Some Facebook users may soon receive a second payout tied to parent company Meta’s\u00a0$725 million privacy settlement<\/span>, according to the claims administrator and an email sent to eligible claimants.<\/p>\n

The payment stems from a settlement of multiple lawsuits against Facebook by users who claimed the social media network improperly shared their information with third-party sources, such as advertisers and data brokers. The lawsuits were sparked by Facebook’s 2018 privacy scandal involving Cambridge Analytica, which\u00a0scraped user data<\/span>\u00a0from the site to profile voters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meta has denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement.<\/p>\n

The first settlement payments were sent to Facebook users<\/span> in September 2025, with a court filing stating that the average payment amount was $29.43. Payments were based on factors including how long someone used Facebook during the 15-year period covered by the settlement and the number of people who filed claims.<\/p>\n

Here’s what to know about the second payments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why is there a second Facebook payment?<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0settlement website says the court approved a second distribution using funds from uncashed payments from the first round of payouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those funds were returned to the settlement administrator and are now being redistributed to claimants who successfully cashed their original payment.<\/p>\n

Will I be alerted about another payment?<\/h2>\n

Yes, the claims administrator is sending emails to alert people who qualify for the second payment. The subject line of the email is: “Facebook User Privacy Settlement \u2013 Settlement and Second Distribution Status Update.”<\/p>\n

If you’re not sure whether you are receiving a second payment, you can email the settlement administrator at\u00a0info@facebookuserprivacysettlement.com. Make sure to include your claim ID.<\/p>\n

When will the second payment be issued?<\/h2>\n

The Facebook settlement website says distribution of the second payments will begin on June 9 and continue for four weeks.<\/p>\n

“You will receive an additional email notice approximately 3-4 days before your additional settlement payment is issued. Please continue to check your email during this time period,” states an email sent to Facebook users by the settlement administrator.<\/p>\n

How much will I get in the second payment?<\/h2>\n

The settlement website doesn’t disclose the amount. But since the distribution is based on unclaimed funds from the first round, it’s likely to be smaller than the initial $29.43 payment.<\/p>\n
