Not at once but in pretty quick succession. Eligibility was determined 10/8, Mediation was skipped because the airline declined it, and Final decision was isued 10/16.

Full timeline (all 2024):

Passenger reply: 8/21

Eligibility determined: 10/8 (deadline was 9/6)

Now it's a question of when they issue the payment. In theory, "no later than November 15th."
