Following the aftermath of the 2021 data breach, T-Mobile has begun distributing settlement payments to affected customers. The payments, which were delayed, are now being sent out in the form of Virtual Prepaid Mastercards or direct deposits into Zelle accounts. While some users initially expected a set amount, it appears that the payments are exceeding expectations, with some receiving $56.54 instead of the promised $25. The distribution of payments is expected to continue over the next few weeks. Customers who spent money to mitigate the breach impact were promised up to $25,000, with additional amounts for those living in California on a specified date. The higher payment amounts could be due to fewer claims than anticipated.

Users have reported receiving their payments and confirming the legitimacy of the process. The settlement website has also reassured customers that the distribution of payments is underway, with completion expected in the coming weeks. This news comes as a sigh of relief for those impacted by the breach and offers some compensation for the inconvenience caused.
