If you’ve ever held a subscription to YouTube TV or DirecTV anytime after April 1, 2014, read on.

Disney agreed to pay out $50 million in an antitrust settlement. The lawsuit claimed the entertainment giant forced streaming services to hike prices by bundling costly channels like ESPN and Hulu. Now, subscribers get a slice of the pie.
The amount isn’t life-changing. It’s usually less than $30 per person. But if you qualified? Free money is free money.
