# Roundup Settlement 2026: Eligibility, Payouts, and the June 4 Opt-Out Deadline You Can't Miss

> **Quick answer:** Bayer's $7.25 billion Roundup settlement has received preliminary court approval and covers people exposed to glyphosate in the U.S. who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Payouts range from roughly $10,000 to $165,000 depending on your exposure type and age at diagnosis. The deadline to opt out of the settlement — or to object — is June 4, 2026. Final approval is scheduled for a July 9 hearing. If you used Roundup and were diagnosed with NHL, time is running out.

The Roundup settlement 2026 is one of the largest toxic-exposure agreements in American history — and most people affected by it have no idea they are part of it. A Missouri judge granted preliminary approval to Bayer's $7.25 billion proposal on May 4, 2026, setting in motion a 31-day countdown for anyone who wants to preserve their right to pursue their own lawsuit.

## What Is the Roundup Settlement and Why Did It Happen Now?

Bayer AG, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, has been fighting Roundup lawsuits since a landmark 2018 trial in which a school groundskeeper named Dewayne Johnson won $289 million after a jury found that Roundup's active ingredient — glyphosate — caused his non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The company has since paid out more than $11 billion to resolve over 100,000 claims, with jury verdicts totaling more than $8 billion across 24 trials.
