Krispy Kreme to pay $1.6M settlement to consumers. Are you eligible?

Krispy Kreme has agreed to pay a $1.6 million settlement stemming from a class action lawsuit that alleges the doughnut chain failed to prevent a data breach in November 2024.

The lawsuit alleges private information, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and financial account access information, was leaked. Krispy Kreme denies any wrongdoing or liability.

According to the settlement website, you are included in the class if you are an individual residing in the United States and were sent a notice of the data breach indicating your private information may have been impacted.

Here's what to know about the settlement and how to file a claim.

When is the deadline to file a claim?

A claim must be filed by June 22, 2026, for consumers to be eligible for a payout. The deadline to exclude yourself from the settlement or object to the settlement is June 6, 2026.

What eligible consumers can receive if they file a claim

All class members can receive a $75 cash payment, according to the Krispy Kreme settlement website. The number could change depending on the number of claims filed.

Class members with documented losses can get up to $3,500 for reimbursement for fraud, identity theft and other losses. Proof must be included on the claim form, including receipts, emails or phone records.

Class members who do not submit a claim will still receive access to one year of credit monitoring. The settlement website said class members should have received an activation code on their postcard notice.

How to submit a claim form

Class members can submit a claim on the Krispy Kreme settlement website or mail it to the settlement administrator at the address on the claim form. Claim forms are also available by calling 1-877-239-1879.
