Already summited my claim form last year September 2016. When can we get the settlement payment?
ADMIN – Hi Daniel,
Most class actions can take a year or more to be paid out.
I submitted my claim form soon as I received it in the main. I was incarcerated at the Union County Jail numerous times during the time period of which the lawsuit covers and i have called to confirm that my involvement in the lawsuit was received by you so what i am wondering is how is it decided who gets their check issued first? Is there some sort of process because I know for a fact that many people have already received checks in my area. Also, like i stated i was there numerous times so do i get $300.00 for each time or is it a one time deal? One last question, at the time of which the lawsuit is concerning i would of been arrested, charged, and in the system at the jail under my maiden name (Berman) which is no longer my legal last name, will that cause any type of problems or delay my check from being processed and swnt out to me?
Thank you, Stacey Riley
