Great News!
Yesterday, November 7, 2012, the Judge presiding over the Vodak class action civil rights lawsuit granted the motion for final approval of the class action settlement and approved an award for our attorneys’ fees and costs. You can find the motion for final approval of the class claims here.
What’s Next?
On January 7, 2013, the City of Chicago is obligated to provide the Claims Administrator with the money to fund the class members’ settlement awards.
Class members should receive their settlement checks in the mail from the Claims Administrator within 30 days thereafter. (Note, if your address has changed since you submitted your claims forms, you need to contact the Claims Administrator to ensure you get your settlement award).
Class members must deposit or otherwise cash their settlement checks before April 6, 2013 or the money will go back to the City of Chicago.
If you do not get your check by February 7, 2013, please contact the Claims Administrator at www.chicagoantiwarprotestsettlement.com or at:
