- Did you reside in the United States at any time between May 24, 2007 and December 22, 2022, inclusive?
- Were you a Facebook user at any time between May 24, 2007 and December 22, 2022?
- Are you filing a claim for a current account, a deleted account or a combination of both?
Step 3) Add a method for receiving payment. Options include PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Mastercard, and Direct Deposit.
Step 4) Sign.
How much money will I get?
According to the Settlement's FAQ, it depends on how many Settlement Class Members submit valid claims and how long you were a user on Facebook during the Class Period.
For each month that you had an activated Facebook account, you'll receive one point, and those points will be multiplied to add up to your settlement amount. $750 million is a lot of money, but Facebook also has a lot of users.
It could be less than $1 or it could be $100. We just don't know right now.
What happens if I do nothing? Something
If you do not take part in this claim, and effectively "Do Nothing," you are still automatically part of the Settlement. But if you do nothing, you won't receive a payment and you give up the right to sue, continue to sue, or be part of another lawsuit against Facebook that's related to this suit.
