The Court in charge of this case approved the Settlements on November 27, 2024. Payments will be made after any appeals are resolved. Please be patient.
This is the administrator's expected timing, in its own words. It is an expectation, not a payment date.
The court approved the settlement on May 9, 2024. That was 913 days ago.
Where it stands
- Claims closed Dec 30, 2025
- Court approved May 9, 2024 (current stage)
- Distribution ordered
- Payments issued
We do not promise a payment date. This page shows only what the court and the settlement administrator (the company that handles claims) have said. Full facts and deadlines are on the settlement page.
Confirm with the administrator before you act.
How long payment has taken in other cases
First payments were issued 52 to 875 days after final approval, based on 15 settlements. Half were paid within 119 days. 1 of the 15 waited on appeals after approval.
This is a small sample and a pattern, not a prediction. Your settlement can be faster or slower. This one is at day 913 since approval.
What would change this
- The administrator posts a payment date or says payments have started.
- The court issues a distribution order.
- Someone appeals the approval, which can delay payment.
- A court order changes the amount or the schedule.
How we’ll update
We change the status only when the administrator makes a statement or the court issues an order. We look at the official site and the court docket regularly. Every change is dated in the update log on the settlement page. Last change: Nov 4, 2026.
