I did not mean to start arguments either. Just expressing an opinion. In my mind at times I struggle with the thought of are any of us really in titled to any financial gain. I know this will sound crazy to some but people do die. No one gets out of here alive. Now please don't jump all over me but my dad made it to 72 and mom made it to 75. Would have loved to have them longer but that seems to be up to God. As for me I've made it to 58 so far and if I were to go today it's been a good life. Yes I have filed for all 3 of us because it's money and I can use it just like anybody else. I admit that at the time of my parents death the fact that they smoked never entered my mind.

I am sure that this law firm earned every dollar that they where awarded. But suspect that they had many backers, and I wish that I had some stock in them. Your recipts are in the mail, and mine came from Seattle today.

I found my smoking record on a insurance application on page 1. I also had a picture of me smoking. My doctor also wrote a letter stating I was a smoker. Most hospitals have records on micro film, they sent copies of my records to my doctor.

If 25% wont qualify,that means about 45,000
will.The cost of distribution will be great.
All the workers going through the decision making,will have to be paid.I am guessing the payoff to be about 10,000.00 if we even get that much.Whatever we get, it is money we didnt have before.We should be forever greatful to the people
who suffered and died for it
Has anyone else heard that we will have to pay the workers for GCG? I would think they get paid the GCG, what right would they have to take it out of the fund. Just doesn't sound right to me. Any others thoughts on this?

I have not read or heard anything about having to pay GCG. If you go to their web site they are a company with 400 employees that handles class acion settlements and on the video it says they are hired by the attorneys. I am assuming (uh oh) that the attorneys will be paying them out of the millions they recieved.

I am under the impression that I read somewhere that the employees of the GCG and/or ETF are being paid with the interest earned on the $600 million fund.

The answers you seek can be found looking at the Miami Court Docket On line. Look at the pleading and look at the CT/C Orders. If you can go thier and read the documents. They will reveal who got paid and when.

You won't get notice of any deficiencies for a while, probably October. Then you will have time to resolve the deficiency.

I believe your right. I know I read it some place that Oct. would be notification of what to expect in funds. Pay out Dec. or early 2009. Seem to recall something about the funds being able to be taxed and something about possible paybacks to Medicaid and I think both of those are still up in the air. I can't seem to find the place where I read all this so I hesitate to say anymore for fear of giving out wrong info.

This is the information I received on July 30, from Engle Trust:
"Upon our receipt of your Class Membership Paperwork Submission Form, we will mail a postcard to you acknowledging receipt. If you have not received an acknowledgement postcard by August 15, 2008, please contact us at 1-888-404-8013.
We will review the documentation you have sent. If it is not sufficient, we will notify you in writing and provide you with an opportunity to cure any deficiencies.
The Court has ordered the Claims Administrator to mail a Notice of Distribution no later than October 13, 2008. That Notice will describe a mechanism through which claimants may comment on the Notice of Distribution. The Court will consider those comments and the recommendation of the Trustee and will decide on the distributions on or before December 17, 2008.
If you should have any other questions, please contact us accordingly. For your convenience, you can also reach us toll-free by calling 1-888-404-8013, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:30AM and 5:00PM (PST).
We received approximately 67,000 registrations before deduplication. "
