What the administrator says
Affected consumers are receiving a check because of a settlement in this lawsuit. The payments do not change or reduce any student loans affected consumers may have, and they should continue to work with their student loan servicers.
What would change this
- The administrator posts a second round, a reissue date, or a deadline to cash checks.
- 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 4, 2026.
