when will facebook settlement checks be mailed

Facebook settlement checks began being mailed in early September 2025 and will continue to be sent out in batches over approximately 10 weeks. Approved claimants receive an email 3 to 4 days before their payment is issued, which can come as a check, direct deposit, PayPal, or prepaid Mastercard, depending on the selected payment method. The average payout is expected to be around $30, varying by how long the user had an active Facebook account between May 2007 and December 2022.
