United Healthcare Settlement Update
The final fairness hearing was held on September 13, 2010. On September 20, 2010, the Court granted final approval of the proposed Settlement. Final judgment was entered on October 5, 2010.
Pursuant to the Court Order, all Class Members had until October 5, 2010 to file their claim form to be eligible to receive monies from the Settlement Fund. Class Members who, by October 5, submitted to Berdon Claims Administration a request for claims data -- as described in the Class Notice on pages 4 and 8 -- by mailing, emailing or faxing to Berdon the Claim Information Request Form from page 15 of the Notice, or by completing the online form at www.berdonclaims.com, also satisfied the filing deadline.
After all requested claims data has been provided, the Claims Administrator will send a Deficiency Letter to any Class Member who has been assigned an Initial Claim Number following submission of the claims data request form, but who has not yet submitted a complete and signed claim form, as well as to any Class Member whose submitted claim form is deficient in some manner. The Deficiency Letter will notify the Class Member of what has to be submitted as well as a new due date by which such new information must be supplied. All deficiencies in Class Members' submissions to the Claims Administrator, including the lack of complete and signed claim forms for those Class Members assigned an Initial Claim Number, and the absence of any necessary evidence, must be resolved by the due date set out in the Deficiency Letter in order for Class Members to be eligible to receive their Recognized Losses from the Settlement Fund. Please note that the Claims Administrator is not able at this time to verify receipt of claim forms.
