I was approved for a Facebook $725 million Settlement Payment!

How Payouts Are Determined

The "$725 Million" Fund: This is the total amount Meta (Facebook's parent company) agreed to pay to settle the class-action lawsuit over user privacy violations.

Net Settlement Fund: After administrative costs, lawyer fees, and any service awards to the lead plaintiffs are deducted, the remaining amount becomes the net settlement fund.

Point System: Each eligible claimant receives one "point" for each month their Facebook account was active during the class period (May 24, 2007, to December 22, 2022).

Distribution: The net settlement fund is then divided by the total number of points assigned to all eligible claimants to determine the value of each point. Your final payment is based on your total points multiplied by this value.

Examples of Payouts

Smallest Payment: $4.89, awarded to claimants with approximately 24 months of activity during the class period.

Largest Payment: $38.36, for users who had an active account for the entire 188-month class period.

Average Payment: Approximately $29.43.

Key Details

Payment Start: Payouts officially started in early September 2025 and will be issued over a 10-week period.

Notification: You should receive an email notification 3-4 days before your payment is issued.

Methods: Payments are sent via the method chosen during the claims process, including PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, direct deposit, prepaid Mastercard, or a paper check.

I was approved for a payout in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield settlement in July of 2021, still waiting for my $38 some dollars today.

I am trying to decide whether to bother filing for the ATT settlement, but not sure if I will live that long to collect.

OP, you should think about forming an LLC with the poster who recently won $5 in a Powerball drawing.

It was $8.

Disgusting. The only ones who profit are the lawyers.

BITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY!!

What a Waste of Time !

Why, you lucky bitch, OP! I could just tear your hair out.. but I guess I'd better suck up to you instead since you're now rolling in the $$$$!

I'm entered into some Blue Cross/Blue Shield thingy that I'm sure I'll never hear about again. Or was it Verizon? I kicked those assholes to the curb back in 2017 and never looked back.

I fill out a claim and submit it via the online portal for every single one of these types of settlement email announcements. I once got over $300 for a Capital One settlement. I think it was for a hacked info situation. That was years ago. Usually I get around $15-20. At the very least, it's the price of a cheap drink!

Late in 2024 I got a check for $160 from the Capital One settlement. I was really surprised. For that one, they let you send in your stories of being victimized by their data breach. I had several, and I still had evidence of some of the events. The stories were really boring but aggravating. The very short version is that I was cut off from my USAA bank accounts and the Capital One CC account for a couple days at a time on at least 3 occasions.

Then in mid 2024, they sent me another check for $720. Shocking.

^^scored!

No one likes a braggart R11.

That's nothing OP. I've got a check for $22 million on the way from a Nigerian Prince.

Denied… denied…. APPROVED

The only people who make money off of class actions are the lawyers.

R2 so am I. My amount is supposed to be four figures. Every once in while I check the website and it is still “in review”.

I got $88 for some sort of One Medical settlement. I don't even recall filling out the claim on that one.

That must be the same one I was part of R11. I got another small amount after the $380 (or whatever the amount was), probably around $90, if my memory is correct. I was surprised I got a second installment. Maybe not enough people submitted claims, so they doubled up the payouts?

Dude, buy an island. Get some migrant slaves, build a palace on the sweat of their backs.

Dubai chocolate, dude. All you want.

You won the lottery

I've been going over each claim meticulously.

My concern with doing this class action claim type-stuff is that it precludes further litigation. If Meta misused my information in damages more than $38.36 I can't seek further recompense, as I am "made whole" in the class action.

r21 that got a giggle out of me

If you have this money coming to you, you can contact JG Wentworth and get cash now.

Can we have your stuff?

I'll settle for your old stuff.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but my concern is that you'll get $40 for leaked information by signing up online and setting yourself up for more identity theft.

🎶 Call J-G WentWORTH! 877-CASH NOW!🎶

I started summer 2007 so I assume I'll get near the top amount.

I’m going to Bonanza! 🥩 🍺

Don’t spend it all in one place.

They are also the only ones who put much effort into holding corporations accountable and while we the consumers don't individually get much, still slightly better than nothing, the corporations are made to pay and that is a deterrent to their bad actions, somewhat.
