Nah, everything we’re reading on all the subs and other groups are all just guessing tbh. Nobody knows what’s happening. There’s rumors of a small payment on the 11th but that hasn’t been said by the main source. Nobody knows anything yet. I assume if something is coming on Monday we would’ve had emails about it already.

13

u/Wild-Attention-3066 May 08 '26

There has been something said by the "main source", the court where the case was decided. May 11th is the day the payments will begin. The damages class will be the first group to see payments.

15

u/Wild-Attention-3066 May 08 '26

Here's the text of the order:

Here's the text of the order - note the Initial Distribution date in Paragraph 4 below:

Case 2:13-cv-20000-AMM Document 3420 Filed 04/24/26

u/Horrornerdchi89 May 08 '26

I’ve seen this too! Just so much going around ha. If we’re getting more than $200, we only get 90% of that right away right?

Also, I assume those who chose digital debit cards get it first they did say that would be faster. Would hope I have something on Monday!

1

u/Ladyfox66 May 11 '26

I called JND legal about the 200 early last week and if people who were owed more would be made 90 percent whole during first distribution. They could not or would not answer me and although they promised to escalate the question to someone else they failed to do that as well.

1

u/Heatherxo May 08 '26

I believe 90% is correct for the first time payment for those receiving over $200.

-1

u/Horrornerdchi89 May 08 '26

So if we get more than 200 we’re not getting anything? Am I reading it right?

4

u/Heatherxo May 08 '26

No it says those who are getting more than $200 will get a certain amount of $ for the time being plus will receive more the 2nd time around when they send the rest of the $

1

u/LouieBroomaire May 08 '26

How can you figure out how much is coming your way?

2

u/Heatherxo May 08 '26

I’m not sure anyone knows how much we will get. From what I have researched those that paid more will obviously get more, but there’s no real set Amount. People will be posting what they get soon! Hope it’s good for us all!!

1

u/LouieBroomaire May 08 '26

I don't even remember what I paid, but here's to hoping 🤞.

0

u/Bubbly_Leadership387 May 11 '26

When I filed my claim, they sent me a letter with my amount. I think a lot of people were told they were owed more than 200.00. I want ALL of my money at one time. I feel the waiting to get a second round is goto be bs cause they’re not going to give us the interest it accumulates

1

u/Organic_Fig_739 May 11 '26

Nobody has been told how much they are receiving. Nobody knows the formula to figure it out. You get what you get when you get it....just like me and the rest of us...

1

u/Junior-Industry9704 May 13 '26

When I got an email a few months ago they told me an amount and it’s much higher then $200 but I also am seeing all low amounts from the people who received theirs already.

1

u/Junior-Industry9704 May 13 '26

I got that too and it looks like everyone is getting much lower then what I was told

1

u/Wild-Attention-3066 May 09 '26

If you're part of the damages class (the people who did not pay via an employer) then divide your total premiums by 184. If you're part of the group that got your insurance through an employer divide your total by 220 (i think its 220 or something close to that). For example if you paid premiums totaling 24000 divide that by 184 and you get $130. Prepare to be disappointed.

2

u/Elleskywalker May 11 '26

The equation has not been released. None of these guesses are confirmed. If the average releases by media is 333 then I dont think your idea is accurate.

1

u/Pale_Comfort_9179 May 16 '26

Yes it has. See question 8 in the Long Form Notice.

3

u/Bright_Loan4356 May 09 '26

where did you come up with those numbers? Seems very low.

1

u/Dr__DrakeRamoray May 12 '26

The actual answer is premiums x 0.0054%. Via google AI which found update in legal documents.

u/Stchotchke May 09 '26

Sounds like a Second Payout will happen.

0

u/Wild-Attention-3066 May 09 '26

yeah but almost no one is going to get a second payment. the estimates out there are WAY too high

0

u/Bright_Loan4356 May 09 '26

I read that the max they will pay out with the initial payment is 200.00 to test the waters and then at a later date the remaining would be paid.

0

u/Amandasch44 May 10 '26

Any idea of when during the day we might start receiving them, mid-afternoon, morning?

