What the administrator says
The FTC first sent payments in November 2024, which resulted in more than $9.8 million in refunds. Because there is still money remaining in the fund, the FTC is sending 1,052,038 payments totaling more than $6.8 million to people who accepted their first payment.
What would change this
- The administrator posts a second round, a reissue date, or a deadline to cash checks.
- A court order changes the amount or the schedule.
How we’ll update
We change the status only when the administrator makes a statement or the court issues an order. We look at the official site and the court docket regularly. Every change is dated in the update log on the settlement page. Last change: Nov 4, 2026.

Questions
Is this settlement legitimate?
The administrator is Federal Trade Commission, and the official site is www.ftc.gov. Real notices point there; if a link in a message goes anywhere else, do not use it.
The official site never asks you to pay to file.
Who is covered?
Who is covered: no state limit is stated; the class is defined by who was affected, not by where you live.
