The payments, which begin on Tuesday (June 9), stem from lawsuits accusing Facebook of improperly sharing user data with third-party sources, notably during the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal. The initial settlement checks were distributed in September 2025, with an average payout of about $29.43.<\/p>\n<p>According to a website dedicated to the settlement, the second round of checks will only be sent to those who cashed their initial payments. The distribution will occur over a four-week period, with notifications sent three to four days prior to payment issuance.<\/p>\n<p>NBC Chicago reports that the first payments went out in September 2025, following a settlement with Meta Platforms Inc. to avoid trial costs. The second distribution uses uncashed funds from the initial settlement, totaling around $100 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Hill notes that the second payments will be smaller, with an average of about $6. Payment methods include checks, direct deposits, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and prepaid debit cards, depending on the original claim method.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, users can visit the settlement website. Anyone needing assistance with their payment status can contact the settlement administrator.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/650keni.iheart.com\/content\/2026-06-08-second-facebook-settlement-payment-on-the-way\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second Facebook Settlement Payment On The Way https:\/\/650keni.iheart.com\/content\/2026-06-08-second-facebook-settlement-payment-on-the-way\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-08 06:20:00 Source Domain: 650keni.iheart.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":267202,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i.iheart.com\/v3\/re\/assets.getty\/6a269875e8f0234de55b2f43?ops=gravity(%22north%22),fit(1200,675),quality(65)","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-267201","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\/267201"}],"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=267201"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":267204,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267201\/revisions\/267204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
