When Payments Arrive
With final approval entered on May 26, 2026, the settlement is now in the distribution phase. Any appeals period must run first. If no appeals are filed, or if they resolve quickly, payments to Direct Payment and Claim-In Class Members should follow within several months of final approval.
JND Legal Administration is handling distribution and will send your payment by the method you selected on the claim form, either a physical check or an electronic check. Direct Payment Class Members who never filed a separate claim will be paid using the contact information tied to the notice they originally received, so an outdated address can delay or redirect a check.
Cash any paper check promptly. Settlement checks expire after a set period, and uncashed funds are generally turned over to state unclaimed property programs.
