Proof Required?
Blue Ridge Power's WARN Act settlement sends checks automatically — no claim form, no filing, nothing. This is a former-employee settlement, not a consumer one: it covers people who worked at or took assignments from the company's Fayetteville, North Carolina worksite and were laid off around October 17, 2025, allegedly without the 60 days' written notice the federal WARN Act requires. Three weeks after the layoffs, Blue Ridge and 118 affiliates filed for Chapter 11, which is why the case — James Mathes v. Blue Ridge Power, LLC, Adv. No. 25-03828 — lives in the Southern District of Texas bankruptcy court. The company is funding $3,072,482, and Kroll mails each class member a check within 30 days of the settlement taking effect. Your estimated share was enclosed with the mailed notice, already net of fees and costs, though taxes still come out. Some class members also receive a general unsecured claim in the bankruptcy on top. Blue Ridge denies liability, and no court has found otherwise. There is no claim deadline because there is no claim. October 5, 2026 is the postmark deadline to opt out; objections must reach the court by November 2; the fairness hearing is November 9 in Houston.
