Time to cash in and receive your share of $5,300 from Retina Group of Washington (RGW) that is offering this hefty amount for eligible citizens due to their class action settlement agreement. With the deadline fast approaching and set for June 23, 2025, eligible citizens should get their claims in before missing out on this deal entirely. The $5,300 payment is part of the $3,6 million class action settlement, which deals with a data breach that occurred in March 2023. Data breaches and the exposure of customer personal data are taken very seriously, as proven by this class action settlement agreement.
Taking note of important dates
Since the deadline to submit a claim is within this month, eligible citizens need to take note of the important date first. The claim deadline is June 23, 2025, and eligible claimants must be sure to file a claim by or before this date to be eligible for the class action agreement settlement fee.
What is on offer from this class action settlement?
All Retina Group of Washington class action members will be entitled to one of the following offerings once they submit a valid claim before June 23:
Payment of up to $300 for ordinary expenses
Those RGW members who experienced smaller charges, like bank fees or phone charges, will be eligible to claim about $300 in reimbursement. Covered in this category is a payment for up to four hours of lost time billed at $25 per hour.
$5,000 payment for intense losses
Major losses incurred as a result of the data breach are paid out at about $5,000. Major losses would include account takeovers, stolen funds, or stolen identities that may have resulted directly from the data breach. To be eligible for the intense loss payment, citizens will need to provide the necessary documentation to support their claims.
$100 claim
For cases where no financial harm was incurred, eligible class action members may still receive about $100 in compensation. This $100 amount will vary as it is mainly dependent on how many eligible claimants submit their claims before the claim filing deadline. For those eligible class action members who chose this payment option, no credit monitoring will be offered.
No financial payment, but credit monitoring services
The final option would be to settle for a payment alternative. Two years of three-bureau credit monitoring and identity theft protection are also on offer as per this class action settlement agreement. Alongside daily monitoring and offering fraud resolution assistance, there is $1 million on offer in identity theft insurance. For those eligible claimants who are afraid of what may occur years after the data breach, they would perhaps be better off by choosing this option.
How can RGW clients qualify for this class action settlement?
Anyone residing in the U.S. who had their personal data accessed during the RGW data breach that happened on March 26, 2023, can put forward a claim. To note eligibility, RGW clients affected by the data breach would have received official notifications from RGW detailing the data breach that transpired.
Eligible citizens are those who may have had some personal data exposed during the data breach, such as
- Driver’s license number
- Health insurance information
- Social Security numbers
- Personal data that may have been exposed
According to this lawsuit, RGW did not take the necessary action to prevent the data breach, nor did the RGW group ensure reasonable cybersecurity measures were in place so as to prevent this data breach from occurring. Although the Reina Group of Washington has denied all allegations pertaining to wrongdoing, they are going forward with this class action settlement so as to resolve all legal claims.

Disclaimer: You should not submit false or inflated claims under penalty of perjury, as class‑action claim forms historically required declarations signed “under penalty of perjury” to ensure authenticity. Submitting a fraudulent claim not only carries legal exposure—including potential civil and criminal sanctions—but also harms other eligible class members by diluting the available settlement pool.
