How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $110 million, which will be distributed among eligible Direct Recognition Life 10 and 11 policyholders. Individual payout amounts have not been publicly confirmed and will likely vary depending on factors such as your specific policy, its value, and how long it was in force during the relevant period. Because no claim form is required, payments or policy credits are expected to be applied automatically to qualifying policyholders. The exact timing and method of distribution will be determined as the settlement moves through court approval.
