A $12.67 million settlement resolves a lawsuit accusing Wyssta Services Inc. of installing tracking technology on Delta Dental's online member portal that shared visitors' information with outside companies. The case, Feeler v. Wyssta Services Inc., received preliminary court approval, the claim window closed August 20, 2026, and a final approval hearing was scheduled for September 9, 2026. People who held a portal account during the covered years and filed on time are in line for a cash payment of up to $16.50, which can be reduced but not increased.

This is not a hacking or data-breach case. Nobody is alleging that Wyssta's systems were broken into. The claim is that tracking tools embedded in the portal itself, commonly called pixels or cookies, sent visitor activity to third parties without proper consent.

What the Lawsuit Says Wyssta Did

The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, Illinois, and centers on the online healthcare portal at my.deltadentalcoversme.com, where Delta Dental members log in to manage their dental benefits. According to the complaint, Wyssta Services Inc. installed advertising and analytics tracking tools on the site.

Those tools, the suit alleges, sent information about how people used the portal to outside companies without getting clear consent first. The lawsuit alleges that this violated two laws: the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the Illinois Eavesdropping Statute. The Illinois law is an all-party-consent statute. It bars surreptitiously intercepting, recording, or transcribing a private electronic communication you are not a party to unless all parties consent (720 ILCS 5/14-2(a)(3)).

The settlement resolves those claims. As in most class-action settlements, the deal does not include a court ruling on whether Wyssta actually did what the lawsuit describes.

Where the Case Stands Right Now

The settlement received preliminary approval, and the claim window closed August 20, 2026. The court-approved notice scheduled the final approval hearing for September 9, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., before Hon. Gail Noll in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, Illinois, and warned that the date could change. We have not confirmed from the official settlement site whether the court has granted final approval, so check wysstaservicesclassaction.com for the current status.

That hearing came after the claim window closed, not before. At it, the judge was to consider whether to approve the settlement, Class Counsel's fees and costs, and the service award. Payments come only after final approval and after any appeals are resolved.

Who's Covered by the Settlement

You may be part of the settlement class if you held an account on Delta Dental's online healthcare portal, at my.deltadentalcoversme.com, at any point between January 23, 2021, and January 23, 2025. You do not need to have complained to Wyssta or Delta Dental yourself. Simply having held a portal account during that window is what defines the class.

The case does not appear to turn on which specific dental plan you had or which state you live in. It turns on whether you had portal access during the class period.

How Much You Might Actually Get

The settlement is structured as a flat cash payment of up to $16.50 per valid claim, paid from the $12.67 million fund. That figure is a ceiling, not a guarantee. Under the court-approved notice, if the number of valid claims exceeds what remains in the fund after attorney's fees, administrative costs, and any service award, each payment is reduced pro rata. Nothing in the notice provides for payments above $16.50.

There is no separate, higher tier for people who can document specific financial losses. Everyone who was eligible and filed a valid claim is in line for the same estimated amount. That is typical of a tracking-technology privacy settlement like this one, where the alleged harm is the unauthorized sharing of information itself, not an out-of-pocket loss like fraud.

What You Need to Prove

Filing did not require documentation of financial harm, because none is alleged. The claim form asked claimants to confirm that they held a covered portal account during the class period, for example using information from the notice you were sent, or your own attestation that you had an account on the site between January 23, 2021, and January 23, 2025.

If you received a notice by mail or email with a claim identification number, keep it. It can make filing faster, though it is not the only way to establish that you belong in the class.

How to File

Claims, opt-out requests, and objections were all due by the same date, August 20, 2026, and that deadline has passed. Kroll Settlement Administration LLC is handling claims for this case, and filing happened only through the official settlement website or by mail to the administrator, never through RecordingLaw.com or any third-party site. That official site is still where a filed claim can be checked.

Opting out and objecting were different things, and both also had to happen by August 20, 2026. Opting out removed you from the class and the settlement fund entirely but preserved your right to sue Wyssta on your own. Objecting kept you in the class while telling the judge, in writing, that the deal was unfair.

What "Pro Rata" Means for Your Payment

Pro rata just means proportional. The $12.67 million fund is fixed, so the settlement divides it among everyone who files a valid claim, after the court-approved deductions for attorney's fees, administrative costs, and any service awards to the named plaintiff come out. The $16.50 figure is the maximum each valid claimant can receive.

