Settlement checks in the PharMerica data-breach case were issued on October 12 and 13, 2026, and any that stay uncashed will become void after April 10, 2027. That gives people who filed an approved claim about six months from the issue dates to deposit the money. The date is a void date for checks, not a deadline to file a claim.

The official settlement site, run by Kroll Settlement Administration, describes a $5,275,000 class action settlement. The class is made up of all living people in the United States who were provided notice of the data incident. Open Class Actions reports that about 1.45 million class members received direct notice.

Which payments went out on October 12 and 13?

The site says cash payments for approved claims were issued on October 12, 2026 and October 13, 2026. It lists two kinds of cash payment. Payment A reimburses documented losses, up to a maximum of $10,000 per class member, with supporting documentation, and PharMerica pays it separately from the settlement fund.

Payment B is the pro rata share, paid from the net settlement fund, and the site says all class members who qualify for it receive the same amount. The site does not post a dollar figure for that share, so the $5,275,000 total says nothing about what any one check holds.

What does April 10, 2027 mean for an uncashed check?

The settlement site says that any uncashed checks will become void after April 10, 2027. A check that has not been deposited by then is no longer good, and the site does not say how a voided check could be replaced. Counting from October 12, the window runs a little under six months. Checks issued on October 12 and on October 13 share the same April 10 cutoff.

For someone who filed a claim, the questions are plain. Did a PharMerica settlement check arrive in the mail, and where is it now? Checks from a settlement administrator can look like junk mail, and a package of paperwork on a counter is the usual place for one to be forgotten.

What else does the settlement provide?

Credit monitoring is separate from the cash and needs no claim. The site says class members get one year of Kroll Complete Monitoring, which includes $1,000,000 of insurance coverage for fraud and identity theft with no deductible. The year starts when a member uses their activation code, so a code left in an envelope delays the coverage.

That matters for a data-breach case. The breach put personal information at risk, and a monitoring year that has not started provides no alerts. A person can cash the check and still leave the monitoring unactivated.

The date also matters to anyone helping a parent or a neighbor with their mail. A member of a household who filed a claim for an older relative may be the only one who knows a check was expected. Writing down the issue date, the check number and the date it was deposited takes a minute and settles the question later if the bank or the administrator asks.

Who to call about a missing check

The administrator lists the phone number (833) 754-6609 and a mailing address of Settlement Administrator, 83343, c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, P.O. Box 225391, New York, NY 10150-5391. The site points to its FAQ on payments for questions about missing or lost checks. The open question for any claimant is whether the money is deposited well before April 10, 2027.

Cashed your PharMerica check?

A settlement check that is issued on October 12 or 13 and void after April 10, 2027 has a hard end date, and a check that sits unopened with other mail is the easy way to miss it. After that date the money is gone, and a lost envelope leaves the activation code for the free monitoring lost along with it.

The Settlement & Refund Recovery System includes a claim log and payment tracker, where each settlement check is entered with its issue date and void date. It also explains how to get an expired or uncashed settlement check reissued, and carries a large-print quick-start.