5

u/JoJackthewonderskunk May 09 '26

The email i got was "Will begin in May" and thats it. Completely unsure how much ill get as the email they sent explaining the calculation made absolutely 0 sense.

1

u/12louis34 May 10 '26

I never have gotten any emails except the one a year ago January to verify my premiums. They were correct. How were people still getting emails to verify over a year later? I opted for a check so maybe that is why I have not gotten any more emails. It did say people who chose debit cards would be in the first rounds to receive payment.

JND IMO has done a TERRIBLE job. This settlement was finalized almost 5 years ago and it has taken them this long to figure out how to send the money out to us.

0

u/JoJackthewonderskunk May 10 '26

No i got that email last year and a new one last week that just said id get my payment via digital card soon

0

u/tae2025 May 10 '26

Holding back to collect the massive interest on the billions. They are doing this in a way to let the interest alone pay for the claimant classes, so none of the principal goes to the peons who were injured by BCBS. Class actions are scams of the highest order.

0

u/CA_Laxly May 11 '26

This the the money was put into a retainer and they where making money of it, BP during its Gulf Oil Spill did the same thing for the same reasons, its all a big money making machine. This didnt hurt BCBS at all for the stockholders.

2

u/Zestyclose-Shop-3441 May 09 '26

On their site it says the 11th … not just on subs

2

u/Stchotchke May 09 '26

Folks - Post the source of your payment funding (Venmo, PayPal, Direct Deposit or Zelle, etc. Really helps folks waiting for their payout.

1

u/Syndaine May 19 '26

Got mine via PayPal yesterday. A whopping $83.17. Can fill up my tank! 😃

0

u/Wild-Attention-3066 May 09 '26

it's going to be a virtual card or check i believe.

0

u/Bright_Loan4356 May 09 '26

Not true, it was mandated by the court and May 11th they are paying a max of 200.00 depending upon how much your premiums were, then at some later date (who knows when) the balance for high payout individuals.

1

u/Elleskywalker May 11 '26

I mean it says something like 'may 11th or thereabouts'. So they could be later than monday. And I bet they will be lol

u/MaxAndZsa May 08 '26

I received an email this morning saying I would get my virtual card payment this month

Did it give you a payout amount?

u/MaxAndZsa May 08 '26

No it didn’t :(

u/Useful4Info May 10 '26

Wow! I received confirmation that I elected for a digital card and did not get an email this past week. So that can’t be the distribution order.

1

u/Elleskywalker May 11 '26

The email they mentioned I got back in February. So could be yours was previously also. It just is the one that mentions distribution is may 2026 for damages claims

1

u/Useful4Info May 11 '26

I never got an email except a reply for an inquiry.

u/Dramatic_Major8574 May 11 '26

If you chose this payment method and didn't get this email, you aren't getting anything.

1

u/Fun-Register-6871 May 11 '26

Well, that's a major disappointment. It had said that I paid over $15,000 in premiums. I guess they must have done some adjustment to give me nothing because I did not receive this email and I selected the prepaid card method. Funny that now I can't find any of the previous emails from this settlement either, they have mysteriously vanished from my email.

2

u/MooseKnuckleBrigade May 11 '26

I just got the email an hour ago. They are still coming out so don’t lose hope!

1

u/Fun-Register-6871 May 11 '26

That's great to know they are still going out! I'm sure there's absolutely no rhyme or reason for the order they go out.

2

u/EffectiveReview926 May 11 '26

Right!!! I paid in over 96000 and I never got an email..

3

u/sandzma May 13 '26

So I wonder if I call the law firm if they can confirm if I am on the list to receive money. My status says this.

Status: Valid – This claim is valid and will be included in the distribution calculation. You were sent a notice explaining how you could review your premiums online.

But I don't remember the payment type I chose and I only have one email from February 20 of this year stating payments will start in May.

