Read off the official notice, in its own words. These dates slip — an appeal can move a distribution by a year or more — so treat it as the administrator's plan rather than a schedule.

Jefferson County Health Department patient and personnel records

J.D., et al. v. Jefferson County Health Center d/b/a Jefferson County Health Department · 2622-CC00457 · Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri

The fixed cash payment is $150 and the site says it needs no documentation. Separately, up to $300 covers lost time and out-of-pocket expenses, and that option does need supporting documentation. Both come out of a $2,250,000 fund. The claim form is hosted by Kroll and would not open to an automated request, so whether it asks for a claim number from the mailed notice could not be checked. Amounts are estimates, not guarantees.
