NextEra Energy - Retirement Plans
If you were a participant or beneficiary in the NextEra Energy Employee Retirement Savings Plan, you're likely covered and don't need to do anything to get paid. The $8 million settlement is pending court approval, and payments will be distributed automatically to eligible plan members.
$8,000,000 gross settlement fund
Your share comes from the net settlement fund after attorneys' fees (up to 33% of $8 million), administration costs, and up to $25,000 for an independent fiduciary are deducted. The remaining amount is divided among class members according to a court-approved plan of allocation. Individual share amounts won't be available until after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