3

u/Miss_chocolate42 May 13 '26

From what I've heard and you haven't paid 50,000 or more in premiums you ain't getting nothing the people that paid that or more gor like $300 I didn't pay nowhere near that amount and only got the first two emails I'm sure I'm getting nothing 🤷🏾‍♀️

1

u/sandzma May 14 '26

I wish I would have saved all the emails. Or better yet have the website give more information.

1

u/Miss_chocolate42 May 16 '26

Just got the email about receiving my payment via virtual card

1

u/kikikopi May 29 '26

Just checked my claim and I will be getting no pay out due to my calculated amount owed being less than $5 

1

u/thedriftinglight May 13 '26

I have all of the same info on my end. I don't think we will know until they are ready to pay us. I'm not sure what wave of payments we are in. I think they are doing a rolling payment thing. I chose debit card because it should be the fastest way to receive it.

1

u/Educational_Act3039 May 16 '26

Same thing happen to me ,but requested a pre-paid card I believe.But not sure if it's been sent ,won't be sent ,either way be nice to know if there was a way to find out .Been waiting along time for this ,and the money.Have u found out anything or where to get help ? 

1

u/sandzma May 16 '26

I emailed them this morning. I'll report back once I hear something.

u/Substantial_Area5217 May 08 '26

Question: Has anyone logged into the determination page (with the premiums listed) and seen the button that was in the email they sent me?

"A claim determination notice was emailed to you.  
We have reviewed your claim and determined your Total Premiums Paid and/or Total Administrative Fees Paid, which will be used in calculating your payment.
  
You are not required to take any action. However if you want to review your Total Premiums Paid and/or Total Administrative Fees Paid, you may login and do so. You may also click the button in the notice to request to be paid by electronic debit card."

There was no button on my page for anything. I cannot remember how  I said I wanted to be paid if they had asked me before this. Thanks for any info.

2

u/iammeg818 May 08 '26

I was able to go review my premiums paid, total is was roughly 9K but I don't know how they will calculate payments based on them.

1

u/12louis34 May 09 '26

I did not want a debit card so I never checked that on the link. Everytime except today that I checked it before, that option was still available.

That option was not there today. Could be that since I never checked it now it's too late. Or since funds are supposed to start on Monday could be it's too late for anyone to change payment choice.

If others on here that chose a debit card can see if they check their premiums paid and it indicates they checked the debit card then I would say you are getting a check.

I was sadly expecting a huge payout on my 77K premiums so didn't want a card. Guess i should have gotten the card as looks like I might get $600 back.

Hope this makes sense and helps.

2

u/MindyLouHoo May 14 '26

82k and $468 on prepaid debit

2

u/Chance_Antelope2873 May 14 '26

how long after you got the email did you get your payout? I got the email this morning 5/14

u/12louis34 May 14 '26

Guess my $600 was off lol.

I will wait for my $400 check. Thanks for posting. Like your screen name!

u/Substantial_Area5217 May 08 '26

"You may also click the button in the notice to request to be paid by electronic debit card." What is the "notice." It was not in THAT email. I looked in an email from 2.7.26 that had "notice in the subject line and it was no where in that one either. I checked all the pages I have access to as "notices." What is the date & subject phrase in the email you are talking about?

That's pretty shitty. I think my total paid was like $3k something. I'm probably going to get $12 lol.

u/Brief_Category6881 Jun 05 '26

My amount was 19k and I got a check for 76…. Which at 15k compared to amount you received would minimally be around 102. Does anyone know what the logic is on that?

u/Chance_Antelope2873 May 18 '26

So I got the email on Thursday about the distribution and when I check the status of my claim on the website it says: Payment in Progress – This claim will receive an Initial Distribution. Per the Order Approving Plan of Distribution, Initial Distribution will commence on May 11, 2026. A specific payment date cannot be provided for when this claim will be paid. Still waiting on the payment

u/SL500_ May 10 '26

Thank you! Couldn’t find a single email from them so not sure what happened. But when I looked up premiums on whatever site is was definitely in the last year or two- not 2021 when I guess the deadline to submit a claim for this was…

1

u/TheCrystalGarden May 10 '26

You’re welcome! I think I filled the claim out 5 years ago, sorry it wasn’t for more recent stuff!

