If you live in the United States and your private information was potentially compromised in the Urban One data incident discovered in March 2025, you can file a claim. Receiving a notice of the incident puts you in the class. The alternative cash payment is up to $500 and needs no proof, and you can add three years of credit monitoring. The deadline is October 12, 2026.
Resided in the United States and had Private Information potentially compromised in the Urban One data incident discovered in March 2025, including individuals who received notice of the Data Incident.
The class covers people who resided in the United States and had private information potentially compromised in the incident, including anyone who received a notice about it. The case is Gomian Konneh v. Urban One Inc., No. 8:25-cv-01460-PX, in the District of Maryland.
The alternative cash payment is pro rata, so the amount paid moves with the number of approved claims rather than being fixed at the cap. Claims mailed in are paid by paper check. Documented loss and lost time claims exist in this settlement but are not filed through Sparrow.
You can also file directly with the settlement administrator. Read the official settlement notice for the full terms.

Common questions about this class action settlement.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
