Equifax will pay $700 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2017 data breach that exposed the private information of nearly 150 million people. Were you one of them? Tonya J Powers tells Jeff how you can find out and - if you were impacted - how you can get part of that settlement. The money is NOT available immediately...but you should be ready should you have money coming!
The other part of the settlement not mentioned in the interview is the money that will go to state governments. Iowa will get over $1.3 million. The money will go into the Consumer Education and Litigation Fund overseen by the Iowa Attorney General's Office.
