The Boeing Company Consolidated Health And Welfare Benefit Plan was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IL Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on February 24, 2025.
From the AG filing description
The Boeing Company Consolidated Health And Welfare Benefit Plan appears to be an employee benefits plan and healthcare administration entity associated with a major aerospace corporation. In the course of managing employee health and welfare benefits, organizations of this type typically collect and store sensitive personal data, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance details, and medical claim information. The security incident affecting the plan was officially reported to the Illinois Attorney General in 2025. If you received a data breach notification letter from the plan, it indicates that your personal information may have been compromised in the incident. This page is designed to help you understand what information was involved and what steps you can take to protect yourself.
Under the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), you may have a legal claim against The Boeing Company Consolidated Health And Welfare Benefit Plan if any of the following apply:
Based on the data types reported in this filing:
Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.
Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.
HIPAA violations carry civil penalties between $100 and $50,000 per violation. Where a healthcare organization's negligence led to the exposure of protected health information, class members may recover statutory damages in addition to actual losses.
Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.
Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.
No. Under Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
If The Boeing Company Consolidated Health And Welfare Benefit Plan is a covered healthcare entity or business associate under HIPAA, affected patients have additional rights — including the right to an HHS complaint. These HIPAA violations also strengthen civil damages claims. Consult an attorney to understand your full remedies.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from The Boeing Company Consolidated Health And Welfare Benefit Plan does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by The Boeing Company Consolidated Health And Welfare Benefit Plan during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
