Case Background
On April 1, 2010, 5,400 employees lost their jobs when New United Motors Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) closed its doors. All NUMMI employees were offered a severance agreement (also referred to as a "Retention Payment"). However, employees who were on a disability leave of absence at any time from October 1, 2009 through April 1, 2010 were offered substantially less money and were not entitled to other valuable benefits such as transitional services. For some longtime employees, the potential loss exceeds $50,000.


On July 14, 2010, a group of former employees filed a class action lawsuit in federal court against NUMMI and Toyota alleging that the severance package offered by the auto giant discriminates against injured and disabled employees. The class action suit also claims that disabled workers were denied transitional employment services, such as career and skills assessments.


In August 2011 NUMMI and Toyota agreed to pay $6,000,000 to resolve all of the legal claims raised in the lawsuit. The Court gave final approval the terms of the Settlement Agreement on February 3, 2012. The press release is available here.

The deadline to submit completed Acknowledgment or Claim Form was November 29, 2011. No additional Acknowledgment or Claim Forms will be accepted.
