File your claim today—this is the final deadline for the 23andMe Customer Data Security Breach settlement. If you don’t submit by 11:59 p.m. Central Time, you’ll forfeit your payout entirely.

Settlement Deadline: Today

The claim deadline for this class action settlement is February 17, 2026. And that is today. If you have not filed yet, stop reading and go file right now.

Important: If you first received a notice about this settlement on or after January 5, 2026, and your notice states a different deadline, your deadline may be March 1, 2026. Check the date listed on your original email notice to confirm.

Do not pay anyone to file a claim for you. The claims process is free, and any service charging a fee to submit your claim is taking money you could keep.

What Is the Settlement Payout?

How much you receive from this settlement depends on the type of claim. Payments range up to $10,000, with different tiers for different claim types:

• Extraordinary Claims: Reimbursement of up to $10,000 for documented unreimbursed costs (e.g. identity fraud, falsified tax returns, physical security systems, mental health counseling).
• Health Information Claims: Cash payment of up to $165 for those notified that their health information was involved.
• Statutory Cash Claims: Estimated $100 for residents of Alaska, California, Illinois, or Oregon who received a data breach settlements notice.
• Monitoring Service: 5 years of Privacy & Medical Shield + Genetic Monitoring.

Most class members will receive between $100 and $165 without submitting documentation, though those with documented losses can claim up to $10,000 through the Extraordinary Claims process.

Here is the reality of class actions: the more people who file a claim, the smaller each settlement check. But even a modest payment is worth the two minutes it takes to file.
