How to Fill Out and Submit the Krispy Kreme Settlement Claim Form

To file a Krispy Kreme settlement claim form, go to the settlement administrator’s website and submit online, or print the form and mail it to the PO Box in Portland, Oregon. Either way, your claim must be submitted or postmarked by June 22, 2026. You will need to choose one of two cash options on the form: up to $3,500 for documented losses from the November 2024 data breach, or a flat payment of roughly $75 with no proof required.

Confirm You Are in the Class

Only people who received a Notice of the Data Incident from Krispy Kreme can file. The class covers living U.S. residents whose private information may have been exposed in the breach, with a class period running from November 29, 2024, through June 22, 2026.¹ No notice, no claim. If you got a postcard notice, keep it. It contains an activation code for the one year of credit monitoring available to every class member, whether or not you file a claim form.

Decide Which Payment Option to Claim

The form asks you to pick one cash option. Make the choice before you start, because it changes what you need to attach.

Option A: Documented Losses Up to $3,500

Pick this if the breach cost you money or time. Reimbursable items include fraudulent charges, identity theft expenses, credit freeze fees, and time spent dealing with fraud. You must submit reasonable documentation: phone records, receipts, bank statements, and correspondence such as emails. A personal statement or affidavit alone does not qualify as proof, though you can include one to give context to your records. You cannot claim anything already covered by another source, including the credit monitoring Krispy Kreme offered in its original notification letter.²

If you choose Option A and your documentation is later found insufficient, the administrator will notify you. If you don’t fix it, your claim will be processed as an Option B flat payment instead.

Option B: Flat Payment of Approximately $75

Pick this if you have no documentation, or don’t want the trouble of gathering it. No proof of harm is required beyond your status as a class member.² The $75 figure is an estimate. Both options are subject to pro rata adjustment based on how many valid claims come in.

File Online

The online portal is the faster route. Open the claim page on the settlement website and follow the login instructions using the identifiers from your notice. Complete the form, upload any documentation if you selected Option A, and submit. You will receive a confirmation code by email. Save that email. You’ll need the code if you contact the administrator about your claim later.³

For Option A uploads, scanned receipts, screenshots of bank statements showing fraudulent charges, and email correspondence are all acceptable. Make sure each file is legible and clearly connected to the breach.

File by Mail

Print the claim form from the settlement website, fill it out completely, and mail it with any supporting documents to:

Krispy Kreme Data Incident
Settlement Administrator
PO Box 2047
Portland, OR 97208-2047

The envelope must be postmarked by June 22, 2026. Use a mailing method that gives you tracking or delivery confirmation so you have proof it went out on time.²

Deadlines to Track

Opt-out deadline: June 6, 2026 (postmarked)
Claim filing deadline: June 22, 2026 (submitted online or postmarked)
Final Approval Hearing: July 6, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. EDT

When Not to File a Claim

Filing means you accept the settlement and give up the right to sue Krispy Kreme separately over this breach. If your losses run well past $3,500 and you want to pursue your own case, opt out instead. Mail a written exclusion request with your name, address, phone number, email if you have one, your signature, and a statement asking to be excluded from the class in In Re: Krispy Kreme Data Breach Litigation. Send it to the same PO Box, postmarked by June 6, 2026. Phone and email requests are not accepted, and third parties cannot opt out groups of people at once.²

You can also stay in the class but object to the settlement’s terms in writing. Objections are reviewed at the Final Approval Hearing. Check the settlement website for the required format and objection deadline.

After You Submit

The administrator reviews each claim for completeness. If documentation is missing or inadequate, you should receive a notice and an opportunity to correct it. Valid claims move to payment once the court enters final judgment and any appeals are resolved. If no one appeals after the July 2026 hearing, payments generally go out within a few months. Deposit any physical check promptly, since settlement checks carry an expiration date and uncashed funds revert to the pool.¹

One thing to keep in mind for taxes: data breach settlement payments are generally treated as taxable income, because the physical injury exclusion under Internal Revenue Code Section 104(a)(2) does not apply.⁴ A $75 payment likely won’t trigger a Form 1099-MISC, since the reporting threshold sits at $600, but a large Option A reimbursement could. Report the income either way.
