Plaintiffs allege that the New York Medicaid program allowed nursing homes to bill both Medicare and Medicaid for the same services. This policy allowed nursing homes to collect the individual's Medicaid "co-payment" for services that were covered by their Medicare.</li> <br> <br> <li><b>Who is part of the Settlement Class?</b>&nbsp;The Settlement Class consists of individuals who received payment from both Medicare and New York's Medicaid program toward their care in a skilled nursing facility during any month of 1989 ("Settlement Class Members"). The Settlement provides an $11 million fund to refund the heirs of patients who overpaid for Nursing Home Services.</li> </ul> </div> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#006699"> <tr> <td> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#006699"> <div align="center" class="style4"> IMPORTANT DATES &amp; DEADLINES</div> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFDD"> <td> <span class="style13">Class Period:</span></td> <td width="63%" valign="middle" nowrap> <span class="style13"><strong>January 01, 1989 through December 31, 1989</strong> </span> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFDD"> <td> <span class="style13">File an Objection by:</span></td> <td valign="middle" nowrap> <span class="style15"><font color="#FF0000">December 22, 2006</font></span></td> </tr> <tr valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFDD"> <td> <span class="style13">Claim Form<br> Postmarked By:</span></td> <td valign="middle" nowrap> <span class="style13"><strong>Must Be Returned Within<br> 30 days of Date Mailed to you<br> (Postmark Date) or 30 days after web print date </strong></span> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFDD"> <td> <span class="style13">Hearing Date:</span></td> <td valign="middle" nowrap> <span class="style15"><font color="#FF0000">December 28, 2006</font><div align="center"> </div> </span> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <blockquote> <p align="justify"> </p> </blockquote> <p align="center"> <font color="#FF0000"><b>Please be aware that the deadline to file an objection has passed.</b></font> </p> <p align="center"> For further information, including settlement papers, the Notice, claim forms and frequently asked questions, click on the links at the right. </p> <table width="300" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#000033"> <tr> <td> <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#006699"> <div align="center" class="style8"> If you have questions about the Settlement, please contact the Settlement Administrator at:</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFDD"> <p class="style10"> Conrad v.
