The FTC refunds come from settlements with companies that violated consumer protection laws. In 2020, the Commission’s enforcement actions led to more than $483 million in refunds to consumers nationwide.

However, in 2021 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the FTC does not have enough authority under Section 13(b)  to seek monetary relief in federal court going forward. Currently, the Commission is encouraging Congress to restore its authority to recover money for consumers.
