Holders of Allowed Channeled PI/WD Claims are entitled to receive distribution from the PI/WD Trust Assets.

Only Holders of Allowed Channeled PI/WD Claims are entitled to receive distribution from the PI/WD Trust Assets.

Holders of Channeled PI/WD Claims.

Yes, August 8, 2025. The sooner claimants submit their information, the sooner the PI/WD Trustee can determine whether the claims are “Allowed PI/WD Claims” and begin making payments to Holders of Allowed Channeled PI/WD Claims from the PI/WD Trust Assets.

The PI/WD Trustee will use the Claims Matrix and Scaling Factors as a basis to determine a Proposed Allowed Claim Amount for each Allowed PI/WD Claim.

An "Expedited Distribution” is an election made by a Personal Injury Claimant who meets the following criteria and choose to resolve his or her entire Personal Injury Claim for an expedited distribution of $5,000 if they meet the following criteria:

• The Personal Injury Claimant made an Expedited Distribution Election in his or her Basic Claim Submission to the Trust or otherwise in accordance with the Plan and Confirmation Order; and
• The Personal Injury Claimant satisfies the Threshold Criteria to be eligible to receive compensation from the PI/WD Trust Assets:
  1. Has already timely filed, or was deemed to have timely filed, Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court;
  2. Personally signed the Proof of Claim attesting to the truth of the Proof of Claim under penalty of perjury, or supplements his or her Proof of Claim;
  3. Has filed the Proof of Claim that is free of material defect so the PI/WD Trustee is able to determine that Proof of Claim is valid and is not barred by applicable law;
  4. Did not have his or her Trust Claim dismissed on merits or has received payments on his or her Trust Claim so that no recovery from the Trust would be permissible under the TDP.

Personal Injury Claimants who chose to receive the Expedited Distribution and who met the Threshold Criteria, shall be entitled to receive their expedited payment upon executing an appropriate release. A Personal Injury Claimant who chooses to receive the Expedited Distribution for their PI/WD Claim shall have no other remedies with respect to his or her Personal Injury Claim against the Trust and will not be eligible to receive any further distribution on account of their claim from the Trust.

Note: An Expedited Distribution of $5,000 may be reduced if the Personal Injury Claimant is obligated to pay governmental medical liens, including but not limited to, Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental liens.

Note: Claimants that selected an Expedited Distribution are not required to submit “Personal Injury Claim Criteria”.

All Claims must satisfy 11 U.S.C. § 502. Holders of PI/WD Claims may submit the following “Personal Injury Claim Criteria”

1. Medical Records: Medical records or other medical evidence that contain information sufficient to support a diagnosis or treatment of any alleged injury for which the Personal Injury Claimant seeks compensation.
2. Description of Injury: A written narrative or an audio or video recording detailing the Personal Injury Claimant’s injury or treatment, including a timeline of such injury or treatment. This may be provided by an attorney, personal representative, or family member for Personal Injury Claims involving wrongful death.
3. Location of Incarceration: Evidence sufficient to show that the Personal Injury Claimant was incarcerated at one or more facilities which the Tehum Care Services, Inc. or Corizon Health, Inc. operated and provided medical services and the approximate starting and ending dates (where applicable) of incarceration at each facility.

“PI/WD Claim” means any unsecured Claim against the Debtor that is attributable to, arises from, is based upon, relates to, or results from an alleged personal injury tort or wrongful death claim within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(B), including any PI/WD Claim against the Debtor regardless of whether such Claim is alleged to have been allocated to CHS TX, Inc. or YesCare Corp. under the Plan of Divisional Merger. The term PI/WD Claim does not include Indirect PI/WD Claims.

Yes, Holders of PI/WD Claims must submit a valid form of identification.

In addition, if you are submitting a claim on behalf of a deceased or incapacitated Holder of a PI/WD Claim, you must submit a valid form of identification and provide supporting legal documentation showing you have the authority to do so.

No, you are not required to hire a lawyer, but a lawyer may be helpful. The PI/WD Trustee and its agents will not provide you with legal advice.  If you are represented by a lawyer, then your lawyer should submit information.  All correspondence regarding your claim should be with your lawyer’s office.

The PI/WD Trustee is pushing to begin making payments on Allowed Channeled PI/WD Claims as soon as possible. But first, the PI/WD Trustee must determine whether Personal Injury Claimants have Allowed Channeled PI/WD Claims.

Because there is uncertainty in the prediction of both the total amount of the Trust’s liabilities and the amount of the Trust Assets, no guarantee can be made as to the total payment that the Trust will be able to pay for any Allowed Trust Claim.

No.
