Who Is Kimco Staffing and Why Are They Being Sued for a Data Breach?

Kimco Staffing Services, Inc. is based in Irvine, California, and its own notice letter speaks to employees. A staffing firm collects Social Security numbers for payroll and onboarding, sometimes for people who only worked there briefly, which is why many class members barely remember the company. If that’s you, you’re not alone.

What Happened at Kimco Staffing Between June 24, 2023 and December 19, 2023?

It started with suspicious activity. Kimco says it became aware of it on or about June 24, 2023, and it didn’t finish reviewing the potentially accessed data until November 28, 2023, according to its filing with the Maine Attorney General. Written notice went out on or about December 19, 2023, almost six months after the first alert.

Kimco’s letter said the information involved included names and Social Security numbers, and it offered 12 months of credit monitoring through Kroll. Twelve months was the first offer. The settlement doubles that to two years and adds $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance.

Kimco denies any wrongdoing and any liability, but it agreed to settle on a class-wide basis. The $50 CCPA payment for California residents points to claims under the California Consumer Privacy Act. The other claims aren’t spelled out.

The settlement site says 69,687 people were impacted. Did you ever work for Kimco? If so, dig out any notice you received, because the claim form needs your Class Member ID.

Who Qualifies for the Kimco Staffing Data Breach Settlement?

If you’re asking “do I qualify for the Kimco settlement,” here’s exactly how to know.

Who is included:

• U.S. residents Kimco identified among the 69,687 people impacted by the data incident
• Anyone who was sent notice of the data incident
• California residents as of June 24, 2023, who also qualify for the $50 CCPA payment

Who is not included:

• Kimco itself, plus any entity it controls and its parents and subsidiaries
• Kimco’s affiliates, legal representatives, attorneys, heirs, predecessors, successors and assigns
• The judges and court personnel on the case, and their immediate families
• Anyone who timely and validly opts out

You have 44 days from today to opt out or object and 73 days to file. You’ll need a Class Member ID. If you can’t find yours, call (833) 876-1553 or use the Contact Us form on the settlement site.

Kimco Staffing Data Breach Victims Outside California — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. The case is in a California court, but the class covers individuals who reside in the United States. Only the $50 CCPA payment is limited to people who lived in California on June 24, 2023.

Not sure if you qualify for the Kimco Staffing data breach settlement? A free legal consultation with a data privacy attorney can help before the December 15, 2026 deadline.

How Much Can Kimco Staffing Data Breach Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $5,000 Per Person

How much will I get from the Kimco settlement? Data breach compensation here comes in four benefits, and you can claim any or all of them.

Kimco Payout With Proof — Up to $5,000

Keep every receipt. You can claim up to $5,000.00 for out-of-pocket expenses and losses, including proven actual monetary losses, with a valid claim form. The settlement site’s summary doesn’t spell out the covered expenses, the loss dates or the exact proof required, so read the Long Notice before you file.

That’s a bigger cap. The Pediatric Home Service data breach settlement we covered capped documented losses at $1,500 per person, for comparison.

Kimco $50 CCPA Payment — California Residents

California residents get more. If you resided in California on June 24, 2023, you can claim a $50.00 CCPA payment, short for California Consumer Privacy Act, in its own section of the claim form.

What Pro-Rata Means for Your Kimco Check

Pro rata is last in line. The $640,000.00 fund pays attorneys’ fees and expenses, any service awards, claims administration, the cost of credit monitoring, out-of-pocket claims and CCPA payments first, and only what’s left is split equally among everyone with an approved claim.

Here’s the math, and it’s mine. $640,000.00 divided by 69,687 impacted people is about $9.18 each if everyone filed and nothing came out first, and every 1,000 approved CCPA claims also takes $50,000.00 out of the same fund. If fewer people file, your share grows, and if more do, it shrinks.

Scale matters here. The Akeela Inc. data breach settlement we covered paid its pro rata cash payment from a $50,000 fund, a far smaller pool than this one.

When Kimco Payments Arrive

Payments come only after the court approves the settlement and any appeals are resolved. Don’t count on 2026. The final approval hearing is February 18, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. PT, so no payment can come before that date.

Taxes matter here. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099, so check with a tax professional before you file your return.

