How much do residential Roundup users get?

Residential Roundup users — people who used it in their yard, garden, or driveway — can receive $20,000 to $40,000 depending on age and NHL subtype. With the 120% adjustment, the maximum residential payout is approximately $48,000. Residential claimants only need a sworn statement to prove exposure. No receipts or documents are required.

How much do occupational Roundup users get?

Occupational users — farmers, landscapers, groundskeepers, and other workers who handled Roundup for more than 80 hours on the job — can receive $60,000 to $165,000 depending on age and NHL subtype. With the 120% adjustment, the maximum occupational payout is approximately $198,000. Occupational claimants need documentary proof such as employment records or tax filings.

What is the Roundup Quick-Pay option?

Quick-Pay offers faster, reduced payments of $6,000 to $14,500 for residential claimants and claimants diagnosed at age 78 or older. It is only available to people who filed a Roundup lawsuit or tolling agreement before February 13, 2026. Accepting Quick-Pay means you cannot receive a standard program award.

Do I need a cancer diagnosis to get a Roundup payout?

No. The settlement covers two groups: people already diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Subclass 1) and people who used Roundup but have not been diagnosed yet (Subclass 2). Subclass 2 members are part of the class now but can only file a claim for payment if they develop NHL in the future.

Can I get more money from an individual Roundup lawsuit instead?

Possibly. Individual Roundup lawsuits have produced jury awards of $289 million, $332 million, and $2.1 billion — far more than the class settlement tiers. However, individual lawsuits carry risk, take longer, and were affected by the Supreme Court's June 25, 2026 ruling in Monsanto v. Durnell, which held that federal law preempts state failure-to-warn claims. A free case review can help you decide which path is right for you.

What is the difference between aggressive and indolent NHL?

Aggressive NHL subtypes grow quickly and include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma, and Burkitt lymphoma. They receive higher settlement payouts. Indolent NHL subtypes grow slowly and include follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). They receive lower payouts. Your subtype is determined by your medical records.

What factors increase or decrease my Roundup payout?

Factors that increase your award include younger age at diagnosis, strong proof of exposure such as photos or receipts, longer duration of exposure, intensive treatment like chemotherapy or radiation, Stage IV diagnosis, and diagnosis occurring 5 to 15 years after exposure. Factors that decrease your award include older age, weaker proof of exposure, prior organ transplant, prior blood cancer, or immunosuppressant use.

How much do Roundup lawyers take from my settlement?

Under the settlement terms, attorney fees for individual representation are capped at 22% of the claimant's award. You do not need a lawyer to file a claim, but having one can help maximize your payout and handle the paperwork.

Roundup Settlement Payout: How Much Can You Potentially Get?

Q: How much will I get from the Roundup settlement?

Under the $7.25 billion settlement, individual payouts range from $10,000 to $165,000. Your amount depends on three factors: whether you used Roundup for work (occupational) or at home (residential), your age when you were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and whether your NHL subtype is aggressive or indolent. Awards can be adjusted up to 120% of the tier average, making the maximum standard payout approximately $198,000.

Q: When will Roundup settlement checks be mailed?

The court granted preliminary approval on March 4, 2026, and the fairness hearing is set for August 19, 2026 (rescheduled from July 9). The first $500 million was due within 10 business days of preliminary approval, and a second $500 million payment is due by August 31, 2026. Individual checks are sent after final approval, once claims are processed by the administrator BrownGreer PLC. The full $7.25 billion will be paid over 17 to 21 years.

The Short Answer

If you used Roundup weed killer and were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, you could receive between $10,000 and $165,000 from the $7.25 billion Bayer settlement filed on February 17, 2026. With adjustments, the maximum standard payout is approximately $198,000. A Quick-Pay option pays $6,000 to $14,500 for faster processing.

You do not need a cancer diagnosis to be part of this settlement. If you used Roundup but have not gotten sick, you are still included. You can file a claim later if you are ever diagnosed with NHL.

Your exact payout depends on three things: whether you used Roundup at work or at home, your age when you were diagnosed, and whether your cancer subtype is aggressive or slow-growing.

Roundup Settlement Payout Per Person: Full Tier Breakdown

The settlement divides claimants into 9 tiers. Every tier has an average award that can be adjusted between 80% and 120% depending on the strength of your individual claim.

