I believe that was the biometric data lawsuit? If so, I was a member of that settlement and while the initial promise was as high as $395 (that’s what made the news), the actual checks people got were much smaller - I just found a picture of mine - $30.61

There were two checks the first one was $397 and then I think they had some left over so everyone that got the first one also got $30.61

There have been at least two separate Facebook settlements (so far). The most recent one was indeed $30.61. The one from a year or two ago was (edit) $397, as another poster said.
