A $12.67 million settlement is open in a lawsuit accusing Wyssta Services Inc. of installing tracking technology on Delta Dental's online member portal that shared visitors' information with outside companies. As of July 2026, the case, Feeler v. Wyssta Services Inc., has preliminary court approval, and people who held a portal account during the covered years can file a claim for an estimated $16.50 cash payment.
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 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
As of July 16, 2026, the last verification date for this page, the settlement has preliminary approval only. The court has not yet decided whether to grant final approval. A hearing on that question is scheduled for September 9, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., before the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, Illinois.
That hearing comes after the claims window closes, not before. The judge will review the settlement, including how many people filed claims, before deciding whether to approve it. No payment date has been set, and none typically is until after final approval.
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, estimated $16.50 cash payment per valid claim, paid from the $12.67 million fund. That figure is not guaranteed. It is a pro-rata estimate, meaning the actual amount could go up or down depending on how many people file valid claims and what the court approves for attorney's fees, administrative costs, and any service awards.
There is no separate, higher tier for people who can document specific financial losses. Everyone who qualifies and files 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 does not require documentation of financial harm, because none is alleged. The claim form asks you to confirm that you 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 are all due by the same date, August 20, 2026. Kroll Settlement Administration LLC is handling claims for this case, and filing happens only through the official settlement website or by mail to the administrator, never through RecordingLaw.com or any third-party site.
Opting out and objecting are different things, and both also have to happen by August 20, 2026. Opting out removes you from the class and the settlement fund entirely, but preserves your right to sue Wyssta on your own. Objecting keeps you in the class while telling the judge, in writing, that you think the deal is 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 administrator's current estimate of what that division looks like.
If far more people file claims than expected, each payment could shrink below that estimate. If fewer people file, each payment could be somewhat higher. Neither this page nor the settlement website can tell you the final number in advance, because it depends on how many other claimants show up 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
If you plan to file, do it before August 20, 2026, and keep a copy of your confirmation. If you are still deciding whether to opt out or object, review the official notice for the exact steps and deadline, since both require more than simply doing nothing. Either way, there is nothing to do right now beyond that. No further action is required to preserve your place in the class if you plan to simply let the settlement run its course and later file a standard claim.
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.

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 qualify.
How much money can I get from this settlement?
The settlement estimates a $16.50 cash payment per valid claim from the $12.67 million fund. That amount is not guaranteed and may be adjusted up or down depending on the number of valid claims filed and the fees and costs the court approves.
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 is August 20, 2026. That same date is 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?

Can I still opt out or object to the settlement?
Yes, but only until August 20, 2026. Opting out removes you from the class and preserves your right to sue separately, while objecting keeps you in the class while asking the judge to change or reject the deal.
