As you are aware, the Court has granted final approval of the settlement in this class action lawsuit, finding the settlement to be fair, reasonable, and adequate. All settlement payments to eligible class members have now been issued.

On October 14, 2025, the Class Administrator mailed settlement checks to all eligible class members at their last known addresses. Every class member who did not opt out of the settlement and who had at least one identified pregnancy during the class period received a payment, with a minimum payment of $722. The specific amount of each payment was determined based on several factors, including the number of pregnancies during the class period, whether a reasonable accommodation was requested or whether the class member was deterred from doing so, and whether the class member was serving as a peace officer at the time of the pregnancy.

At this time, a number of settlement checks remain uncashed. Settlement checks may be cashed through October 14, 2026, which is 365 days from the date the checks were issued. Class members who have not yet cashed their checks are encouraged to do so before that deadline.

Under the terms of the Court-approved Settlement Agreement, any settlement checks that are not cashed by October 14, 2026, will become void. The funds from those uncashed checks will be returned to the settlement fund. After deduction of any additional administrative costs associated with reissuance and mailing, the remaining funds will be redistributed in equal, pro rata payments to eligible class members who had one or more reasonable accommodation requests previously identified in the original allocation of settlement shares.

There is nothing you need to do at this time if you have already cashed your check. If you believe you are eligible and did not receive a check, or if you have any questions regarding your payment, please contact the Class Administrator at info@CDCRPregnancySettlement.com or by telephone at 888-369-6078.

Thank you for your participation and patience throughout this process.

We are pleased to inform you that the Court has granted final approval of the settlement in this class action lawsuit, finding it to be fair, reasonable and adequate.

At this time, we are unable to provide the exact amount each class member will receive. However, every class member who did not opt out of the settlement and has at least one identified pregnancy during the class period will receive at least $722. The specific amount of your payment will depend on several factors, including the Class Administrator’s information regarding: the number of pregnancies you had during the class period, whether you sought a reasonable accommodation or verified you were deterred from doing so, and whether you were serving as a peace officer at the time of your pregnancy.

We anticipate that payments will be distributed in or about mid-October, assuming no challenges to the Final Approval Order by the Court.

There is nothing you need to do as a class member at this time. If you have any questions, please contact the Class Administrator at info@CDCRPregnancySettlement.com or 888-369-6078.
