Did You Use Cash App? You Could Get $2,500 — Here’s How to Claim It!
Alright, so here’s the scoop. If you’ve been using Cash App anytime from 2018 up through 2024, there’s a chance you could get some money back—up to $2,500. Sounds pretty sweet, right?
Here’s why: some people’s Cash App accounts got hacked or had unauthorized transactions. They said Cash App didn’t do enough to keep things safe. So now, Cash App’s parent company agreed to pay $15 million to settle the lawsuit. That money is being split among folks who were hurt by this.
Do You Qualify?
You might be wondering, “Wait, do I get some of this money?” Here’s the deal:
-
You used Cash App or Cash App Investing between August 2018 and August 2024.
-
Your account was messed with—like someone else got in without your okay or money disappeared.
-
You sent in a claim by the deadline last year (November 18, 2024) with proof that it happened.
If you tick these boxes, you’re in the game.
How Much Can You Actually Get?
Here’s the good part:
-
Up to $2,500 if you lost money because of the hack or fraud, and you’ve got the receipts (like bank statements or fraud reports).
-
Even if you didn’t lose cash, you can still get paid for your time dealing with the headache—like calling support, freezing your account, or trying to fix the mess. That’s up to $75 (they count $25 an hour for up to 3 hours).
When Will the Money Show Up?
This is the tough one—there’s no exact date yet. The settlement was approved back in January 2025, but the money doesn’t magically hit your account the next day.
Why? Because they still need to double-check all the claims, and sometimes people try to fight the settlement, which slows things down. If all goes well, payments should start going out by the end of the year.
So, keep your eyes peeled around then.
