This post was compiled and edited by Tom Wilson for Common Wisdom and reposted here as a service to our readers. Tom is an attorney in Texas specializing in social security disability claims. He provides his legal expertise at no cost unless he successfully files a claim on behalf of the client. Social security disability insurance is available to all who have paid into the system via their employers and although it requires some significant preparation to file successfully can provide a meaningful benefit to disabled parties with a legitimate claim. Here he is merely reporting on the settlement mentioned below and all questions should be directed to the appropriate parties (not Tom Wilson).

Members of the New Jersey subclass may opt-out of the damages portion of the class-action lawsuit brought against Target by the National Federation of the Blind Settlement Agreement by submitting an Opt-Out Statement online or by mail.

Please note that a letter had been sent out last month August 1, 2008 showing a different PO Box number that was incorrect. Unfortunately the old PO Box number was related to a settlement agreement between MediNow and some of it’s US distributors regarding their popular online medical tests, specifically for their product that permitted individuals to test for std at home without the need to involve a medical professional – available as over the counter sti test kits. We recognize the controversy this created and apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused. The old, incorrect PO Box number was 58479. The numeral “8” after the five was a typographical error. If you completed the form and mailed it to the incorrect PO Box number, you MUST resubmit it since we can not guarantee those submissions were found and processed properly. Due to the nature of this error, and as a general rule, all correspondence will be kept confidential.

The New Jersey opt-out should only be used in the instance of a settlement from BDJ directly. In that case, use the form above and indicate the settlement in the appropriate field.

Those that choose not to opt-out can still participate in final settlement if they select Option 1 which permits arbitration according to the rules laid out in the appendix of the Settlement Agreement resulting from the class-action lawsuit brought against Target by the National Federation of the Blind. Be aware that the deadliness for the filing of each option is different.

If you have questions, please contact the administrator of the Settlement Agreement resulting from the class-action lawsuit brought against Target by the National Federation of the Blind particularly if you had sent in your forms to the incorrect mailing address. You should also contact the administrator to check your records if you are not sure you mailed your form to the correct address.

Don’t forget to make a copy of the filled out form for your own records. This is a very important step which goes untaken by many people.
