The deadline to submit claim forms for this lawsuit has passed. The claims had to be submitted to the SHOC office or postmarked by February 18, 2010.

Checks were sent out on May 25, 2010 to approved claimants who have mailing addresses. Checks to approved claimants who do not have a mailing address and requested to pick up their checks at SHOC are able to pick up their checks in Loaves & Fishes’ Friendship Park at 1321 North C Street. Checks are being distributed in Friendship Park.

For those claimants that were not approved, they have been sent a denial letter or have a letter that can be picked up at Loaves & Fishes’ Friendship Park.

Checks and denial letters sent to claimants whose addresses have changed are being returned. If you are a claimant and have not received a check or letter, please call our office. Your check or denial letter may have been returned to us.

The settlement and award decisions are final and there is not an appeal process.
