Received a $36.29 Direct Deposit from Facebook? Here’s What You Need to Know
Many individuals have reported receiving unexpected $36.29 direct deposits from Facebook, sparking curiosity and questions about the origin and purpose of the payment. The deposits are part of a settlement payout in a class-action lawsuit against Facebook’s parent company, Meta.
The lawsuit alleged that Facebook violated user privacy by improperly sharing data. Those who filed claims as part of the settlement are now receiving their share of the $725 million settlement fund.
Recipients who find the deposit in their accounts should note that it is legitimate, provided they filed a claim earlier this year. The payment might appear with a descriptor like “Meta Settlement” or similar wording.
If you’re unsure why you received the deposit, check your email for confirmation messages or revisit the settlement website for more details. Those who did not file claims by the deadline are not eligible for this payout.
For further assistance, claimants can contact the settlement administrator listed on the official website.
