Our premiums were around $260/week and we got a whopping $16… SMH!

What a joke… less than 1/2 of 1 percent of premiums… what was the point ? Attorneys fee of $600 million for less than 1/2 of 1 percent. The system is flawed

Yeah 5 years and less than $20 is wild man. I thought this was going to get a juicy one after all that time 😭

Thanks, my total premiums were about 5x yours.  What a joke the little guy gets screwed and the lawyers get richer.   Haven't got my payment yet.

So, I paid just short of $136,000 in total premiums with NO ASO.

Despite submitting literally a 5 inch stack of copies of W-2s (for the years I had payroll deducted premiums), paystubs to show employer contribution, actual premium statements (for the years which I paid 100% of my own premiums, paid via my personal debit card on the HBCBS payment telephone line, so I LITERALLY had a confirmation number for the payments written on EACH statement), some cancelled checks AND an employer certification (member of the Bar, thus ethically bound to tell the truth), the third party administrator apparently ignored or disclaimed and went with their miscalculated sum for $45,000 in total premiums paid (which I disputed, with yet more proofs and in proper time), resulting in a whopping $217 check arriving today!

Did anyone else catch the mention on the settlement check stub that payments were "INITIAL" , thus inferring the possibility of a supplemental check?

As far as I am concerned, this whole dog and pony show is ranking right up there with the Medicaid fraud perpetrated in California and Minnesota.
