Yeah, its legit but its BS. The lawyers get all the money and the victims get a pittance. they get 30% of $350 million and we get $50. Who Hoo! This is especially disturbing if your info is on the dark web yet has not been used for identity theft and later when this suit is over it is used. It should never end. If your data is used they should pay, for the rest of your life. Don't take the money if you haven't yet had your identity stolen. Its the only way you can sue later. 

Unfortunately, it looks as though we're kinda screwed for the ability to sue post-settlement whether we take the money or not. But I'm not a lawyer. This info was on the settlement site:

"If you do nothing, you can still access Restoration Services after the Settlement is final, but will not be entitled to any other benefits provided under the Settlement. If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up your rights to sue T-Mobile separately for claims relating to the Data Breach or to continue to pursue any such claims you have already filed."
