After a data breach, Bridgeway Center has reached a settlement and will compensate its clients. If you were affected, here’s how to apply for your payment.
On February 21, 2024, a data breach affecting the mental health service provider Bridgeway Center exposed the personal information of its clients. A total of 65,386 people were affected by the incident, leading to a class action lawsuit against the company.
According to the company, the compromised information included “full names, addresses, Social Security numbers, financial information, (…) information related to patients’ care, treatment, diagnosis, appointments, health insurance and billing information, and any other health-related records.”
Following the corresponding legal process, a settlement has been reached, and Bridgeway Center, Inc. will compensate those affected. The period to submit claims for compensation is now open, so here’s how much you may be eligible to receive and how to apply.

Bridgeway Center Settlement: who is eligible and how much they may receive
According to the website Bridgeway Center has set up, you are part of the Settlement Class “if you are a living individual residing in the United States whose personal information was impacted in the Cyber Incident.” This includes clients who were notified by the company in May 2024.
Two compensation options are available. The first, which Bridgeway Center calls “Ordinary Loss,” provides up to $1,500 per person, available to those who can prove “that you spent money or incurred losses fairly traceable to the Cyber Incident.”
Those who experienced an “extraordinary loss” may be eligible for a payment of up to $5,000 per person if they can document “extraordinary losses incurred after the breach that are fairly traceable” to the incident. Per the settlement website, all payments may be adjusted on a pro rata basis.
Alternatively, Bridgeway Center offers “Cash Payment B,” a “flat cash payment” of $125.
