Go to the Official Site

📬 If You Never Got the Email (Do This First)

1. Check Spam/Junk/Promotions. Search for “Facebook User Privacy Settlement – Payment Notice” from donotreply@facebookuserprivacysettlement.com.
2. Search all inboxes. Type Facebook User Privacy Settlement into your mail search bar.
3. Contact the Administrator. Use the site’s Contact form. Provide:
   • Your full name
   • The email & mailing address used on the claim
   • Approximate filing date (if known)

Good news: If your payment bounced (closed wallet/bank), it is usually reissued—often by check—after it returns to the administrator.

🔄 Why Your Money Might Be Delayed

• Closed/limited PayPal or Venmo. Payment bounces back; ask for reissue (check or alternate method).
• Bank rejection (ACH). Closed account or mismatch triggers return; request reissue.
• Expired digital links. Some prepaid card links time-out; contact support to resend.
• Old email address. If it’s a closed school/work inbox, ask to update your contact email and resend.

🗓️ What to Expect Next

Payments are rolling out in weekly waves through fall 2025. If you received a notice, funds often arrive within 3–4 business days (checks can take longer). If nothing shows up within 30 days of your notice, contact the administrator.

Scam Shield: The real administrator will never ask for your Social Security number or a “release fee.” Only trust messages from the official domain and website.

How Payouts Are Calculated

Amounts vary by how long you had an active account from May 2007 to December 2022. Each month counts as a point; your share = your points ÷ total approved points × net fund.

• User A (2007–2022): Highest points → often $45–$50.
• User B (2019–2021): Fewer points → often $10–$15.

Payment Methods & Order

Electronic options (PayPal, Venmo, Zelle) tend to land first, followed by ACH/bank, then prepaid cards and paper checks.

Delivery order can vary per batch and provider.

🧭 Step-by-Step Fixes for Common Problems

• PayPal/Venmo account closed: Confirm with the provider if funds were rejected → request reissue from administrator (prefer paper check if wallets are blocked).
• Payment shows “completed,” no money: Provider may have flagged/held it. Contact provider first, then ask administrator to trace or reissue.
• Need to switch method: After a failure/return, many claims can be reissued by check. Ask support for options.
• Moved after filing: Send old & new addresses to update before checks/cards are mailed.
• Name changed: Provide documentation (marriage cert, court order) to reissue under current legal name.
• Lost/expired prepaid e-Mastercard: Request replacement or renewed link; include original issue date.
• Duplicate claim flagged: Ask support to keep the valid one on file and withdraw duplicates.
• No confirmation number? Support can locate your claim using name + address + email used.
