I think at this point what may be most of us who have selected option a and are represented with attorneys only other option to get an understanding of where things are at with these healthcare lean releases, is to send letters to the US trustees office and demand that they get us a comprehensive update from the scouting settlement trust and/or EPIQ

I think we should let the US trustee know that we thank them for sending that motion to the bankruptcy judge and asking for more transparency about the process and that’s great. However the scouting settlement trust’s response to that motion only had one little paragraph in there that addressed what is actually the most problematic situation and that is we are not getting transparency on the healthcare lien release holdbacks!!

Is good to have information on how long it takes for the trust to respond to people or how many employees are working for the trust or how much money blah blah blah but where are the healthcare lean release holdbacks where are they at in the process???how come we cannot get a status meeting from epiq and find out where they’re at.

What states are they close to getting some sort of global settlement agreements with? we want to know these things because we were promised that option a would lead to the quickest resolution of perhaps 45 days and we’re six months out and nobody wants to tell us what the hell is going on.

I think we should reach back out to the US Trustee and express our concerns about this. I’m going to edit this post in a minute and add contact info for the us trustee. If anyone else has it, please add it to the post or in the comments.

Here’s their email: ustrustee.program@usdoj.gov

According to the scouting settlement Trust’s website, there is one Lien Resolution Administrator that is handling all of the healthcare liens. Epiq.

The trust’s website has a lot of updates dated August 3, 2026 under the healthcare lien section under faq section 17. Perhaps this is in response to Judge Silverstein’s ordering the trust last week to advise claimants who the lien resolution administrator is. Perhaps we won’t be receiving any form to sign and these updates are to satisfy her order.

Now before folks start calling them up, I’d just say I doubt they’ll give anybody any info anyway. Especially being that it has to do with HIPA related information. They’re not releasing any info. We’d have to verify our identity before they could even speak to us.

And from reviewing the trust’s website it seems the only changes really are advising that we won’t know the outcome of our lien search until it is complete. No way to get a status of where they are at. Which should’ve been communicate BEFORE because then I wouldn’t have chosen this dumbass option.

I find it incredulous that it says under faq 17.8 it says “Choosing Option B provides predictability, but can take significantly longer than Option A, sometimes over a year.” Because then I come to the conclusion that option A should really take far less than a year, especially if we don’t have any damn liens. And we’re already at six months.

Anyone register to listen in? Anyone know what’s happening????
