In a sentence
A fixed-payment settlement track the government created for Camp Lejeune claims: $100,000 to $450,000 by disease tier and exposure length, plus $100,000 for wrongful death. Accepting it resolves the claim without litigation.
Uptake has been slow relative to the claim pool: roughly 2,686 offers approved against more than 408,000 administrative claims by mid-2026. Whether to accept a fixed offer versus litigate is exactly the kind of decision your firm exists to advise on.
