Claim Payment

Your payment will depend primarily on the claim option you choose:

The Discounted Cash Payment (DCP) option is a single, cash payment and is paid according to the scheduled value of each disease outlined on page two of the Instructions for Filing a Claim. 

The Individualized Review Claim (IRC) option is paid the current payment percentage of the gross settlement value of a scheduled disease as outlined on page three of the Instructions for Filing a Claim.  IRC payments are made on a two-payment basis, with the first payment of one-half of the current payment percentage of the gross settlement amount. The second payment is made two years later in a higher or lower amount to reflect any increase or decrease in the payment percentage calculation, which is reviewed annually by the Trustees.
