Not all claims have been settled. We can deal with the claims that have been settled where we understand what the award should be. They will be verified by the State Claims Agency and then will be brought to the courts for payment to be issued. That happens in six month tranches. The State Claims Agency is preparing to move with the first tranche of approximately 250. Six months from then is the timeline under current legislation to bring in the next tranche.
