The settlement fund is structured as follows:

- For each additional claimant above 151, the administrator will increase the fund by $1,310.33 up to a maximum of $602,000.
- No individual class member will receive more than $5,000. If their calculated share exceeds $5,000, the settlement administrator will distribute the excess to the Legal Foundation of Washington.
- The settlement administrator characterizes all payments as nonwage damages and will report them on IRS Form 1099.
