One Aug. 31 claim, plus four low-proof checks to screen now (2026)

The only item here that needs same-day attention is Family Medicine Centers: its claim deadline is August 31. Four newer data-breach settlements run into late September or October, but the practical filter is the same for all of them: file only if the official class description actually fits you, and treat every dollar figure as an estimate or a capped benefit rather than a promise.

Short version

Settlement	File by	Low-proof option	Main friction
Family Medicine Centers	Aug. 31	About $75 estimated	Check the administrator form and keep your notice handy
Community Realty Management	Sept. 25	About $20, pro rata	Case-specific form; no proof or explanation for this option
First Baptist Church of Hammond	Sept. 30	$50	Data-incident class; no proof or explanation for this option
Coleman Professional Services	Oct. 5 shown online; older notice says Sept. 23	About $70 estimated	Deadline conflict; check the official site before waiting
Dairy Farmers of America	Oct. 14	About $55, pro rata	$475,000 aggregate cap can reduce payments

These are proposed settlements. Payment generally waits for final approval and any appeals. A data-breach notice can make you eligible, but it does not mean every person in your household qualifies. Do not guess on a claim form that asks you to certify eligibility.

Closing soon

1. Family Medicine Centers data breach - file by August 31

The lawsuit. Sharber, et al. v. FMC Services, LLC, Case No. 111219-D-CV, is pending in the District Court of Potter County, Texas, 320th Judicial Court. The lawsuit alleges that Family Medicine Centers failed to protect personal and health information exposed in a July 2022 data incident; the settlement resolves the allegations without a trial. 1

Who qualifies. The settlement class covers people whose personally identifiable information or personal health information was compromised in the incident, including people who were sent a data-incident notice. The class is not simply every person who has ever visited a Family Medicine Centers facility. 2

What it is worth. The settlement is valued at $2.15 million. The low-friction choice, Cash Payment B, is estimated at $75, but the notice says the final amount depends on money left in the settlement fund after other payments. Cash Payment A can reimburse up to $5,000 in documented losses, but that route requires reasonable supporting records. Adult class members can also request two years of medical monitoring, and minor class members can request the minor-monitoring product. 2

Proof and filing. The $75 alternate-cash option does not require receipts or documented-loss records. Use the administrator's official claim form and the official settlement site for the eligibility test and filing instructions. Budget roughly four screens: identify the claimant, select the alternate cash benefit, choose any monitoring benefit, then certify and submit. The online claim page is case-specific, so keep the mailed or emailed notice nearby if you received one.

Five-minute check. Search your email and mail for Family Medicine Centers, FMC, or the settlement name. If the official class definition describes you, the $75 estimate is the only part worth comparing with your time. Do not reconstruct old medical bills unless you are intentionally pursuing the documented-loss option. File by August 31; the court still has to make the settlement final before payments go out. 3

Newly opened and current claims

2. Community Realty Management data incident - file by September 25

The lawsuit. Barry Alexander v. Community Realty Management, Inc., Case No. 2026-009398-CA-01, is pending in the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Florida. The case concerns a September 10 through October 22, 2024 data incident in which CRM identified people whose information may have been affected. 4

Who qualifies. The class includes people CRM identified as potentially impacted by the incident, including notice recipients. This is therefore a notice-based eligibility lane, not a public claim for anyone who has rented or worked with any property manager. 4

What it is worth. Cash Payment B is expected to be about $20. The settlement puts a $200,000 cap on the cash benefits, so payments can be reduced pro rata if valid claims exceed that amount. Cash Payment A can pay up to $2,000 for documented, unreimbursed losses tied to the incident, but it requires proof. All class members may also be eligible for two years of credit monitoring. 4

Proof and filing. For the $20 option, the notice says you do not have to provide proof or an explanation. Start at the official claim form. Plan for three to four steps: open the case-specific form, enter claimant or notice information, select the alternate cash option, then certify and submit. The form is not a general-purpose consumer survey, so have the CRM notice available if the administrator asks for a lookup code.

