• All class members sent the July 2017 mailing are entitled to a base payment of $642.43.
• Class members who did not submit a claim, and for whom Aetna provided a Social Security Number, were sent $642.43 on Dec. 28, 2018.
• Class members who did not submit a claim, and for whom Aetna was unable to provide a Social Security Number, were sent $500 on Dec. 28, 2018 and an additional $142.43 in January 2019.
• Class members who submitted a claim, and for whom Aetna provided a Social Security Number, were sent the full amount of their approved claim and the $642.43 base payment on Dec. 28, 2018.
• Class members who submitted a claim, but for whom Aetna was unable to provide a Social Security Number, were sent $500 and notice of the amount of their approved claim on Dec. 28, 2018.
