Supplemental Payment Update – July 15, 2026:
We appreciate your continued patience while we finalize the supplemental distribution process.
Supplemental payments are expected to be issued on a rolling basis beginning by July 30, 2026 .
Based on current claim volume, it is estimated that the supplemental payment will represent 45% of each eligible Class Member’s approved claim amount for those who already have received an initial settlement payment . Combined with the initial distribution, which represented 25% of each approved claim amount , eligible Class Members will have received 70% of their approved claim , the maximum amount provided under the Settlement Agreement.
If your claim has been approved but you have not yet received your initial settlement payment, then it is estimated you will receive a single payment for the full 70% of your approved claim.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding as we complete the final steps of this process.
