Current Status
The November 19, 2024 claim deadline has passed. After the February 6, 2025 fairness hearing, the federal court entered its final approval order and judgment on February 7. The administrator's public pages still emphasize the former claim process and do not post a payment mailing or final distribution report. Eligible people cannot file a new claim through this page.StatusFinal Approval Granted; Claims Closed

What Was the Squishable Data Incident?
The litigation concerned unauthorized access affecting Squishable.com customers and website visitors. The court-authorized notice described a data incident that lasted from May 26 through October 12, 2022 and involved personal information in company files. The settlement class was limited to people who were subject to that incident and received notice from Squishable. The complaint alleged that the company's security practices did not adequately protect the information. Squishable denied wrongdoing and liability, and the settlement resolved the claims without a trial.Who Could Submit a Claim?
A person generally had to have received Squishable's data-incident notice to fall within the settlement definition. Being a customer of the toy company at some unrelated time was not enough. The notice population included both customer and employee information affected by the incident, subject to the exclusions in the agreement. Claimants also had to submit the administrator's form by November 19, 2024; that eligibility window cannot be recreated by finding an old form online.What Ordinary-Loss Benefits Were Offered?
Class members could seek reimbursement for documented ordinary out-of-pocket losses and time reasonably spent responding to the incident. The combined ordinary-loss and lost-time category was capped at $200. Lost time could be valued at $15 per hour for up to four hours, or $60, and claimants had to attest that the time was actually spent addressing the incident. Documents were required for the reimbursable expenses even where a separate receipt was not required for the attested time.What Extraordinary-Loss Benefits Were Offered?
A claimant who experienced actual fraud or identity theft plausibly traceable to the incident could request up to $2,500 for documented, unreimbursed extraordinary losses. The settlement required a connection to the incident, reasonable efforts to avoid or recover the loss, and supporting records. It did not promise $2,500 to everyone who received notice. California subclass members could also request an additional $100 payment under the settlement terms.Could Payments Be Reduced?
Yes. The $500,000 maximum fund also covered administration, notice, court-approved fees and expenses, and other permitted settlement costs. If approved claims exceeded the amount available for class benefits, payments could be adjusted under the agreement's allocation rules. That is why the former benefit figures were maximums rather than guaranteed checks. The final amount depended on claim review and the overall approved claims pool.What Should Former Claimants Do Now?
People who filed by the deadline should rely on communications from the administrator and the official Squishable settlement site. The site preserves notices and case documents but does not currently provide a public distribution date. OpenClassActions cannot validate a claim, replace a payment, or reopen the filing period.Official Information
