A second round of payments is coming for some Facebook users under a $725 million privacy class-action settlement involving Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
The case was about claims that Facebook shared users’ private data with thousands of third parties like advertisers and data brokers.
The first round of payments started going out in September 2025 to eligible users, with average users receiving about $29 to $30 depending on usage and claim details.
Now a second payment is being issued because some money from uncashed first-round checks was returned and is being redistributed.
This second distribution is only for people who already filed a claim before the deadline of August 25, 2023.
If the user got the first payment then they will be automatically qualified for the second one they do not need to apply again.
The second payment is expected to be small, roughly around $5 to $7, since it comes from leftover funds.
Predicted Payment Date: June 9, 2026
Eligible users will receive email alerts 3 to 4 days before payment, with a subject line about the “Facebook User Privacy Settlement – Second Distribution.”