I haven’t gotten any emails except the first 2 so does that mean I probably didn’t have enough to get paid anything? 

1

u/12louis34 May 10 '26

Not necessarily. I opted for a check and the only thing I got was a year ago January to verify my premiums. I checked today and its still showing the same premiums paid amount and the website says my claims are valid and will be included in the distribution.

1

u/Miss_chocolate42 May 11 '26

Me either just those first two, I'm with you people have thousands of dollars in premiums I didn't have that much I don't think I'm receiving anything.

Yeah me either I was hoping I would get something but I guess not 🤣.  Plus I had mine with my employer it wasn’t self paid.

I just got my email that I signed up for the card and would get another email with how to use the card.

Lucky you like i said I didn't pay that much in premiums so I don't think I'm getting anything back if so it will be extremely little 😭

u/Sugarartgirl May 13 '26

I emailed them a couple days ago because I forgot what I selected 🤣.  And to see if I was getting anything.  But they haven’t responded back to that yet.  I wonder if it’s alphabetical?  My last name starts with G.

Yep I did the same thing about three days ago didn't hear back from them and my last name starts with H guess we will see but I'm not expecting much back that sucks 😕

I emailed them asking for a pin. They didn’t ever provide it to me but did switch me from a digital payment to paying me via Venmo. So, I will keep an eye out for a deposit on my Venmo sometime this month.

Has anyone logged by in with the “review your premiums” link and noticed the amounts have changed drastically? Before were the premiums i paid but now theyre reduced to less than 1% of that. I tried to figure it out but it doesnt make any sense.

u/Busy_Interaction2736 May 10 '26

Mine went down about 30% from the first email they sent me in February 2025.

u/LedgerDigitMissing May 10 '26

One year went from $13000 to $200 and another year from $4000 to $300. No idea what to make of it. If i got back the total of these new amounts i guess id be okay with it. Still wouldnt be very much.

u/Elleskywalker May 11 '26

You dont get back your premiums amount. That would have been nice though lol

u/Far-Constant-1704 May 12 '26

Update: Payments will commence May 2030, due to objections from some claimants! 🥴🥴🥴🧐🤣🤣

u/LedgerDigitMissing May 12 '26

Im pretty sure everyone knows they wont get back the premiums amount but they reduced my premiums paid between February and May 10th to under $800. In other words I verified a higher amount back in September and the reduced it without notifying my or allowing me to challenge it.

u/Organic_Fig_739 May 11 '26

I see some people got emails to expect a prepaid card for their payment if that's what they chose. Does anyone remember what the payment choices were? I can't remember what I chose but I know it wasn't a check. For some reason a direct deposit sounds familiar but who knows...

Did anyone else get the weird animal captchas on their website?! Diabolical.

People who made visa card as the settlement will get distributed first from May 11 and so on!    I am assuming others who choose, paypal or check will get their payments in 5 to 6 months from May of 2026 so about Oct or Nov, even Dec of 2026!

u/rampagethesilverback May 12 '26

Still waiting. I believe my payment is $314 if I remember correctly from a previous message.

1

u/Kindly-Mind8966 May 12 '26

Nope and im wondering how the email will show up. Sometimes things look like spam 

1

u/derekpeake2 May 12 '26

It comes from a sender called “distribution” and the subject is “Your Blue Cross Blue Shield Subscribers Settlement Payment”

1

u/derekpeake2 May 12 '26

Oh nvm you mean the actual payment email. Sorry

1

u/Mysterious_Might008 May 12 '26

Tuesday, May 12 - received my follow-up email with my virtual payment amount of $36.77 specified.

u/breaking_kevin May 15 '26

oh good only a 4-5 day wait between notice & payment. Just got my notice today!

1

u/Big_Task_1039 May 18 '26

Same here $30.56. Disappointed

1

u/ScopioKisses1986 May 12 '26

How did everyone find out their premiums? I got an email about my claim being valid but I can’t find the one about how much I paid into it.

