flint water crisis settlement

Thursday is the deadline to file a claim for part of the $626 million settlement.

Flint residents will now have until June 30 to file a claim for a share of a $626 million legal settlement tied to the Flint water crisis. The original deadline to file a claim had been this Thursday.

To date, only about 13,000 official claims have been filed for part of the $626 million settlement. The deadline to submit a claim in May 12.

The plaintiffs' attorney had requested more than $200 million. Co-lead counsel Michael Pitt estimates the judge's order will mean the attorneys will receive around $190 million.

A “remarkable achievement,” that’s how U.S. District Court Judge Judith Levy describes the roughly $626 million settlement in her 178 page opinion.

McLaren Flint Hospital originally committed $20 million to the settlement. That now drops to $5 million.
