So, Will I Get $125 at Some Point?
Err…no. Sorry, but here’s the final caveat: $125 is the maximum amount that could be paid to a claimant, and it’s very unlikely that people will qualify for the full amount or get much at all. The problem is that this max $125 cap was set early on in the process. Now that it’s clear how many valid claims are being made, the official word from the settlement website is that payments will be “substantially lowered” from whatever they would have been and that you can look forward to getting only “a small percentage” of your initial claim.
So yes, it’s bad news all round. But even if it’s just a few bucks, when the payment finally arrives, you’ll be getting an email about it at the address you used to register your claim, so don’t delete that account just yet.
