How is it paid?
Clubs get the following amounts over the three seasons.
In season one, 2016-17, Villa would get £40 million
In season two, 2017-18, Villa would get £33 million
In season three, 2018-19, Villa would get £14 million.
No double dipping
That would be my understanding. They would be paying PL wages for a season so would start again if they went down.So... if they went up this year that would cancel out the following £33 mill. But if they went down next season would it not start at £40 mill again?

Do they get it twice over ? If go up and down then up and down?
No, if they get promoted those specific payments stop and they get the PL money.
If they get relegated again they get the 1st season parachutes again (declining over 3 seasons).
As for which clubs receive them, I think it's the last year for Reading, Fulham, Cardiff and Wigan. Couple years left for QPR (old rules).
Obviously Villa, Norwich and Newcastle on the new 3 season system.
Good news if we make it this year for Tony's annual loss.Parachute payments: the Premier League's way of saying 'what goes down must go up.'
