23andMe Lawsuit: When Will It Pay Out?

What is the 23andMe Lawsuit about?

A court-authorized settlement for the October 2023 23andMe cyberattack (affecting ~6.4 million U.S. residents) offers: (1) up to $10,000 for documented Extraordinary Claims; (2) up to $165 for Health Information Claims if notified that health/genetic data was involved; (3) an estimated $100 Statutory Cash Claim for residents of AK, CA, IL, or OR during the incident period; and (4) 5 years of Privacy & Medical Shield + Genetic Monitoring. A Settlement Fund between $30–$50 million will pay benefits (amounts may be reduced proportionally if the fund is under $50 million). Eligibility, claim review, payment timing, and any payment amount are determined by the settlement administrator, court-approved terms, or applicable refund program. Payout does not administer the settlement, determine eligibility, or guarantee payment.
