Arkansas Joins Multistate 23andMe Settlement

Arkansas is expected to receive $431,937 under an approximately $18 million multistate settlement with 23andMe over a 2023 breach that affected about 6.

9 million consumers, including more than 48,000 Arkansas residents. The exposed information included customer data and, in some cases, genetic ancestry details. The settlement is linked to 23andMe’s Chapter 11 proceedings and does not provide direct payments to affected Arkansas consumers; approval and separate consumer claims processes remain relevant.
