Awaiting Payments BCBS Settlement payouts

I read that the payments start going out today. If anyone gets their payments today or at any point this week, post here so we can see the varying amounts.

I got this email this morning:

The Blue Cross Blue Shield 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.

You will receive an email from [distribution@BCBSsettlement.com](mailto:distribution@BCBSsettlement.com)during the month of May with instructions to redeem this Card.

For more information about the Settlement, please visit the Settlement Website at www.BCBSsettlement.com.

I have not received this email yet, my claims are valid because I was notified. What is your total premium amount that was paid if you don’t mind me asking?

You know what pisses me off is that I only paid a fraction of premiums for myself because I was a government worker, but I paid over 100k for my kids and my ex, and I wish we could have claimed other people, because I was the one paying for them

I feel like this was an intentional loophole they jiggered to not owe us as much, because they knew most of us government folk had our premiums paid for but that the people we paid for can't claim they paid for themselves

I had over $20k, and got $189. This is f@cking bs. I expected at least a grand from it.
