Remember that massive $725 MILLION Facebook privacy settlement?
Well, apparently there were some coins left in the couch cushions. š
A second distribution of settlement paymentsĀ was approved after millions of dollars from the original payout went unclaimed or weren't successfully cashed. The remaining money is being redistributed to certain people who already qualified for the original settlement.
And before everybody who has ever liked a Facebook post starts yelling...
āWHERE MY CHECK AT?!ā
ššš
There's a catch.
š° WHO GETS THIS SECOND PAYMENT?
This is NOT a brand-new settlement claim.
You generally qualify for the additional payment only if you:
Filed an approved claim in the original Facebook privacy settlement AND successfully received/cashed your first settlement payment.Ā
So if you never filed the original claim by the August 25, 2023 deadline, unfortunately you cannot jump into the settlement now.
THE CLAIMS WINDOW IS CLOSED.
No new application.
No āI just heard about it on 730 BOOM, let me slide in there.ā
Facebook said ACCESS DENIED.Ā š
šµ WHY ARE THEY PAYING PEOPLE AGAIN?
Here's where it gets interesting.
Money was left over because some of the original settlement payments were never cashed or redeemed.
Instead of letting that money sit there looking lonely, the court approved another distribution on May 6, 2026Ā to eligible class members who successfully cashed their first payments.
The second distribution began in June 2026.
So some eligible people have already received another payment or an email notifying them that one is coming.
š NOW DON'T GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT THE AMOUNT
Because I know somebody just read:
$725 MILLION
and mentally paid off their mortgage.
Come back. š
Reports indicate these additional payments are only a few dollars for many recipients, with amounts varying based on the settlement's allocation formula.
So this ain't:
āQUIT YOUR JOB MONEY.ā
This is more like:
āWELL... LUNCH ON FACEBOOK TODAY.āĀ š
But listen...
Money is money.
If Mark Zuckerberg owes me $6.43, I want my SIX DOLLARS AND FORTY-THREE CENTS.
Don't play with me, Mark. š
š“ LADY RED SAYS...
Now THIS is the kind of surprise email I don't mind opening.
Not:
āSomeone attempted to log into your account.ā
Not:
āYour password was changed.ā
Not:
āYou've been selected for Facebook Dating.ā
ššš
I want:
āWE ARE SENDING YOU MORE MONEY.ā
Now THAT notification can come through anytime.
šØ CHECK BEFORE YOU DELETE THAT EMAIL
Eligible recipients should watch the email address associated with their original settlement claim. Notices about additional payments have been sent to some qualifying claimants.
And please...
DON'T CLICK RANDOM FACEBOOK SETTLEMENT LINKS.
There is an actual court-authorized settlement website where you can check official information about the case.
If you're unsure about your original claim, the settlement administrator says you can contact them with your Claim ID.
š„ BOTTOM LINE
If you filed the original Facebook privacy settlement claim, were approved, AND successfully received your first payment, check your email and payment method.
There may be another little Facebook deposit with your name on it.
It might not change your tax bracket...
BUT WE AIN'T LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE EITHER. ššµ
