SSI Payment Amounts by State
5400 Payment: According to reports, Nationwide Vision agreed to a $3.45 million settlement after a data breach revealed the personal information of over 710,000 people. The breach, which occurred between April and May of 2021, affected Sightcare, Nationwide Vision Center, Nationwide Optometry, and their patients, employees, and dependents.
The settlement resolves the class action lawsuit against the company, even though they deny any wrongdoing.
According to Marca, the lawsuit claims that the breach happened because Nationwide Vision and Sightcare failed to implement proper cybersecurity measures. As part of the settlement, eligible individuals may get reimbursement for losses caused by the breach or receive a cash payment. Although the exact amount will depend on the total number of claims submitted and the court’s approval, the expected payout per person is approximately $50.
