Urban One Class Action Settlement FAQs
Common questions about this class action settlement.
Who is covered?
People who resided in the United States and had private information potentially compromised in the Urban One data incident discovered in March 2025. Anyone who received a notice of the incident is included. The case is Gomian Konneh v. Urban One Inc. in the District of Maryland.
Do I need proof to claim the cash payment?
No. The alternative cash payment, described in the settlement as Option B, requires no documentation. That is the trade a settlement makes for an option that anyone in the class can use: no paperwork, a capped amount, and a share that shrinks if a lot of people file. The credit monitoring enrollment likewise needs no proof.
What about documented losses?
The settlement also offers a documented loss and lost time route, called Option A, for class members who can show money or time the incident cost them. Sparrow does not file that option, so if you want to claim documented losses you need to file directly with the settlement administrator using the official claim form.
How much will I actually receive?
Up to $500, but the payment is pro rata, which means the fund is divided among approved claims. If many class members file, each share falls below the cap. The number published before a claims period closes is a ceiling, not a forecast, and the final amount is set after the administrator validates the claims.
When is the deadline?
Claims must be submitted online, by email, or postmarked by mail no later than October 12, 2026. The official site is UrbanOneDataIncident.com. Mailed claims are paid by paper check, so filing online is the faster route if you would rather not wait on the mail twice.
When will I get paid?
Payment timing is set by the settlement administrator, not Sparrow. Administrators usually pay after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved, which can take several months or longer after the claim deadline.
