The Beacon Journal says it has mailed all the reimbursement checks for those Composing and Guild retirees who won their healthcare lawsuit,
The 50 retirees and spouses are being reimbursed for the difference between what they paid after the BJ unilaterally changed healthcare coverage for prescriptions and medical care and what they would have paid under $2 or $5 prescription co-pay and the UnitedHealthcare AARP Plan N and Medicare supplement package set up as part of the settlement.

The reimbursements are for 2005 through 2012. Since the $100,000 fund the BJ set up was not exceeded, the BJ paid 100% of all approved claims.
The prescription co-pay cards revert to $2 (Guild) and $5 (printers) for 30 days, or $4 and $10 for 90 days if the lawsuit beneficiaries use Medical Mutual (Medco) prescription mail-ins.
This restores the retirees' retirement day coverage, which Black Press changed in 2007 after purchasing the Beacon Journal.
The BJ will pay the premiums for Plan N and paid all of the retirees' attorneys fees: $772,500.
One by one retirees have been reporting that they got their reimbursement checks. If you filed reimbursement claims but haven't received a BJ check, contact BJ Settlement Administrator Roger Messmore, BJ Comptroller, at the Beacon.