Exposure	Age at Diagnosis	NHL Type	Average Payout	Range (80%-120%)
Roundup Settlement Payout Tiers
Occupational	Under 60	Aggressive	$165,000	$132,000 – $198,000
Occupational	60 to 77	Aggressive	$105,000	$84,000 – $126,000
Occupational	Under 60	Indolent	$85,000	$68,000 – $102,000
Occupational	60 to 77	Indolent	$60,000	$48,000 – $72,000
Residential	Under 60	Aggressive	$40,000	$32,000 – $48,000
Residential	60 to 77	Aggressive	$30,000	$24,000 – $36,000
Residential	Under 60	Indolent	$25,000	$20,000 – $30,000
Residential	60 to 77	Indolent	$20,000	$16,000 – $24,000
Any	78 or older	Any	$10,000	$8,000 – $12,000

What Increases Your Roundup Payout

Within each tier, your individual award can be pushed toward the top of the range (up to 120%) based on several factors. These include younger age at diagnosis, strong proof of exposure such as photographs, purchase receipts, or work orders, longer duration and higher frequency of Roundup use, more intensive treatment including chemotherapy, radiation, or stem cell transplant, a Stage IV diagnosis, and diagnosis occurring 5 to 15 years after the exposure window. The stronger your documentation, the higher your payout within your tier.

What Decreases Your Roundup Payout

Certain factors can push your award toward the bottom of the range (down to 80%). These include older age at diagnosis, weaker proof of exposure, an AIDS diagnosis, prior organ transplant, prior blood cancer or lymphoma, long-term use of immunosuppressant medications, prior Hepatitis C or Epstein-Barr virus infection (for certain NHL subtypes), and other medical explanations that could account for your cancer. These are called alternative causation factors.

Occupational vs. Residential: How to Tell Which You Are

This is the biggest factor in your payout. The difference between occupational and residential can mean $125,000 or more in your settlement check.

You are an occupational claimant if you were exposed to Roundup for more than 80 hours while working in agriculture, landscaping, turf management, grounds maintenance, highway maintenance, or any industrial or ornamental capacity, and you earned more than 50% of your income or more than $15,000 from that job in at least one year. You will need to provide documentary evidence like employment records, payroll stubs, business licenses, W-2s, or tax returns.

You are a residential claimant if you used Roundup at home — spraying your yard, driveway, garden, patio, sidewalk, fence line, or anywhere around your property. You need at least 16 hours of total exposure or 10 lifetime days. No documents are required. Your sworn statement under oath is enough.

If you are not sure which category you fall into, a free case review can help you figure it out.

Roundup Quick-Pay Option: $6,000 to $14,500

If you would rather get money faster instead of waiting for the full claims process, the settlement offers a Quick-Pay option. Quick-Pay pays less money but processes faster.

Who Qualifies	Quick-Pay Amount
Roundup Quick-Pay Amounts
Residential, Under 60, Aggressive NHL	$14,500
Residential, 60-77, Aggressive NHL	$11,000
Residential, Under 60, Indolent NHL	$9,500
Residential, 60-77, Indolent NHL	$7,500
Any exposure, Age 78+	$6,000

Quick-Pay is only available to people who already filed a Roundup lawsuit or tolling agreement before February 13, 2026. If you accept Quick-Pay, you cannot also receive a standard program award.

Extra Money: Extraordinary Circumstances Fund

On top of your tier payout, you may qualify for additional compensation through special funds built into the settlement:

The Extraordinary Circumstances Fund provides extra payments for claimants who experienced death before age 78, organ transplant, CAR-T therapy, intrathecal chemotherapy, or Stage IV diagnosis. This fund receives up to 5% of each annual payment from Monsanto.

The Extraordinary Residential Exposure Fund provides extra money for residential claimants who had unusually heavy exposure — defined as 80 or more hours of use on properties totaling 6 or more acres. This fund receives 1.5% of each annual payment. You will need documentary proof for this one.

Exigency Awards are available even before the settlement becomes final for claimants who face imminent housing loss or who have a terminal condition. These awards are funded at up to $20 million per year for the first 3 years.

Pre-Qualify

Aggressive vs. Indolent NHL: Which Do I Have?

Your NHL subtype is the second-biggest factor in your payout after occupational vs. residential. Your medical records will show which type you have.

Aggressive NHL grows fast and requires immediate treatment. The most common aggressive subtype is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which accounts for about 30% of all NHL diagnoses. Other aggressive subtypes include mantle cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, and peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Aggressive NHL receives higher payouts under the settlement.

Indolent NHL grows slowly and may not require immediate treatment. The most common indolent subtype is follicular lymphoma, the second-most common form of NHL overall. Other indolent subtypes include chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Indolent NHL receives lower payouts, but these cancers can transform into aggressive forms over time. If your indolent NHL has transformed, talk to a lawyer about how that affects your tier placement.

Could I Get More From an Individual Lawsuit?

Yes, potentially much more. The class settlement caps payouts at approximately $198,000. But juries have awarded individual Roundup plaintiffs far more:

• $289 million — Dewayne Johnson, school groundskeeper, California (2018)
• $80 million — Edwin Hardeman, federal trial (2019)
• $2 billion — Alva and Alberta Pilliod, married couple, California (2019)
• $332 million — single plaintiff, California (2023)
• $175 million — Pennsylvania (2025)
• $2.25 billion — consolidated verdict (2025)
• $2.1 billion — Georgia (2025)

The tradeoff is risk. Individual lawsuits take longer, cost more in legal fees, and carry no guarantee of winning. Bayer has won many of the Roundup trials it has taken to verdict. And on June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court decided Monsanto v. Durnell 7–2 for Monsanto, holding that federal law (FIFRA) preempts state failure-to-warn claims — a ruling that limits many state-level Roundup lawsuits going forward.

