(NEXSTAR) – An estimated 100 million people may qualify for a class action lawsuit against Google.

Google, while denying any wrongdoing, previously agreed to the settlement in a lawsuit that accused the company of causing Android mobile devices to send “a variety of information” to the internet giant without the users’ permission. This, the lawsuit alleges, consumed the cellular data on those devices.

A similar lawsuit for only California residents resulted in a $350 million settlement.

To qualify for a payment, you must be a U.S. resident who used an Android device with a cellular data plan through a mobile carrier at any time since November 12, 2017.

You do not qualify if you were among the class members of the aforementioned California settlement.

Estimates suggest 100 million people may qualify for the settlement, which still requires court approval. Because settlement administrators plan to pay each qualifying member the same amount from the $135 million fund, each claimant may only receive slightly more than $1 (settlement funds are also used to pay administration costs, taxes, and other fees).

Should there be any leftover funds, the administrators say they would send payments to members who were previously paid, up to $100 per person.

To receive payment, you’ll need to use the notice ID and confirmation code you received via email to complete a payment election form online. If you fail to select your preferred payment method, administrators say they will still attempt to send you a payment, “but you run the risk of not receiving a payment … if those attempts are unsuccessful.”

If you would like not to receive a payment, you can opt out. You have until May 29 to do so.

A final approval hearing in this case is set for June 23.
