The estimate enclosed with your notice is already net of the service payment, attorneys' fees, and administration costs; taxes and withholdings still apply. Certain class members additionally receive an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in the Chapter 11 cases.How you get paid

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to file a claim in the Blue Ridge Power WARN settlement?
No. There is no claim form — Kroll Settlement Administration calculates each class member's share of the $3,072,482 fund and mails checks within 30 days of the effective date. Doing nothing keeps you in and gets you paid.
Who is in the Mathes v. Blue Ridge Power class?
Former employees who worked at or received assignments from the Fayetteville, North Carolina worksite and were laid off around October 17, 2025 — affected employees under the federal WARN Act. It is an employee settlement, not a consumer one.
How much will I get from the Blue Ridge WARN settlement?
Your individual estimated recovery was enclosed with the mailed notice, already net of fees and costs but before taxes. Exact amounts depend on approved fees, opt-outs, and unclaimed distributions; some members also receive a general unsecured claim in the bankruptcy.
What are the deadlines in the Blue Ridge Power settlement?
October 5, 2026 is the postmark deadline to opt out. Objections must be received by the Bankruptcy Court by November 2, 2026, and the Final Fairness Hearing is November 9, 2026 in Houston. There is no claim deadline because payment is automatic.
