RELEASE CARD SETTLEMENT

A settlement was reached in a lawsuit that provides up to $11.6 million to make payments to persons who received prepaid debit cards, often called “release cards,” to receive money returned to them when they were released from a jail or other detention facility. You could get up to $15 plus 3 times the amount of fees you were charged if you are member of the settlement class.
