⚠️ Watchouts & Tips
Average is not your guaranteed amount—individual payment depends on actual premium history and applicable adjustments .
No payment below about $5, prorated across claim values.
Tax treatment may vary. Some believe it’s reimbursive (non-taxable), others see it as taxable. When in doubt, consult a tax professional .
✅ Bottom Line
You likely qualify if you filed a claim by Nov 5, 2021 and had BCBS coverage during 2008–2020.
Expect your claim determination notice in early 2025.
Payments should arrive mid-to-late 2025, after review and dispute phases conclude.
