Last January 28, 2011 the fairness hearing was held and the final settlement offer has been accepted both by the Plaintiffs and their counsel. However, the court has granted a 30-day grace period for Rust Consulting, the claims administrator to give time to correct any further issues related to claims and claims eligibility. Issues were raised after some eligible claimants particularly in the State of Oregon, found that their names were not included in the original claimants' list.
When that grace period lapses on March 25, 2011 and ALL issues have been addressed, then that will only be the time claims can be mailed out, possibly on April or depending on the prevailing circumstances on those dates.
There will be changes on the amount that you will receive from the settlement. If you look at Section 8 of the Official Court Notice that was mailed out to you late last year, it tells you the amount you most likely to receive. But because of additional claimants that Rust Consulting may include with the claims list, your share of the settlement may decrease as well. But not significant according to the Claims Administrator.
I would like also to dispel some misconceptions being raised by some. Yes, claimants can receive settlement share not lower than $25 based on the stipulated agreement. But some of you may receive $250 or even $2,500 if you get lucky. But surprisingly, there are claimants in Washington State and in California that can get more than $8,527.70 per individual. So again, your settlement share boils down to the length of your employment and the number of shifts you have worked with RGIS LLC.

The posts are very informative, but the person writing them has awful grammar and usage.

ReplyDeleteThere are at least 2 authors of this blog that I know of. And they never claimed to be experts in grammar. And I don't pretend to be one either. I am just the average type.
But that's Ok. I like this blog a lot. Thanks for your comment.

ReplyDeleteTo Pensacola Lady:
ReplyDeleteIt was just constructive criticism. I am very glad and welcoming of this website and its information..I have a tip for you. Its incorrect to start a sentence with "and".
Anonymous said, "...I have a tip for you. Its incorrect to start a sentence with "and".
ReplyDeleteThat is true. Pensacola lady never started her sentence with "and" but with "And"
Whether or not the word "And" serves as a coordinating conjunction or simply a stylistic choice is not the issue. Rules in English have changed over the years.
Shakespeare, Milton, Heller, Cervantes, Oxford dictionary of English, the Bible use the word "And" at the beginning of a sentence. Many english professors state that it IS grammatically correct to start a sentence with "AND" as long as you do not overuse it.
So, what's up with that?
By the way, are you a British or an American, or simply an english junkie? Just to make sure we are on the same page of the same book.
Can they hurry up and finalize all the appropriate claimants and start issuing checks. This is getting ridiculous and I want my money.
ReplyDeleteThere is no reason why it should have taken over 2 months after the settlement date and still not issue checks.
I only believe about this settlement when I get hold of my check. Not that i don't believe the settlemnt. Rust Computing has a bad history on delaying payments.
ReplyDeleteI NEED MY MONEY NOW!!!!!!!!! I have a lot of things to pay such as credit card debts, pay personal loans, etc. Rust Computing, rush in my money!
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, I WANT the money! They, no doubt, are delaying payment so the interest accrues. Any idea how much the interest income is while your sitting on 22 Million in the bank? WTF Give it up, already!
ReplyDeletewere we supposed to file some type claim form in order to receive any compensation.
ReplyDeletehas anyone received their check as of 06/21/2011.

ReplyDeleteJust got my check although its a very small amount. That's okay because i barely worked at all for this district. Too bad it wasn't for my old one because i would have gotten so much! What goes around comes around for those Vancouver Washington DM's. The principle is what counts. It makes up for all the lying they did. Crooks! Most terrible and stressful job ever for me in N. Portland!
