On July 15, 2022, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement, and notice of the settlement was mailed to all class members on July 29, 2022.  Settlement Class Members are defined as GDIT employees who worked on its OPM contract and were involuntarily terminated between June 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019.

On September 29, 2022, the Court granted final approval of the settlement.  Settlement checks were mailed to eligible class members on November 18, 2022.
