How Much Are Claimants Getting?
The settlement website does not list a per-person amount. Each valid claim receives a pro rata share of the net settlement fund, which is what remains of the $3,743,600 after court-approved attorneys’ fees and expenses, a service award and administration costs.Claimants have reported emails about a $48.36 payment that ask them to choose how to receive it by January 27, 2027. OpenClassActions.com has not been able to confirm that amount or that deadline with the administrator, and neither appears on the settlement website. Any payment email should point back to the official settlement website, DUHSSettlement.com, and no legitimate settlement charges a fee to release a payment.
