The compensation will be distributed in batches over the next four weeks, but you have to meet specific requirements to be eligible for it.<\/p>\n<p>According to CBS News, the claims administrator has started notifying eligible claimants via email about the second round of settlement payments. The additional distribution was approved by a California federal court and will be funded via uncashed checks, expired digital payments, and money remaining after legal fees and administrative expenses were deducted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; states an email sent to Facebook users by the settlement administrator which was seen by CBS News.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is eligible for the second payment?<\/h2>\n<p>As per the settlement website, the second round of payouts will only be available to those people who successfully cashed their first check or accepted their initial digital payment. Those who missed the original claim deadline in 2023 are not eligible to apply or receive payment in this round.<\/p>\n<p>The settlement applies to Facebook users in the United States who maintained an active account between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, and submitted a valid claim before the August 25, 2023 deadline. Since the claims window has already closed, no new applications can be submitted.<\/p>\n<p>According to the settlement website, approximately 15.7 million claimants are expected to qualify for the second round of payout. If you are eligible as per the criteria mentioned above, then no further action is required. You will received an email before the payment is sent.<\/p>\n<h2>How much will you get in the second payment?<\/h2>\n<p>The settlement website doesn&#8217;t disclose the amount. But since the distribution is based on unclaimed funds from the first round, it&#8217;s&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/money\/facebook-privacy-settlement-second-round-of-payouts-to-begin-from-june-9-check-eligibility-and-amount-11780745447833.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook privacy settlement: Second round of payouts to begin from June 9 \u2014 Check eligibility&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":265766,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/lm-img\/img\/2026\/06\/06\/1600x900\/logo\/im-77028189_1773932821792_1780746512075_a5167326-db7f-44b7-9ea7-70c90b450ff8.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-265765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265765"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265765"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":265767,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265765\/revisions\/265767"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