If more valid claims are filed than the remaining fund can cover at $16.50 each, every payment shrinks proportionally below that amount. If fewer people file, the payment stays at $16.50; it does not rise above it. Neither this page nor the settlement website can tell you the final number in advance, because it depends on how many claimants filed before the August 20, 2026 deadline.

About the Health-Related Information Involved

Delta Dental's portal is where members manage dental insurance, log in to check coverage, or handle claims, not a general medical-records system, but it is still the kind of healthcare-adjacent account where visitors reasonably expect privacy. The lawsuit's theory is about tracking technology capturing how people used the site, such as pages visited or actions taken, not about a hacker accessing member records.

Nothing reviewed for this settlement describes Social Security numbers, treatment records, or financial account numbers being exposed. If you're unsure whether information you consider sensitive was involved, the official settlement site's notice and FAQ page are the most complete source, not general summaries like this one.

A Naming Quirk Worth Knowing

Even though the case is widely described by Delta Dental's name because that is whose portal was involved, the defendant and the official settlement website both use the Wyssta name, not Delta Dental's. The real claims site is wysstaservicesclassaction.com. If you search for "Delta Dental settlement" and land on a site with a different web address that asks for more than your basic account confirmation, such as a Social Security number, full payment card details, or a password, treat that as a red flag and go directly to the address above instead.

What to Do While You Wait

The August 20, 2026 deadline to file a claim, opt out, or object has passed, so there is nothing left to submit. If you filed, keep your confirmation and watch the official settlement site for the court's decision from the final approval hearing, which was scheduled for September 9, 2026. No further action is required to preserve your place in the class.

Is This a Data Breach?

No. A data breach typically means someone outside the company gained unauthorized access to a system, often through hacking. This case is different. It is about tracking technology that Wyssta is accused of choosing to install directly on the Delta Dental portal, which then shared visitor activity with outside companies as a matter of ordinary, if disputed, business practice, not because of an intrusion.

That distinction matters for how you think about your own risk here. There is no allegation in this case that your account was hacked or that login credentials were stolen.

Taxes on a Settlement Payment

Whether a settlement payment is taxable depends on what it is meant to replace, and the IRS treats different categories of settlement income differently. This page is not tax advice; consult a tax professional about your specific situation. General IRS guidance on settlement taxability is available on IRS.gov.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Delta Dental Website Privacy Settlement?

The Delta Dental Website Privacy Settlement resolves a lawsuit, Feeler v. Wyssta Services Inc., accusing Wyssta of installing tracking pixels and cookies on Delta Dental's online member portal and sharing visitor data with third parties without proper consent. The case received preliminary court approval for a $12.67 million settlement fund, the claim window has closed, and a final approval hearing was scheduled for September 9, 2026.

Who is Wyssta Services Inc.?

Wyssta Services Inc. is the company named as the defendant in this lawsuit over tracking technology on the Delta Dental portal. The settlement resolves the claims without a court ruling on whether Wyssta did what the lawsuit describes.

Am I part of the settlement class?

You may be part of the class if you held an account on Delta Dental's online healthcare portal at my.deltadentalcoversme.com between January 23, 2021, and January 23, 2025. You do not need to have taken any other action to be included.

How much money can I get from this settlement?

The settlement pays up to $16.50 per valid claim from the $12.67 million fund. That amount is a cap, not a guarantee: it is reduced pro rata if valid claims exceed the money left after the fees and costs the court approves, and it does not increase.

What proof do I need to file a claim?

You need to confirm you held a covered Delta Dental portal account during the class period, for example using information from your notice or your own attestation. No proof of financial loss is required, since none is alleged in this case.

What is the deadline to file a claim?

The claim deadline was August 20, 2026, and it has passed. That same date was also the deadline to opt out of the settlement or to object to it.

Is this a data breach settlement?

No. This case is not about a hacking incident or unauthorized access to Wyssta's or Delta Dental's systems. It concerns advertising and analytics tracking technology allegedly installed on the portal that shared visitor activity with outside companies.

When will payments actually be sent?

Payments come only after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved. The final approval hearing was scheduled for September 9, 2026; check the official settlement site for the court's decision and any payment timing.

Can I still opt out or object to the settlement?

No. Both closed on August 20, 2026. Opting out would have removed you from the class while preserving your right to sue separately, and objecting would have kept you in the class while asking the judge to change or reject the deal.
