“How to Get Relief If You Were Harmed by Equifax’s Data Breach”

From the Office of the Attorney General:

“Last week, AG Racine announced a historic $600 million multistate settlement with Equifax over its 2017 data breach that exposed the personal information of more than 350,000 District residents and nearly half of the US population. This is the largest data breach settlement in history and it will require Equifax to:

  • Offer affected consumers free credit monitoring services for 10 years
  • Provide free Identity Theft Restoration services to all affected consumers
  • Strengthen its data security practices to help protect against another breach
  • Pay up to $425 million into a settlement fund for the benefit of affected consumers
  • Pay $175 million to the states, $4 million of which will go to the District of Columbia
  • Equifax will take steps to assist consumers:
    • with understanding their credit report;
    • with disputing inaccurate entries on their credit report, including credit report entries that are the result of identity theft;
    • who have become the victim of identity theft or who are concerned about becoming the victim of identity theft; and
    • including assisting active duty military members and their families with credit report issues unique to military members.

To find out if you are eligible for relief under the settlement and to submit a claim, visit the Equifax Breach Settlement website at www.EquifaxBreachSettlement.com or call 1-833-759-2982 toll-free to learn more. The deadline to file a claim in January 22, 2020.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
