Amazon Flex drivers to receive payments in $61 million tip settlement

And now the agency is sending the settlement money to the drivers, the FTC announced Tuesday.

However, that practice ended in 2016, the FTC said.

Hundreds of drivers complained to Amazon when their earnings dropped, the FTC said.

The company agreed to settle the FTC’s lawsuit in February.

Amazon didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the FTC said the payments will go out as checks or via PayPal.
