UCLA Health System Settlement

Welcome to the Information Website for the UCLA Health System Settlement.

If You Are a Current or Former Patient at UCLA Health, a Settlement with The Regents of the University of California Has Been Reached that May Affect Your Rights

A class action settlement has been reached in Adlouni v. UCLA Health System Auxiliary, et al. The case concerns a cyberattack on the UCLA Health computer network, which was disclosed on July 17, 2015 (the “Incident”). If you received notice of this settlement by an email or postcard, according to The Regents’ records you are a Settlement Class Member.

SETTLEMENT STATUS UPDATE: The Settlement is now final based on the expiration of Court deadlines without further activity. The Claims Administrator has completed the initial review of all received Preventive Measure Claims. Those eligible individuals who submitted a Preventive Measure Claim Form, and either did not provide a clear amount of the costs incurred or did not provide sufficient documentation to support their Preventive Measure expenses, will receive a notice of their incomplete Preventive Measure Claim Form in the form of a letter, mailing October 9, 2020. Additionally, some individuals may receive notice that some or all of their submitted Claim does not fall within the definition of a Preventive Measure. To the extent, the Claim is for an Unreimbursed Loss, it will automatically be processed as such. Unreimbursed Loss Claims will not be processed until after the deadline on June 28, 2021.

After the Claims Administrator has completed review of all received letter responses and additional documentation, a further update will be made regarding the Preventive Measure Claim process.
