I received a request from HR which is asking me acknowledge the receipt of Employee Handbook. The email also talks about acknowledging Employment Arbitration Policy & that nothing in the handbook is intended to constitute a waiver of your or company’s rights to compel arbitration of employment relate disputes”. What does this mean? I am in the middle of applying to FAML. Not sure if this can have anything to do with that?

It’s pretty standard.
States you waive the right the sue & resolve issue outside of court.
Might want to read in full. Some state that if you don’t sign but don’t send something in writing to HR/company, it’s the same as signing/acceptance.

Oh got it. I didn’t receive it during my onboarding about a year ago

I don't think it has anything to do with it. I think it has more to do with the cases you want to sue the company. To be safe, I would send an email requesting clarification.

Its probably just bad timing to be honest. Because I doubt they sent that to elicite some sort of response. I would just put everything in writing like everyone said above.

Agree - standard. I wouldn't worry too much about it, but you can always clarify with the HR Manager.
