• A $135 million fund will be used to compensate affected users. The exact payout per person will depend on the total number of eligible claimants and the net fund after legal fees, which must be approved by the court.

Potential payouts can be up to $100 per person, but this is a maximum amount, not a guaranteed figure.

Eligibility

• Excludes individuals who were already part of the Csupo case in California.
