Where it stands
The claim deadline was July 27, 2026. Our source does not list a hearing date or an approval order.
It does not report any payments. Claim review is the current step.
When checks usually go out
The wait after a deadline runs months, not weeks. Final approval comes first, an appeal period follows, and only then does the administrator validate claims and start distribution by check, direct deposit, or prepaid card. Documented loss claims required receipts, and those get checked one by one, which stretches the review step.
If you filed
Keep the confirmation number or class member ID from your filing; the administrator uses it to find your claim and fix a wrong address or payment method. Ignore any text or email offering early release for a fee. Administrators pay directly and never charge. The Payout app flags settlements while they still accept claims, which is the only stage where a filing helps. It is free on the administrator site regardless.
