Payments for reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses will be made first, and if enough money remains in the Settlement Fund at the end of each program year, that money will be paid to Class Members who: (a) submitted claims for out-of-pocket expenses in that year or prior years that were previously rejected; or (b) sought to register for a Residual Distribution payment only. Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses will be made on a first-in-first-out basis during years one through three, until the Settlement Fund is depleted for that year.

Settlement Payments (excluding reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses) are capped at 250 per Class Member in the program year in which the Class Member registers for a payment (or a subsequent year if the Class Member is moved to the subsequent year due to insufficient funds in years one through three). Approved payments to Class Members to reimburse them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are not capped, unless pro rata reimbursements are required in year four. After the Final Registration/Claim Deadline, if enough money remains in the Settlement Fund and it is administratively feasible, the remaining money will be paid to all Class Members who registered/submitted a claim for a Settlement Payment on a per capita basis, up to a maximum of 250 per Class Member.
