    For a paid Microsoft 365 Family subscription that is missing, the subscription status and billing must be checked directly on the Microsoft account, and then support contacted if it still does not appear.

    1. Verify the subscription exists and is active
      • Go to the Microsoft account dashboard for subscriptions: https://account.microsoft.com/services
      • Sign in with the same personal Microsoft account that was used to purchase Microsoft 365 Family.
      • Under Subscriptions/Services, check if “Microsoft 365 Family” (or another Microsoft 365 subscription) appears and that it shows as active (not expired or canceled).
    2. If the subscription does not appear
      • Confirm that the correct Microsoft account is being used (many people have more than one account).
      • If the subscription was purchased through a third party (for example, a retailer, Apple, Google, etc.), follow that provider’s billing/support process as described in the guidance for third‑party purchases.
    3. If the subscription appears but features are missing
      • Ensure that the subscription is Microsoft 365 Family or Premium and that it is active.
      • If it is active but not working as expected, this is an account/billing issue that requires Microsoft support to review the account directly.
    4. Contact a human at Microsoft Support (billing/subscription)
      • Go to the Microsoft Support site: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus/
      • Make sure the same Microsoft account that owns the subscription is signed in.
      • In the search box, type “Chat with an agent” and press Enter.
      • Select Contact support.
      • Choose Products and services, then select the Microsoft 365/Office category and a billing/subscription topic (for example, “Manage my subscription”).
      • Follow the prompts to connect to a live agent via chat, or choose the Call me back option to speak with a person.

    These steps connect directly with Microsoft Customer Service, who can see the billing details, locate the missing Microsoft 365 Family subscription, and correct or refund if appropriate.
