Some Cash App users could soon get money from a $15 million settlement over a data breach.

Payments are expected to go out sometime this month to users who filed a claim before the deadline two years ago, according to the settlement website, the New York Post reported.

The class-action lawsuit was filed in 2022. It said a 2021 breach led to the "unauthorized public release of the personally identifiable information of 8.2 million current and former Cash App Investing customers."

The lawsuit claimed Cash App and its parent company, Block Inc., were negligent. It said a former Cash App Investing employee accessed account data without permission, FOX 29 reported. The companies and the plaintiffs agreed to settle in March 2024. Neither company admitted breaking the law.

Under the deal, eligible users can get up to $2,500 for out-of-pocket losses. Users who had unauthorized or fraudulent withdrawals or transfers may also be reimbursed. The $15 million total also covers legal fees and the cost of running the settlement.

The case is called Salinas, et al. v. Block, Inc. and Cash App Investing, LLC.

Only people who filed a valid claim will get money. If you filed, watch for a payment in the method you chose on your claim form, such as Cash App, a check or another digital option. The settlement website has updates.

Data breach settlements often take years to pay out because of court approvals and appeals. Payments can also be smaller than the maximum if many people file claims.

Cash App is one of the most popular payment apps in the U.S.
