SFDCT Cumulative Claims Payments as of April 30,2009
The SFDCT released their cumulative payments for all classes on April 30, 2009. The total payments, including payments for rupture, explant, expedited, and disease claims totaled $1,091,835,063.53 for all classes, made up of 106,549 claims. There is close to $2 billion left!
CLAIMS PROCESSING UPDATES
The Claims Administrator recently reported that processing for claims in Disease Option 1 (Classes 5 and 6) is essentially current. If you have a Disease Option 1 claim that is ready to submit, now would be a good time to submit it because the wait time is minimal. The Settlement Facility is currently reviewing Requests for Additional Information (RAI's) (documents submitted to cure a deficiency) that were submitted in June 2008.
The Settlement Facility is processing GCTS claims submitted in March 2006, and Requests for Additional Information for GCTS claims submitted in February 2008.
The Settlement Facility is processing SLE claims submitted in June 2007, and Requests for Additional Information for SLE claims submitted in March 2008.
The Settlement Facility is essentially current in reviewing claims for Polymyositis, dermatomyositis and Scleroderma.
OTHER CLAIM ISSUES
There are approximately $3.9 million in stale checks issued to 950 claimants. These checks were not cashed because in many cases claimants had moved and did not provide a current address to the Settlement Facility. It is extremely important to keep your address and contact information current with the Settlement Facility and your attorney if you are represented. If you move, let the Settlement Facility know by sending them a letter with your current address and contact information.
Another reason why there are so many uncashed checks is because sadly claimants have died and their families do not know about the claim or do not know that they can still pursue a claim. Benefits can be paid to a claimant's estate and heirs.
