You could be owed some cash if you are a U.S. resident who used Google search between Oct. 26, 2006 and Sept. 30, 2013. The potential payout is the result of a class-action lawsuit that alleges Google improperly shared users' search queries and histories with third-party websites and companies.

A Cook County judge in September of last year gave final approval of the $100 million settlement, more than three months after the agreement was reached between the plaintiffs and Google.

Anyone who used Google to search and clicked on a link in its search results between Oct. 25, 2006 and Sept. 30, 2013 can now collect part of a $23 million settlement, as long as they submit a claim within the next six weeks.

Those who are owed settlement payments electronically are set to receive it in one of five ways, the settlement administrator says: through either Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, digital MasterCard or direct deposit.

Anyone who clicked on a Google search result link from October 2006 to September 2013 is entitled to a piece — however small — of a $23 million settlement that the tech giant has agreed to pay to resolve a class-action lawsuit. The settlement's administrators set up a website for people to submit claims.

Claimants who submitted a valid claim can now expect to receive their payments. Electronic deposits have already commenced, while those who opted for a paper check should allow up to two weeks for delivery. Each claimant will receive an approximate payment of $95 as part of the settlement.

Then you submit a claim by providing your new ID number and other contact information. Money also notes that applicants could get an average of $7.70 per claim, owing to the massive number of potential claimants and the relatively smaller settlement size.
