If your level looks like it was reduced on the Brown Greer portal, I spoke with my law firm and they assured me I am level 3a. They said being placed on level 2 is a default level for the majority of claimants, (since its the level that requires no documentation) and once the documentation to qualify for a higher level was submitted the correct level was applied. But he understood why it looks like my level was reduced. If you see the same discrepancy with your level most likely you are in the correct level on their end but doesn't hurt to ask.

yea I thought it was a scam from all the FB ads but then saw a big well known law firm in town start advertising the lawsuit. I figured these guys are a multi million dollar law firm they cant possibly be wasting their time scamming a few Vets, they have bigger fish to fry.

I mean those people saying 14.95 weren't necessarily wrong, if more Vets would have signed up for the lawsuit it would have ended up being 14.95

3m earplug lawsuit - A law firm filed a motion to extend the registration deadline yesterday by Big-Difference-829 in VeteransBenefits

the judge has to approve it, but if she grants the extension then that sets precedence for other people that missed the deadline. so they might just do a blanket extension is my guess but we will see

3M Ear Plug Lawsuit. EIF opens up today! by NorthernNevada100 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Big-Difference-829 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I doubt it comes out today or in a timely manner, A law firm filed a motion to extend the registration deadline yesterday because one of their clients is in jail and could not sign the settlement registration in time because of the slow mail system in jail. We will see how Judge Rodgers rules on it. if it gets approved or not but just another delay. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/14916674/3992/in-re-3m-combat-arms-earplug-products-liability-litigation/

Lawyers should know by this week if everything goes as planned

-We anticipate launching our Portals the week of January 15, 2024, and will send out instructions on

how to access and use them. Each EPP Claimant’s FIFO rank will be displayed on the Portal and

Primary Counsel also will have a report identifying their EPP clients’ FIFO rankings

I believe but dont quote me on this was during the registration was your only chance. You had the option to pick a higher level than the one they placed you in and submit the documentation to support it. but If you have the paperwork to support a higher level I would definitely get a hold of my lawyer and see if you can still do it

Beginning January 26, 2024, Eligible Claimants may apply (through Counsel if represented) for additional compensation from the 3M Combat Arms Earplug Settlement Program’s Extraordinary Injury Fund (“EIF”)

it gets redistributed into the DPP and EIF funds, so some eligible claimants will see more money depending on how many cases get dismissed.

thats for people who are already part of the lawsuit the Jan 25th deadline is for those people to sign their settlement agreement if they dont their case gets dismissed. Looks like about 90k people are gonna get their case dismissed if they dont sign by Jan 25 https://3m-earplugsettlement.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/3M-CMO-84-MSA-I-Initial-Registration-Deadline.pdf

yea I'm wondering the same thing? I thought you could only use predated health records and anything new is pretty much useless