Five-minute check. If CRM sent you a data-incident notice, open the official form and compare the class dates and name information before filing. A $20 estimate is reasonable for five minutes; it is not a reason to claim when the official eligibility screen does not fit. The final approval hearing is listed for October 26, 2026, so payment is not immediate even if you file today. 5

3. First Baptist Church of Hammond data breach - file by September 30

The lawsuit. Kramer v. First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, Inc., Case No. 45D01-2509-CE-62, is pending in the Indiana Commercial Court in Lake County Superior Court. The case alleges that personal information was accessed or acquired in a July 2025 data breach. The church settled without admitting wrongdoing. 6

Who qualifies. The class covers individuals whose personal information was affected by the July 2025 incident. The court materials describe approximately 4,251 people in the affected group, including people who received breach notice. 7

What it is worth. The alternative cash payment is a flat $50 with no proof or explanation. The notice also offers documented ordinary losses up to $450, extraordinary losses up to $4,500, and up to four hours of lost time at $20 per hour. Those higher-value paths require details and supporting evidence, so they are outside this issue's quick-claim lane. 7

Proof and filing. Use the official claim form. Budget roughly four screens: open the case form, enter claimant and incident-notice information, select the $50 alternative payment, then certify and submit. No receipt upload is required for the $50 option. Keep the settlement notice in front of you because the administrator may use notice information to confirm the class member.

Five-minute check. This is worth the time only if you or the person you are filing for matches the official July 2025 breach class. File by September 30 rather than waiting for the final approval hearing, which is scheduled for November 30, 2026. The $50 figure is the clean comparison; do not choose the documented-loss route unless you can explain and support the loss. 8

4. Coleman Professional Services data breach - check the deadline before filing

The lawsuit. Armstrong v. Coleman Professional Services, Inc., Case No. 2024CV00139, concerns private information implicated in a September 18 through October 31, 2023 incident. The proposed settlement is $950,000 and covers U.S. residents whose information was involved, including mailed-notice recipients. 9

Who qualifies. The reported settlement class is about 51,889 people whose private information was implicated in the incident. The class definition is tied to the breach and the administrator's records, not to every patient of every Coleman facility. 10

What it is worth. The easy-claim estimate is roughly $70, assuming a 10% claim rate. The notice says the payment can move up or down after fees, administration, documented-loss claims and monitoring are paid. The fund's maximum contribution is $950,000. Documented losses up to $5,000 and one year of three-bureau monitoring are separate options. 10

Proof and filing. The no-document cash path does not require a documented loss. Use the official claim-form login. Plan for four screens: enter the case or notice information, choose the cash benefit, provide contact or payment information, then certify and submit.

The deadline conflict matters. The current official-site listing and ClassAction's current settlement page show October 5, 2026, but the long notice attached to the settlement materials says September 23, 2026. That is not a detail to smooth over. Check the official site immediately and file by the earlier date if the form accepts your claim; do not wait for October 5 merely because it appears in a newer listing. 9

Five-minute check. Search for a Coleman breach notice, then use the official form's eligibility test. If the form is open, the estimated $70 makes a short filing reasonable. If the deadline shown on the form differs again, save a screenshot and follow the administrator's current instruction rather than relying on a directory page.

5. Dairy Farmers of America data breach - file by October 14

The lawsuit. Jason Buhl v. Dairy Farmers of America, Inc., Case No. WY-2026-CV-000143, is pending in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. The case concerns personal information compromised in a June 2025 DFA data incident. 11

Who qualifies. The class covers U.S. residents whose personal information was compromised in the incident, including people who received a data-breach notice. The official notice is the controlling source for whether a particular person appears in the administrator's affected records. 12

What it is worth. The alternate cash payment is expected to be about $55, with no proof or explanation required. There is an aggregate $475,000 cap on these cash payments; if valid claims exceed the cap, each payment can be reduced pro rata. The documented-loss option can pay up to $4,500 but requires supporting records. 12

Proof and filing. File through the official DFA claim form. Budget three to four steps: enter the case-specific claimant information, choose alternate cash, complete payment details, then certify and submit. No receipt or loss document is required for the $55 option, but the notice may be needed to complete the administrator's lookup.

Five-minute check. Confirm that the official form's class definition matches you, then file by October 14 if it does. The $55 estimate is useful because it keeps the decision honest: it is a small, potentially reduced payment, not a surprise check for hundreds of dollars. 13

Three quick wins

FMC today: If the July 2022 Family Medicine Centers breach class fits you, submit the estimated $75 alternate-cash claim by August 31.
CRM next: Put the Community Realty Management notice beside you and screen the $20 pro-rata option before September 25.
Coleman early: Check the official Coleman form now and use September 23 as the conservative filing date until the deadline conflict is resolved.

The other two clean checks are First Baptist Church of Hammond at $50 by September 30 and DFA at an estimated $55 by October 14. In every case, the five-minute value test is the same: official eligibility first, payout estimate second, filing effort third. If the class does not fit, the correct move is to close the tab.
