A number of participants have recently received notices regarding settlement of a class action involving Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The Fund receives certain services from Blue Cross and Blue Shield and is reviewing claims the Fund has against Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The Fund cannot provide advice to individual participants regarding the settlement. However, because the Fund pays the BCBS fees, and may possess claims against BCBS that it will evaluate and possibly pursue, individuals may conclude they don't need to take further action. www.BCBSsettlement.com can provide additional information. The Fund Office possesses no additional information relevant to individuals' possible claims.
