The proposed $1,900,000 settlement covers MyMichigan Health plan participants who used GoalMaker or the plan's stable value option from March 18, 2019. Payments follow plan records and need no claim form; a rollover must be elected by November 18, 2026. The court has not yet approved the settlement.
Benefit Summary
Eligible plan members: Covered participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees, excluding committee members.
Your share depends on your average balance in the plan's stable-value investment compared with other members' average balances. A current plan account receives a deposit. Other eligible members receive a check unless they successfully choose a qualifying retirement-account rollover. No fixed individual payment is promised.
Court-approved legal fees, case expenses, administration costs and representative awards come out of the $1.9 million before members are paid.

Who Is Included
The settlement covers MyMichigan Health 403(b) Savings Plan participants who used GoalMaker or put any part of their account in the GIF from March 18, 2019 through the court's preliminary approval date. Beneficiaries and recorded alternate payees are included. Committee members are excluded. An alternate payee is someone entitled to plan benefits under a qualifying domestic-relations order.
- Proof required: No claim form or loss documents are needed for the automatic payment; the administrator uses plan records. An optional rollover requires a completed election form, signature and tax information, with representative documents when applicable.

Questions & Answers
Do I have to file a claim to receive money?
No. The administrator uses plan records to calculate payments. If your plan account can accept the payment when distributions occur, the money goes into that account. Otherwise, the default is a mailed check. A rollover is an optional way to receive the same payment, not extra money.
How will my payment be calculated?
The administrator compares your average balance in the stable-value investment with the combined average balances of eligible members. Larger qualifying balances generally produce larger shares. The notice estimates roughly 18,000 class members, but it does not promise a dollar amount per person.
Court-approved deductions reduce the money available. The administrator makes the final allocation decisions under the approved formula in settlement agreement Article 5.
How do I choose a rollover instead of a check?
If you will not have a current plan account, complete the rollover form for a retirement account or eligible employer plan willing to accept the payment. The printed form requires a signature, birth date, tax identification and W-9 certification, plus the receiving account details. Missing or unsuccessful rollover instructions generally lead to a check instead.
The official form allows mail, a signed copy by email, or online filing. Mail must be postmarked by November 18, 2026 to Moffit v MyMichigan Health, c/o Settlement Administrator, PO Box 64053, Saint Paul, MN 55164. Online and email submissions must reach the administrator on time. The online login asks for Claimant ID and last name.
Form and login checked September 8, 2026: https://www.mymichigansettlement.com/settlement-documents/ . Follow the full form instructions, including special documentation for a deceased member or alternate payee.
What if I moved or left the plan?
Tell Atticus about a new mailing address at 1-800-348-8071 or [email protected]. Leaving the plan does not by itself remove you from the settlement. What matters for the payment method is whether you have an account able to accept the deposit when money is distributed.
Are there tax consequences?
The notice says checks are subject to required tax withholding and reporting. Withholding may not cover the full tax owed. A qualifying direct rollover receives different tax treatment; a Roth rollover can be taxable. The notice's final page discusses additional rollover rules, including the usual 60-day period for an indirect rollover.
Use the notice and form to understand the options, and ask a tax adviser how they apply to you. The administrator can help complete the form but does not choose the best tax option for you.
When should payments arrive?
Payments require final approval and completion of any appeals. If there are no appeals or unexpected delays, the notice estimates distribution within about four months after the final approval order. That is an estimate, not a promised payment date. No payments are made if the settlement is terminated.
How much will lawyers and representatives receive?
The lawyers may request up to one-third of the fund, or $633,333.33, plus litigation and administration expenses. Each of the two named representatives may request up to $5,000. The court decides what to approve, and approved amounts reduce the fund before payments to members.
The notice lists September 15 for the fee application, while the official homepage says October 28, 2026. Check the documents page for the actual filing and contact the administrator if its availability affects your objection. Sources checked September 8, 2026: notice page 4 and https://www.mymichigansettlement.com/ .
Why are different objection and appearance dates listed?
The retained notice says September 30, 2026 for objections in its table and Question 11. Its table also uses a rule of 21 days before the November 18 hearing. The current official homepage instead lists October 28 for objections, which matches that 21-day rule.
For asking to speak, notice Question 14 says October 30, while the website says at least 21 days before the hearing, which points to October 28. These differences have not been resolved here. If you plan to object or speak, contact Atticus promptly rather than relying on the later date.

How do I object or ask to speak?
An objection must identify the case, give your contact details, explain your reasons, include supporting documents and any lawyer's details, and carry your signature. File it with the court and send copies to both sides' lawyers. Notice Question 11 lists the full requirements and mailing addresses; confirm the deadline as explained above.
To speak, also file and send a notice of intent to appear as described in Question 14. You do not need to attend for a properly submitted written objection to be considered. The notice's electronic-filing link points to a different court district, so confirm filing instructions with the Michigan court or the administrator before using it.
Can I leave the settlement?
No. This settlement does not allow members to opt out. If approved, it binds covered members and releases the claims described in settlement agreement paragraph 1.40. You may object, but objecting does not let you leave. Doing nothing still allows an automatic payment if you qualify.
When is the court hearing?
The hearing is scheduled for November 18, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. before Judge David M. Lawson in Courtroom 767, Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse, 231 W. Lafayette Blvd., Detroit, Michigan. Attendance is optional. Check the official site for a changed date or remote-hearing instructions.
