Second round of Facebook privacy settlement checks starts June 9, going to users who cashed the first payment.Summary
The article reports that a second round of payments from the $725 million Facebook privacy settlement will begin distribution on June 9, 2026, sent in batches over four weeks only to users who already cashed their initial checks; notices are emailed three to four days prior, and the court approved the redistribution of uncashed funds, as stated on the settlement website: "The second distribution was approved by the Court to redistribute uncashed funds from the initial distribution to settlement class members who successfully cashed their initial payment." The first checks were issued in September 2025, and Meta, Facebook’s parent, denies any wrongdoing, saying the settlement was reached to avoid trial costs.
