Facebook settlement second payment notices are going out to some eligible users as a new Meta privacy settlement distribution begins Tuesday, June 9, 2026.

The second round is not for every Facebook user who filed a claim. It applies only to settlement class members who successfully cashed their first payment from the Facebook, Inc. Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation settlement.

Facebook Settlement Second Payment Begins June 9

According to the settlement website, the court approved a second distribution to redistribute money left from uncashed first-round payments. The payments are expected to be issued in batches over about four weeks.

Eligible users should watch their email for a notice from the settlement administrator. Notices are expected three to four days before the additional payment is issued, so payment timing may vary by recipient.

Who Is Eligible for the Second Meta Privacy Settlement Check?

The key eligibility detail is simple: users must have successfully cashed their initial settlement payment. People who received a first payment but did not cash it are not described as eligible for this second distribution under the settlement notice.

The first round of payments was sent in September 2025. The second round is being funded by money that remained after some checks or digital payments from the first distribution were not completed.

Why Facebook Users Are Receiving Another Payment

The settlement followed lawsuits alleging Facebook allowed user data to be made available to third parties without proper permission and did not adequately monitor how that data was used. Meta, Facebook’s parent company, denies wrongdoing and denies violating any law.

For users, the practical question is eligibility rather than filing a new claim. The claims period has already passed, and the second payment is limited to eligible class members tied to the first payout. Users who believe they qualify should check email notices from the settlement administrator and confirm details through the official settlement website.

The new round matters because it gives some Facebook users an additional payment from remaining settlement funds, but the narrower eligibility rules mean many people from the original case may not receive another check.