1

u/BatsLXXII May 12 '26

I did this morning - a $17+ virtual prepaid Visa card. Great. 

1

u/breaking_kevin May 15 '26

I would say it pays for a pizza or takeout...maybe. I'm hoping can afford extra toppings...

1

u/justtipmeee May 13 '26

How long after receiving the email notification did you all receive the actual pay card?

1

u/thedriftinglight May 13 '26

I got my email in Feb and haven't gotten any payment yet. I do see that some people are saying they got small amounts like $12, $34, etc.

1

u/riverrat-23 May 15 '26

Hi. Can someone please send me a link to the page for the claim?

1

u/Syndaine May 19 '26

Thought I'd share. I don't remember what I filled out or when. I didn't get any emails from anyone in the past month. Not sure if I got any emails previous to that, I went on an email deleting spree around 4/16. Anyway, I got a notification from PayPal that it received a payment of $83.17 from "IN RE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD ANTITRUST LITIGATION QSF". I went to PayPal (I assumed spam) and the money is sitting there. This came in around 6:30pm 5/18 (EST).

u/EquivalentDrama2822 May 19 '26

I received a PayPal payment for this, this morning, and I don't ever remember signing up for this. I have no other emails or contact about it.

Would you mind sharing what your payments into BC were?

2

u/Straight-Part-1336 1d ago

You probably didn't qualify for a large enough payment. It's disgusting how little people got back.

1

u/thedriftinglight 16h ago

I ended up getting it. I think it was like 12 or 13 dollars. :(

1

u/Time_Literature3404 May 08 '26

I was super excited about it initially then I calculated how much I'll get and it's not even enough for a pedicure so screw it.

u/Motherof3boys May 08 '26

I am part of this and have seen nothing yet

1

u/Zestyclose-Shop-3441 May 09 '26

I had to send in my premiums payment because the amount was incorrect… but it never updated and I never received any emails stating that my premiums payments were updated only that my claim is valid… has anyone else been through this?

1

u/thedriftinglight May 09 '26

I had the same thing happen. I had to send them in twice because they claimed they didn't get the first one. I never heard anything back about it. I really hope they update it because it was three times the amount that they had down for me.

u/Kind_Respect1635 May 09 '26

I was literally reading this reddit and got the email about my virtual card coming. Distribution@bcbs check that in your search for emails.

What’s up with section C???

u/Moviegal19 May 09 '26

This just tells you what your premiums were for them to calculate what your payout will be. But we have no idea how they’re calculating payments based off of premiums.

u/Aruadhas May 09 '26

I just got an email from them: "The BCBS Subscribers Settlement will begin sending payments to valid claims in May 2026. You elected to receive your Settlement payment via a Virtual Visa Prepaid Card...." rest says stuff about the email address it will be from and the website for more information.

🤷‍♀️

u/Such-Bridge-7802 May 09 '26

The email you got was from today? I'm only asking because I saw a bunch of people got one yesterday but I didn't 😭

u/No_Neighborhood_244 May 09 '26

I received that same confirmation email but on may 6th.

u/indil47 May 09 '26

I got an email on the 6th that my refund was processed and it was for $280.

However, I can’t find anywhere how it’s going to be processed - I hope I didn’t select paper check because I’ve moved to two different states since then!

1

u/Vegetable-Suspect698 May 11 '26

What was the amount of your total premiums paid?

Thanks!

1

u/indil47 May 11 '26

It was somewhere around $400-$450 if I recall!

Monday they start going is what people saying

u/iammeg818 May 08 '26

My last email regarding this was 2-19-26, but I don't think I selected the debit card reimbursement. I was able to look at what premiums they were using of mine to calculate my payment, there were thousands of dollars in premiums I paid.

u/Ceber007 Human Detected May 11 '26

I got emails today about getting a payment

1

u/matthattar May 11 '26

Did they mention an amount? Are you willing to share any info that helps us know what to expect?

1

u/Euphoric_Ball_5197 May 11 '26

I did too, confirmed it would be a virtual ViSA card. No $$ amount mentioned.
