A toll-free number, 1-888-288-9625, has been established in the case (called In Re: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Data Theft Litigation, MDL No. 1796), along with a website, www.VeteransClass.com, where notices, a claim form, and the settlement agreement may be obtained. Those affected may also write to VA Settlement, PO Box 6727, Portland, OR 97228-6727.
