Hey, free money.  I think my logon to check my account data was my first logon since 2017 and maybe my fifth overall.

If you don't have an American bank account, it's 25$ check with 20$ deposit fees and 10$ conversion fees. ;)

I don't know how much indidivually.

These settlements are usually 10-20$ per people.

I actually qualify, but I guess it's not worth the hassle.

Yeah, when it's a Canadian thing, I apply for me and my dad, but with US stuff, I learnt the hard way that there's nothing left once I factored in the conversion fees.  No point lying to get myself some 20-25$ that I can't even cash.

If people don't claim, does FB keep it, or do other people get more?

Can you give them the account details of a charity?

The settlement funds will be divided between claimants based on the number of years within that time span that they had an account.  The fewer the claimants who bother to claim, the more money for those who do.
