RE: settlement check
every state is different but I believe 30 days is the norm

RE: settlement check
I am not from IL but Bad Boy and Tuffy are ,either or both will be along and answer you but most keep that money in their account as long as they can so they collect interest on it

RE: settlement check
Hi and congrats on your settlement, feels good I know. Yes I am in Illinois, and it took me 8 weeks to receive my check, It was hand delivered to my attorneys office the last day. They IC likes to wait untill the last day, as they are collecting interest on that money, and hate to let go of it. Good luck and look for your check anywhere from settlement to 8 weeks. anything past that time and you can go after them for being late......

RE: settlement check
About 30 days after full process so it can be like Tuffy said, a few weeks to 8 weeks. Depends on how long processing takes to get done.

RE: settlement check
Your attorney has no say as to when the IC issues the settlement check. It is all up to the IC and the time frame, From the time the arbitrator ok's the settlement and up to 8 weeks.........
