Some Facebook Users May Soon Get a Second Settlement Payment. Here's What to Know
Only users who cashed their first payment will receive the new checks, which begin going out June 9 and continue in batches for about four weeks.
- On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the Facebook User Privacy Settlement Administrator will begin issuing second bonus payments to approximately 15.7 million eligible users over a four-week period.
- A U.S. District Court in California ordered the distribution to redistribute about $100 million in uncashed funds from the initial settlement, making only those who successfully cashed their first check eligible for the bonus.
- Recipients will receive an email notice three to four days before payment arrives; the administrator estimates individual bonus amounts will range from $4.67 to $7.32.
- The payouts stem from a $725 million settlement resolving 2018 Cambridge Analytica privacy lawsuits; Meta Platforms Inc. settled to avoid trial costs while denying wrongdoing.
- Anyone uncertain about payment status can contact the settlement administrator directly; payments continue for approximately one month from the June 9 start date.
