MOVEit National Student Clearinghouse

If you received notice from National Student Clearinghouse that your personally identifying information was potentially compromised in the 2023 MOVEit Security Incident, you could get a payment from a class action settlement.

A Settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit against National Student Clearinghouse (“Defendant” or “NSC”). The Settlement resolves claims against NSC brought by an individual impacted by the MOVEit Security Incident as it relates to Social Security numbers (generally, Personal Identifying Information (“PII”)) provided by data owners to NSC, which occurred in May 2023. The MOVEit Security Incident resulted from an alleged vulnerability in the third-party file transfer software, MOVEit Transfer, that NSC used in its ordinary course of business. Claims against Progress Software Corporation (“Progress”), the licensor of the MOVEit software, have not been resolved, and the litigation will continue against Progress.

Under the proposed Settlement, you may be eligible to receive two (2) years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection services in addition to reimbursement of ordinary losses up to $2,500; reimbursement of extraordinary losses up to $10,000; or an alternative cash payment of up to $100 (subject to pro rata reduction or increase pending total claim submission). To receive a cash payment and/or credit monitoring services, you must complete and timely submit a Claim Form, subject to approval by the Settlement Administrator.
