Settlement payments have been completed. Eligible Class Members were issued a Settlement Share by check or their selected payment method. Payments for incarcerated Class Members will be sent directly to the correctional institution.

If you are incarcerated in CDCR custody or on parole and you owe restitution, CDCR will collect any amounts owed pursuant to a restitution fine or order, including any administrative fees related to such amount pursuant to Penal Code Section 2085.8. CDCR is also obligated to pay all outstanding liens against incarcerated Class Members, whether known or unknown, which amounts must be deducted from your cash payment and paid on the incarcerated Class Member's behalf to the lienholder(s).
