Mass General ERISA Settlement

Norton, et al. v. Mass General Brigham Inc.
No. 1:22-cv-10045-MJJ

If you were a participant in the Consolidated 403(b) Program of Mass General Brigham and Member Organizations Plan at any time between January 13, 2016 and May 5, 2025, you may benefit from this class action settlement.

A Settlement has received Preliminary Approval in the above-captioned matter.

The Court still must decide whether to give its Final Approval to the Settlement. Payments under the Settlement will be made only if the Court finally approves the Settlement and that Final Approval is upheld in the event of any appeal.

What Are My Options?

Receive Settlement Payment (if entitled)

If the Settlement is approved by the Court and you are a member of the Settlement Class, you will not need to file a claim to receive a Settlement payment if you are entitled to one.

If you currently have money in the Plan and are a Settlement Class Member, any share of the Net Settlement Amount to which you are entitled will be deposited in your Plan account. If you are a Former Participant (no longer a participant in the Plan) and are a Settlement Class Member, any money you are entitled to will be paid to you by check. Not all Settlement Class Members will receive a payment, and it may take several months for the payments to be made. All checks will be valid for 90 days only.

Object

If you want to object to any part of the Settlement, you may write to the Court to explain why you object. Address your objection to Clerk of the Court, United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse, US Courthouse, 1 Courthouse Way, Boston, MA 02210.

Attend Hearing

— Scheduled: September 25, 2025 at 11 a.m.

You may (but do not have to) attend the Fairness Hearing about the Settlement. If you submitted a timely written objection, you may talk to the Court about your objection at that hearing. You may attend the Fairness Hearing even if you do not file a written objection, but you will be allowed to speak at the Fairness Hearing only if you file a written objection by the Court-approved deadline AND you file a notice of intention to appear, as described in the answers to Question No. 16 in the Long Form Settlement Notice available on this website.
