Overview
- A U.S. bankruptcy judge on Tuesday, July 7 ordered Chrome Holding to transfer the full $46.75 million settlement to Kroll Restructuring Administration so Kroll can manage distribution to eligible claimants.
- Of the $46.75 million total, $14.29 million has already been paid out and the court approval frees the remaining $32.46 million for claim distribution.
- Actual payments will wait for the bankruptcy reconciliation process to finish and could take several months before claimants receive cash or services.
- The settlement uses a tiered payout plan that includes up to $10,000 for verified extraordinary claims, up to $165 for health-information claims, an estimated $100 statutory cash payment, and five years of privacy and genetic monitoring for eligible class members.
- The ruling follows a 2023 breach that exposed sensitive genetic and personal data for roughly 6.4–6.9 million users and the company’s March 2025 Chapter 11 filing and asset sale to Chrome Holding, while California Attorney General Rob Bonta pursues a separate state suit alleging security failures and misleading disclosures.
