IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CPT Group, Inc., announces a proposed Settlement in a class action lawsuit called Meyer, et al. v. Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health Authority, Case No. 01-CV-2026-901158.00, In the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, Birmingham Division (the "Litigation").

What is this about? The action arises from an alleged cyberattack that occurred on or around November 25, 2025 (the "Data Security Incident"). While Defendants deny any wrongdoing, the parties agreed to settle the case before trial rather than pursue litigation. The entity sued, Jefferson-Blount-St. Clair Mental Health Authority, is referred to as "Defendant."

Who is affected? You are a Settlement Class Member if you are an individual residing in the United States or its territories whose Private Information was determined to have been potentially impacted in the Data Security Incident, including if you were sent a Notice Letter.

What does the Settlement provide? The Settlement provides monetary relief. Settlement Class Members may submit a Claim for cash payment. All Settlement Class Members are also eligible to submit a Claim for Credit Monitoring Services.

How do I file a claim? Claim Forms are available for download and online submission at www.JBSSettlement.com. The deadline to submit a Claim Form, either online or via email or U.S. Mail, is December 23, 2026.

What are my other options? You can do nothing, exclude yourself, or object to the Settlement.

Do Nothing: If you do nothing, you will not receive a cash payment or Credit Monitoring Services. You will remain a member of the Settlement Class, be bound by the Settlement if it is approved by the Court and give up the right to sue Defendant over the claims resolved by the Settlement.

Exclude Yourself: If you exclude yourself, you will not be able to enroll in credit monitoring or receive a cash payment, but you may be able to file your own lawsuit against Defendant, for the same claims. This is the only option that leaves you the potential to file your own lawsuit against Defendant for the claims that are being resolved by the Settlement. To be effective, you must submit a request for exclusion by November 23, 2026.

Object: If you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you may submit an objection, by November 23, 2026, telling the Court why you do not like the Settlement. If your objection is overruled, you will be bound by the Settlement.

What happens next? The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on February 16, 2027, at 10:30 A.M. before Judge Chuck Price In the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, Birmingham Division to consider final approval of the Settlement, payment of attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses and the Plaintiffs' service awards. You may attend the hearing at your own expense, or you may pay your own lawyer to attend, but it is not necessary.
