"Basically, all Facebook users who had an account on the social media platform between May 7th, 2007 and December 22nd, 2022 are entitled to the payout, as they're most likely affected by the data scandal. However, in order to receive payment, you must also assert your claim-which means you needed to join the class action and submit a claim before the August 25th, 2023 deadline."
"Now, in 2025, that settlement appears to be bearing fruit with users starting to receive payment. Currently, there are only reports from sites such as Android Authority and Android Police with users claiming to receive a settlement payment of around $38. Depending on which class action you took part in, the payout may be delayed. According to Android Authority, the distribution process will take place over the next 10 weeks."
Facebook agreed in 2019 to pay a $5 billion fine to the FTC after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. In 2022, Facebook settled a separate class-action suit, allocating $725 million to affected users. In 2025, reports indicate users who submitted claims before the August 25, 2023 deadline are beginning to receive payments, reportedly around $38 for some claimants. Eligible recipients include all Facebook account holders active between May 7, 2007 and December 22, 2022 who joined the class and submitted claims. Payout amounts vary based on claim volume and account activity duration. Distribution may take up to ten weeks and funds go to the account specified in each claim.
