For those wondering, here is the official website where you had to sign up by one year ago to be part of the settlement group. Gives all the information.
I remeber reading that if the checks were less than $5 they were going to just give the money away to schools as it wouldn't be cost effective to mail a check for $5. I had written it off as I thought for sure too many people would sign up, the checks would be too small to be sent out. Imagine my suprise. Sis got one too.
