Common questions
- How much does the MSU Counseling & Mental Health Services Fund pay?
- Estimated payout: Reimbursement of eligible out-of-pocket expenses for mental health treatment. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- What is the claim deadline for the MSU Counseling & Mental Health Services Fund?
- This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was August 31, 2022. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
- Do I need proof of purchase for the MSU Counseling & Mental Health Services Fund?
- Yes. This settlement asks for documentation supporting your claim — a receipt, an account record, or the notice you were sent. Check the official settlement website for exactly which documents are accepted.
- Is the MSU Counseling & Mental Health Services Fund notice real, or a scam?
- JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at msuhealingfund.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the MSU Counseling & Mental Health Services Fund be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. Payments cannot be issued until the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