The settlement guarantees payment regardless of the Supreme Court outcome. That is why many attorneys are recommending participation.

A free case review can help you decide which path is right — the settlement, an individual lawsuit, or both.

When Will Roundup Settlement Checks Be Mailed?

The court granted preliminary approval on March 4, 2026, with the fairness hearing set for August 19, 2026. The payment schedule works like this:

• $500 million deposited within 10 business days of preliminary approval
• $500 million deposited by August 31, 2026
• The remaining $6.25 billion paid over 16 annual installments ranging from $550 million to $250 million per year
• Inflation adjustment of up to 2.5% per year starting in year 5

Individual settlement checks will be sent after BrownGreer PLC (the claims administrator) processes and scores your claim. How fast you get paid depends on when the court approves the settlement, how quickly you submit your claim, and whether you choose the standard program or Quick-Pay option.

How Much Do Roundup Lawyers Take?

Under the settlement, attorney fees for individual representation are capped at 22% of your award. That means if your payout is $100,000, your attorney can take a maximum of $22,000 and you keep $78,000. You do not pay anything upfront. Most Roundup attorneys work on contingency, meaning they only get paid if you get paid.

You are not required to have a lawyer to file a claim, but having one can help you get placed in the right tier, gather the right documentation, and maximize your 80%-to-120% adjustment.

Who Qualifies for the Roundup Settlement?

Anyone in the United States who was exposed to Roundup before February 17, 2026. You qualify if you applied Roundup yourself, purchased it, directed its application, or were otherwise exposed. This includes all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, and U.S. territories. Immigration status does not affect eligibility.

The class is divided into two subclasses:

Subclass 1 — Already Diagnosed: If you already have non-Hodgkin lymphoma, register within 180 days of final approval and submit your claim within 180 days of the effective date.

Subclass 2 — Not Yet Diagnosed: If you used Roundup but have not been diagnosed with NHL, you are automatically part of the class. You do not need to do anything now. If you are diagnosed in the future, file within 6 years of your diagnosis or before the 16th Annual Payment Date. If you are never diagnosed, all your legal rights are restored.

Spouses, parents, dependent children, legal representatives, executors, and administrators acting on behalf of deceased or incapacitated family members can also file claims.

What Proof Do I Need?

It depends on your exposure type:

Occupational claimants need documentary evidence proving they worked with Roundup. Acceptable proof includes employment records, payroll stubs, W-2s, tax returns, business licenses, coworker statements, or employer records.

Residential claimants do not need any documents. A sworn statement under oath confirming that you used Roundup at home for at least 16 hours or 10 lifetime days is sufficient. This is called attestation-only proof.

All claimants need medical records confirming a non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis, including the specific NHL subtype (aggressive or indolent) and age at diagnosis. Your oncologist's records will have this information.

Why Timing Matters: Trump Executive Order and Supreme Court

On February 18, 2026 — one day after the settlement was filed — President Trump signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to increase domestic glyphosate production. The order called glyphosate essential to national security and provided Bayer with a liability shield. Bayer donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration.

The U.S. Solicitor General also filed a brief at the Supreme Court backing Bayer's argument that federal pesticide labeling law should shield the company from state failure-to-warn claims. The Court heard argument in Monsanto v. Durnell on April 27, 2026 and, on June 25, 2026, ruled 7–2 for Monsanto that FIFRA preempts those state claims.

Now that the Supreme Court has sided with Bayer, people who opted out of the settlement to pursue their own state failure-to-warn lawsuits may find those claims barred, while people who stayed in the settlement get paid regardless. This is a central reason attorneys are recommending participation.

Should I stay in the settlement or opt out and file my own lawsuit?

Individual lawsuits have produced jury awards of up to $2.1 billion — far more than the settlement tiers. But they carry risk, especially after the Supreme Court's June 25, 2026 ruling in Monsanto v. Durnell. A free case review can help you decide.

What did the Supreme Court decide in Monsanto v. Durnell?

On June 25, 2026, the Court ruled 7–2 for Monsanto that federal law (FIFRA) preempts state failure-to-warn claims based on Roundup's EPA-approved label. If you are in the settlement class, you get paid regardless. If you opted out, a state failure-to-warn lawsuit may now be barred. This is a main reason attorneys recommend staying in the settlement.

Does immigration status matter?

No. The settlement covers all persons exposed to Roundup in the United States regardless of citizenship or immigration status.

Can I file for a deceased family member?

Yes. Executors, administrators, and legal representatives can file on behalf of deceased or incapacitated family members. Spouses, parents, and dependent children are also included.