What the $400,000 Business Practice Enhancements Mean

That headline looks bigger than it is. $400,000.00 of the $1,040,000.00 is Business Practice Enhancements, which means 38.5% of the total never reaches class members, and the cash fund pays the lawyers, the administrator and the credit monitoring before it pays you.

How to File Your Kimco Staffing Data Breach Settlement Claim — Step by Step

1. Have your Class Member ID ready. The online form won’t start without it.
2. Go to kimcodatasettlement.com and click Submit Claim.
3. Enter your claimant information.
4. Claim out-of-pocket losses of up to $5,000.00 if you have them, and the $50.00 CCPA payment if you lived in California on June 24, 2023.
5. Choose the pro rata cash payment, add your payment information, then sign the attestation.
6. Prefer mail? Postmark a paper claim form by December 15, 2026 to: Kimco Data Incident Litigation, c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, P.O. Box 225391, New York, NY 10150-5391.

The deadline is December 15, 2026, whether you file online or postmark a paper claim form. If you’ve got a Class Member ID, you’ve got what you need to start. Just file.

Should Kimco Staffing Class Members Opt Out or Object Before November 16, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Kimco Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means no benefits. You keep your right to sue the released parties yourself, and most people shouldn’t opt out without legal advice. The deadline is November 16, 2026, and the safest route is a written request mailed and postmarked by then, using the Exclusion Form on the settlement site’s Documents page.

One catch on format. The summary table says you can email or mail it, but the Important Dates box says mail, so mail it. The exact address is in the Long Notice and the Exclusion Form.

How to Object to the Kimco Settlement

Objecting keeps you in the class. You tell the court why you agree or disagree with the settlement, the attorneys’ fees and expenses award or the service awards, but the court can’t order a different settlement. Your objection or notice of intent to appear must be postmarked or submitted by November 16, 2026, and the Objection Form on the Documents page walks you through the format.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before November 16, 2026 if you’re considering either option. If you’ve already lost money to identity theft, ask whether an identity theft lawsuit of your own makes sense.

One more catch. The home page lists the claim deadline as December 15 in its Important Dates box, its summary table and its postmark language, but one bullet says to mail claims by December 16. Treat December 15 as the deadline and don’t test the extra day.

What Should Kimco Staffing Class Members Do Before December 15, 2026?

You have 44 days before the opt-out and objection deadline and 73 days before the claim deadline, so file early. Most people should simply file a claim.

Kimco Staffing Data Breach — Frequently Asked Questions, JCCP No. 5321

Do I need a lawyer to file a Kimco Staffing data breach settlement claim? 

No. File online at kimcodatasettlement.com with your Class Member ID, or mail a paper claim form to Kroll Settlement Administration LLC in New York. Questions go to the administrator at (833) 876-1553.

Is the Kimco Staffing data breach settlement legitimate?

 The website says a court authorized it, and it’s the only authorized settlement website for this case. The case is in Orange County Superior Court, and the court still has to decide whether to approve at a hearing on February 18, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. PT.

When will Kimco Staffing settlement payments be sent? 

Only after the court approves the settlement and any appeals are resolved. The final approval hearing is February 18, 2027, so no payment can arrive before then. No payment date has been published.

What if I missed the Kimco Staffing claim deadline? 

Submitting a valid claim by December 15, 2026 is the only way to receive benefits. If you do nothing, you get nothing and give up any right to sue the released parties over the same claims. Check the website for any date changes.

Will my Kimco Staffing settlement payment go on a 1099?

 The settlement pages don’t address taxes. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099, and documented-loss claims can reach $5,000.00. Ask a tax professional about your own situation before you file your return.

How much will I get from the Kimco Staffing data breach settlement? 

Up to $5,000.00 for documented losses, $50.00 if you resided in California on June 24, 2023, and a pro rata share of whatever remains in the $640,000.00 fund. Everyone with a valid claim also gets two years of credit monitoring. No per-person estimate is published.

Can I claim more than one Kimco Staffing benefit? 

Yes. The site says class members may claim any or all of the benefits, and anyone with a valid claim for any benefit receives the two years of credit monitoring and $1,000,000 identity theft insurance.

Am I part of the Kimco Staffing lawsuit if I only worked there briefly?

 Likely yes, if Kimco identified you among the 69,687 impacted individuals or sent you notice. Length of employment isn’t part of the class definition on the settlement site. Not sure? Call the administrator at (833) 876-1553.
