The Court entered an Order granting final approval of the Settlement. Payments to class members are currently expected to be mailed by February 20, 2026. Please allow 10-15 business days to receive your check after mailing.
This is the administrator's schedule, in its own words. We have not seen it confirm that payments were issued.
The court approved the settlement on Dec 12, 2025. That was 331 days ago.
Where it stands
- No claim form needed
- Court approved Dec 12, 2025 (current stage)
- Distribution ordered
- Payments issued
We do not promise a payment date. This page shows only what the court and the settlement administrator (the company that handles claims) have said. Full facts and deadlines are on the settlement page.
Confirm with the administrator before you act.
How long payment has taken in other cases
First payments were issued 52 to 875 days after final approval, based on 15 settlements. Half were paid within 119 days. 1 of the 15 waited on appeals after approval.
This is a small sample and a pattern, not a prediction. Your settlement can be faster or slower. This one is at day 331 since approval.
What would change this
- The administrator posts a payment date or says payments have started.
- The court issues a distribution order.
- Someone appeals the approval, which can delay payment.
- A court order changes the amount or the schedule.
How we’ll update
We change the status only when the administrator makes a statement or the court issues an order. We look at the official site and the court docket regularly. Every change is dated in the update log on the settlement page. Last change: Nov 5, 2026.

Questions
Is this settlement legitimate?
The administrator is Analytics Consulting, and the official site is www.kclcoisettlement.com. Real notices point there; if a link in a message goes anywhere else, do not use it.
The official site never asks you to pay to file.
Who is covered?
Who is covered: no state limit is stated; the class is defined by who was affected, not by where you live.
