Still Waiting on Your Facebook $725M Settlement Payment? Here’s How to Track It Online

Thousands of Facebook users across the U.S. are still waiting for their data privacy settlement payments from Meta’s $725 million class action case.

The settlement compensates users whose personal information was improperly shared between May 2007 and December 2022, as long as they filed a valid claim before August 25, 2023.

Why Facebook Is Sending These Payments

The payment stems from a class action lawsuit against Meta over alleged misuse of user data.

Each user’s payout depends on:

• How long they had an active Facebook account between 2007 and 2022

• The total number of valid claims submitted

On average, payments range from $25 to $40, though some users may receive more.
