[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2432241, member: 60252"] Nobody objected in the Oregon settlement, and the judge signed off. So that money will be distributed starting in 30 days from Oct 20th. I was within a few thousand dollars of objecting to the settlement. The amount I'm getting is enough to make a big difference in my life, and give me about $300 in extra spending money every month for the rest of my life. It allows me to make some moves that may even mean up to $600 a month if I want to do a little work. But $40 for every week I worked would have been nothing. If you decide to object, personally I think that the social security taxes fedex avoided, and the business support package costs should be the minimum you get back. That is just about what the Oregon amount covers. If you paid worker's comp before 2007, that should be included as well. California drivers were awarded more than Oregon because California laws don't allow employers to make employees some of the costs. If your case followed a course similar to Oregon, it should have gone to the Circuit Court of Appeals, and then sent to each separate state to determine what you were owed based on your state's laws. I honestly think your attorneys should have gotten you more than the $40 you mentioned just in federal taxes, considering a federal court said we were employees. If you do object, follow the instructions very carefully. A one page typed complaint is maybe enough. And maybe you can find out if the people who objected in Ca had attorneys who could help, or send you a copy of their objection. You could even contact the court and pay a few bucks for a copy of the objection. [/QUOTE]
