment, Inc., Antigo International Inc. and Antigo MHB Breakers Ltd. The official notice contains the full definition of released parties and released claims, which determines what legal claims you give up if the settlement becomes final.

When Will Antigo Settlement Payments Be Sent?

There is no confirmed payment date. The court will hold a Final Fairness Hearing on December 14, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. at the Langlade County Circuit Court, 800 Clermont Street, Antigo, Wisconsin, or remotely if the court sets it that way. The court can reschedule without further notice, so check the settlement website for updates. You do not need to attend. The hearing is a step in the approval process, not a payment date.

If the settlement is approved and becomes final, valid claims will be paid within 45 days of the effective date or within 30 days after the claim is approved, whichever is later. Appeals could delay things, and the notice says it is not known how long that might take. Checks become void 90 days after they are issued. You can request a reissue until 180 days after the effective date, and after that your right to payment ends.

If the court does not approve the settlement, there will be no benefits and the lawsuit will continue.

Who Are the Lawyers in the Antigo Construction Class Action?

The settlement class is represented by Nickolas J. Hagman of Cafferty Clobes Meriwether & Sprengel LLP in Chicago. Antigo is represented by Evan M. Mannering of Baker & Hostetler LLP in Washington, D.C.

Class counsel will ask the court to approve attorneys’ fees and costs of up to $145,000 and a $2,500 service award for Melvin R. Kubacki. Antigo will pay those amounts, along with notice and administration costs, separately from the benefits available to class members.

How to Protect Yourself After the Antigo Data Breach

Because Social Security numbers and financial account numbers may have been exposed, consider these steps no matter what you decide about the settlement:

• Activate your free credit monitoring code before it expires.
• Consider a credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus. Freezes are free under federal law.
• Review bank and card statements for charges you do not recognize.
• Check your credit reports for accounts you did not open. You can get free reports through the official federal site, AnnualCreditReport.com.
• Consider an IRS Identity Protection PIN if your Social Security number may have been exposed, to help prevent someone from filing a tax return in your name.
• Keep records of anything you spend or any time you spend dealing with the breach, since those can support a claim.
• Watch for scams. Only use the official settlement website and phone number. The administrator will not ask you to pay anything to receive settlement benefits.

Settlement payments may have tax consequences. Ask a tax professional about your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Antigo Data Breach Settlement

Is the Antigo Construction data breach settlement real?

Yes. It has an official settlement website with the notice, claim form, FAQs and settlement agreement, and a court-scheduled approval hearing. It is a proposed settlement, so final court approval is still pending.

How much money can I get from the Antigo settlement?

Up to $3,000 combined for documented losses and lost time, or a flat $100. The documented loss pool is capped at $200,000 overall, so payments there could be reduced if claims exceed it.

Do I need proof to claim the $100 payment?

No. You only confirm that you are a settlement class member.

Can I claim both the $100 and documented losses?

No. You choose one cash option. The credit monitoring is separate and available either way.

Do I need to file a claim to get the credit monitoring?

No. Your activation code is on your notice. You just have to activate it within 180 days of the notice mailing date.

What is the Antigo settlement claim deadline?

December 24, 2026, online or postmarked by that date.

What is the deadline to opt out or object?

November 9, 2026, postmarked.

What if I lost my notice or Notice ID?

Contact the settlement administrator at 1-800-379-0170 or through the settlement website. Do not contact the court or Antigo’s lawyers, since the notice says not to.

What happens if I do nothing?

You get no cash payment, and if the settlement is approved you give up the right to sue Antigo and the other released parties over the claims it resolves. You still keep your credit monitoring code.

Which information was affected?

Names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers and health insurance information may have been involved. The exact information varies by person.

Should I opt out?

That is your decision, and it may be worth talking to a licensed attorney first. If you opt out, you get no benefits but keep the right to bring your own claim.

Bottom Line

If you got a notice about the Antigo Construction data breach, the easiest step is to claim the $100 payment or document your losses for up to $3,000, and to activate the credit monitoring code regardless. The claim deadline is December 24, 2026, and the opt-out and objection deadline is earlier, on November 9, 2026. Keep any proof of expenses, and check the settlement website for updates on the court hearing.
