To check whether you are currently generating any revenue from AdSense for feeds, run your “Products” performance report and review the listed products for recent data for "AdSense for feeds."

You are not using the product
From October 2nd, 2012, you’ll no longer have the option to select “Adsense for feeds” from the More products menu in your my ads tab.

   On December 3rd, 2012, AdSense ads will stop serving on RSS feeds and you’ll no longer see feed units in your My ads tab.
    Feed Burner URLs powered by Google will continue to function. As a result, it will not be necessary to redirect your subscribers to different URLs or to take any other action on the account.

Other AdSense products

Although AdSense for feeds is going away, this change will not affect any other AdSense products you are currently using or the availability of the other products to you.
Payments

You are AdSense for feeds units will continue to accrue earnings until December 3, when they will stop showing ads on your RSS feeds. As of the last day of December 2012, your earnings will be finalized as usual. At this point, one of the following will apply:

    If your earnings exceed the payment threshold, your account will be sent for approval for payment, and payments will be issued through the standard AdSense payment process.

    If your earnings do not exceed the payment threshold, but you use other AdSense products, your AdSense for feeds earnings will be accrued toward payment in a future period when your AdSense account does exceed the payment threshold.

    If your earnings do not exceed the payment threshold and you do not use other AdSense products then the amount of accrued earnings from your AdSense for feeds units will remain as a balance in your AdSense account for as long as your account is open.
