wildthing you are wild,lol. l get accused of derailing posts but I assure everyone it’s accidental, but  hijacking threads to get your message out is disruptive, why don’t you create a post called election 2019 and everyone can banter there.?

Happy to see another chapter coming to a close for those of you involved in this one.

Have a great weekend, all!!

Yup same here. Received the letter Yesterday, Monies in the bank today Nice surprise.

Well, I woke up to a nice surprise in my bank account. So if you are a class member, and received your letter yesterday, there may be a good chance that you've been paid as well.

Yes the SRB payment will be in September, so most likely at the end of the month, with the other VAC deposits. I'm not sure about when the retro payments will be make, but that's likely only going to be a few hundred dollars, for most recipients.

Bigrex - on another note or 2 of vac repayments, has anyone heard when the backpay for the miscalculation for several yrs is coming. Last I heard was they have till 2020. And the SRB payout calculation letters should be Aug, as payment is Sept, but again crickets on it also..Tks
VVV

That is because lump sum awards were not used to reduced the ELB payments.

I received notice of payment today.  And am thankful for all the hard work done in this matter.  It will be an added bonus in my bank account. However I am curious. I also realized they did  NOT include % of disability regarding lump sum payouts. So I take it they calculate only the monthly %  of disability that was deducted , rounded off to the nearest fifth.  x by 491.08 per percentage point. It is still a nice amount. Will help pay off some bills

by pension act pension do you mean a monthly sum? ,I have a disability pension dating back to 2004 but l was never on ELB, nor did I ever get a letter in the mail that I would be part of this?

No, the class action only included those Veterans who had the ELB reduced by the amount they got from the monthly disability pension. They ended the clawback in 2012, but did not return any of the money, that had been deducted since 2006, when the ELB was created.

I for sure received ELB

I just rec'd confirmation through MY Vac Account the $$$$$.$$ I will be receiving. Deposit to my back account will be soonest.

Did you receive a Pension Act pension and ELB, before June 2012? If yes, then you are a member of the class.

How do I know if I'm part of the class action?

Yes, I got mine as well. And it says the payment will be made shortly, if it's not already in your account. So class memebers should start keeping an eye on their bank accounts.
