Thousands of U.S. citizens who faced a specific issue in the past have an opportunity to claim stimulus payments of up to $4,000, providing a welcome financial boost. The source of this payment is unrelated to the IRS or the Social Security Administration but rather stems from a data breach that occurred last year. Here are the key facts you need to know:
Stimulus Check Background
Stimulus checks, though officially ceased by the U.S. government, persist in popular terminology for additional payments citizens may receive through various means. In this instance, the payment is linked to a data breach, offering eligible individuals a one-time payment.
Eligibility Criteria
If you were a customer of Inntopia in 2022, you may qualify for this stimulus check. Inntopia faced a data breach, leading to a lawsuit for not adequately protecting customers’ information. The company settled, offering affected customers an initial sum of $500. However, this amount can potentially be increased to a total of $4,000.

Augmenting the Stimulus Check
To maximize the stimulus check to $4,000, individuals need to demonstrate additional financial losses resulting from the data breach. Official documentation, including invoices, receipts, and billing statements, should be submitted to support the claim.
Deadline for Application
The deadline for applying for this stimulus check is November 30, 2023. After this date, the company will not process any additional checks related to the data breach. Victims of identity theft or personal information theft are urged to submit all required documents before the deadline.
Application Process
The application process involves filing a claim directly through the official website of the case. Eligible individuals should promptly visit the domain, providing all necessary documents to ensure they receive the direct payment.
Collection Method and Tax Implications
Details about the collection method for the stimulus check are yet to be announced by the company. It’s crucial to note that this payment does not interfere with other checks related to daily life, such as Social Security, SSI, or disability benefits. However, recipients should be mindful of potential tax implications and consider seeking advice from tax advisors or legal professionals involved in the claim case to navigate tax responsibilities associated with the stimulus check.
As the November 30 deadline approaches, affected individuals are encouraged to take swift action to secure their eligibility for this financial relief.
