FLINT, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – More than five years after the state of Michigan agreed to pay $626.25 million to settle the Flint Water Crisis, payments have yet to go out.

The $626.25 million settlement from the state of Michigan is still under “the supervision of the court,” according to a government website set up to address questions on the settlement. There are three other settlements with private engineering companies that would be distributed in a second payment.

On Oct. 17, media reports said that Genesee County Commissioner Delrico Loyd claimed the settlement payments would be released in November.

Four days later, Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley put out a press release disputing that claim.

“Despite recent public claims, neither the Special Master nor the U.S. District Court has provided any definitive release date for settlement payments to residents, other than referencing ‘late summer or early fall’ in a letter sent to the City of Flint administration in response to a request for information,” Neeley stated in an Oct. 21 press release.

Website woes.

A New York City law firm representing the Office of the Special Master, Deborah Greenspan, appointed by the Court in the Flint Water Cases, referred to a website when asked about when payments would be issued to Flint residents.

That website didn’t provide information on payment settlement dates but said the current government shutdown didn’t impact the claims process. However, it did state, “Some of that money has been paid for fees and costs approved by the court.”

The website said 79.5% of the settlement money would go to children, 15% of the funds for adults with injuries, 3% for residential property damage, 0.5% for business loss and 2% for the school system.

To be eligible for funds, people had to be “exposed” to Flint’s water starting in 2014. The website gave four examples such as where a person lived, went to school, went to daycare or camp or where they worked.
